Hi Debbie,

You're very welcome to our site and the support here is fantastic and is always here if and when you need it. You certainly sound like your body is putting you through the wars.

I'm on similar medication to you 75 mcg of the patch with some Oxynorm and OxyContin with some other bits. I find that it definitely takes a few days for the full effects to kick in. It's not a drug to be messed so take it as your Dr prescribes and dont change it in any way. If you're not sure about anything or it's making you feel very I'll you should speak to your doctor, your other meds might need to be altered now your taking the Fentynal.

Please remember that everybody reacts to medication like this in a different way so it might effect you or differently to someone else, I find taking oral medication with some food a good idea. I remember feeling extremely tired when I first took it but that was it. Your body may also eventually get used to the drug and your Dr may change your dosage, that's what happened to me. At this stage try not to worry too much about the addiction, your Dr will bring you down safely and in stages so you won't go cold turkey.

If your worried I'd like to say again, speak to your Dr and remember that everyone reacts differently to their medication.

I hope this helps, best of luck and please keep in touch.
