[quote]Do you have to be weaned off of the Fentanyl patch?[/quote]Indeed you do. This is a very powerful drug so do stay and watch carefully the effects. The patches come in different dosages and is very effective.

Remember pain slows recovery and healing so do accept pain meds as there is no reason to suffer.

Good luck,
