Worked perfectly but stopping using them was one of the most difficult things Ive ever done. I dont plan on using them again once the baby is here.

I was on Fentanyl Patches for over a year. I got pregnant in July and had to be weened off of them. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I officially stopped using them last month but still experience withdrawals if I do not have Lortab to take to combat them. They worked really well but I am going to choose to never go back on them again unless my MS or Fibromyalgia progresses further and I can not find any other medication to work.

This worked great until my Dr. took me off of it cold turkey due to a manufacturing problem with the 25mcg although I was on the 100 mcg. this cost me a visit to an ER for withdrawal. Wish I could get back on it, it wored better than the Kadian I'm on now.
