Hi Rollz, what a horrible story. It’s hard to believe that a doctor (or his staff) could be so heartless and inflexible. First off, please, please do not start on Fentanyl. It’s the strongest full agonist known to man and after 4 years clean you do not want to start on that – it would be a disaster.
I just went through a similar situation, albeit far less severe. I was cut off abruptly, then had the opportunity to go back on a week later. After ten days I would understand if you just want to stick it out. I ended up going on a very low dose (0.5 mg to start, then raised it to 0.75mg) and honestly, I feel fantastic. So I’m going to stay on it until I feel I have detoxed from 2 years at 12 mg, probably a couple of weeks, then taper down to 0.25 mg before I go off. If you decide to do something like this ask for the 2 mg films (or tabs). They are much easier to cut into tiny doses. I know less than a mg sounds like nothing, but this is a powerful drug. After being in WD a tiny dose like that will give you a lot of relief.
I wish you the best, and let us know how it goes,
Lilly
