Fentanyl addiction can be difficult to identify. If you’re concerned you or a loved one is struggling with fentanyl contact us for help today.
If you develop a case of fentanyl dependence or addiction, cessation of your medication intake will lead to the onset of opioid withdrawal symptoms. You can also develop these symptoms if you make a swift, steep decrease in your fentanyl consumption. Opioid withdrawal1 is a process with two distinct phases. In the first of these phases, you will experience issues such as uncontrollable yawning, an increase in your tear and mucus production, achy muscles, an increase in your sweat production, sleeplessness and an anxious or agitated mental state. Classic symptoms of phase two opioid withdrawal include:
In people not also affected by other substance problems, fentanyl withdrawal may not lead to serious or severe health issues. However, you should still avoid quitting the medication on your own for several significant reasons. First, even in the absence of life-threatening complications, you may find yourself unable to tolerate the mental and physical changes triggered by withdrawal. To avoid these changes, you may return to active misuse of the medication, despite your desire to achieve abstinence.
If you manage to quit fentanyl “cold turkey,” your risks for problems don’t end. Without professional help, your chances of an eventual relapse rise by a substantial amount. And if you relapse back into consumption of a powerful opioid like fentanyl, you face a serious chance of accidentally taking too much of the medication and overdosing.
