I'm finally starting to taper off of fentanyl and ween off of oxycodone, I'm severly addicted to the opiates. Every 60 hours or so I start getting "antsy" with severe fatigue and weakness in my leggs, this lets me know it's time to change patches. If I'm not in a position to change patches or I've just changed patches and waiting for the fentanyl to kick, I take 15mg of oxy and that "recharges" me.

I've found that when I am out and about and I get nailed with severe fatigue I can pop an oxy and go the rest of the day feeling "normal". I hate this though as I hate being addicted to this crap and the feeling when my patch goes dry.

Anyone else out there experience this or have any insights on how they came off this stuff?

Thanks in advance

Eric
