When I withdrew from the 50 mg fentyl patch + 8 oxycodone/day - it took a weekend in the hospital where I thought I would die from the pain and opiate withdrawal symptoms. It was a different pain than the rsd symptoms - different but just as painful.

It took me 4 months to get completely off all opiates. I first went down to the 25 mg patch, then went from 8 oxy's/day for 1 wk to 7/day for a wk then 6/day for a wk and so on. It was very long but it did work and I finally got off the opiates and the scary feelings from withdrawral ended.

I feel so badly for you and you daughter. It is a horrifiying experience to live thru. I really felt like I was going to die. It's difficult to explain - allen does a great job of it.

Just know that in time the withdrawral symptoms do go away.

Peace and hope,
Lisa
