Withdrawing From Fentanyl But No Symptoms

I've been on Fentanyl 100mch for over 7 yrs due to severe Neuropathic Pain in my right arm as well as Spinal Stenosis in my lower back. I also take Ultram 50mg for increased night pain. Due to an insurance issue it's been 8 days since my last patch. I feel no withdrawal symptoms. No dizziness, no nausea, no increased anxiety or sleep problems. I don't even feel an increased pain level. Is it too soon for symptoms, or does my body process Fentanyl differently?

Hello, Kaasan! How are you?

Some people don't, though we don't know why, but some people can just stop some medications like this and not experience withdrawals, or their symptoms are so mild that they aren't problematic.

Are you still doing well?

As listed by the FDA, the typical withdrawal side effects may include nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, rebound pain and diarrhea.

Holy moly! I wish I could have that problem. I just about die when my patch wears out about 3 hours past due to change it.
