      it is because she has forgotten to change her patch that she is suffering from these symptoms. these are classic withdrawal symptoms. please remind her about the patch. if I forget (and I'm on 50mg) I get very tired, then cramps, sickness, diarrhoea and then the shakes.

      sending you best regards

    Im so sorry to hear all you and your wife ate going through.

    your wife really needs to be seen by a medical dr,

    I do know if she is not getting a new patch on exactly 72 hrs, she will start to withdrawl.

    When I was on fentanyl, 75-200mg, it was every 48 hrs, because the longer your on these mediciations, the liver processes faster and faster, initially it was every 72 hrs.

    PRAYING and HOPING things improve!
