MD susbscribe for short time he said was on them or opinates for over a year. Now am down to cold turkey, also have severe IBS it is the most painfull thing ever had. He then gave me a pain pill so back I went sorry no tossed em into the toliet and that is that. Not going back any ideas, Have been off opana for 3 weekd last drug in a series of getting off. Sure is misery any one got a time guess as to how long this withdrawal lasts. Never touch anything but prescribed seems like the MD's are making drug addicts out of us. Any idea would be appreciated.Thanks jlre2

Irritable Bowl Syndrome can be very painful, and the results of a dependency on opiates, of which fetanyl and morphine are members, can be very addicting. Here is what you probably do not want to hear: get to a pain management specialist, you may be a candidate for other medications, which are not as inclined to create a dependency, which you are obviously concerned about. You also might talk to your GI doc regarding the possibility of surgically removing the painful parts of the intestines, even though this would require you to have a'ostomy'bag, it might be preferable to the pain medications you are currently taking...good luck, find an MD who will listen to your concerns and treat you like a human being, not a chart name...good luck.

First you do not state why you were prescribed the drugs in question? I assume you have or had a helth problem, what you do not say. Likewise you want or went cold turkey, never a good idea? You need to come off slowley and that means missing one day of the drugs one week and then two days the following week and so on. I am on Fentanyl for 2 years and will not be coming off for at least another 10-12 years. As for MD making me a drug addict, I disagree! I was prescribed after a MRI and my quality of life has improved and I hope will continue for the next 10 years. Best of Luck
