I took my Fentynl patch off (25mcg) and I ran out of my Neurontin now it feels like my skin is crawling. My legs hurt a lot! I was trying to get off the patch. I didnt think it was doing me any good. I had to put it back on and it helped a little. My legs still ache and feel edgy. It feels like my legs are having an anxiety attack. I dont understand. It hurts to move. I have scietiaca (sp?) and some minor bulging disks. Has anyone else had this feeling? Please let me know what helps.

Thanks, I am going to see hiim next week. My lab results came back that I am anemic. I need more iron.

Margie, Did you get the Fentanyl patch figured out? I too am on it. It was morphine in the hospital, then Percoset and Vocodin at home. Then the pharmacist said I was getting too much Tylenol (in the Pec and Vic), so i went to the 50 mcg Fentanyl patch. I really wanted to get off everything, but you have to do it slowly because of opioid dependency. So I did three weeks of 50 mcg, then I went to three weeks of 25 mcg. Next week I'll go down to 12.5 mcg for three weeks. I got a few withdrawal symptoms. That's what the crawly feeling is. Anyway, are you off Fentanyl now?
