Ok, I read the wait times on most opiates when switching to suboxone. But fentanyl to me is a confusing one. I'm going from wearing a 75mcg patch for 3 days to suboxone. Now i've seen where fentanyl is a short half life and i understand that. But i need to know since i've worn the patches the correct way. How long does it take for fent to leave the body to properly take suboxone.
I've seen where it makes the fent deposit in the skin and is still releasing medicine in the body even after you take the patch off. There is alot of stories of people switching to sub from fent and going through PW's. Now, i do not want to be one of those people. Can someone show me the info as to a timeline when fent is done deposting into your body after taking a patch off. I can not think of a worst way to go into precipitated withdraws then going from fent to sub to early.
Please please do not just say "wait till your in withdraws Or use the COWS sheet. To me that should be common knowledge. : /
If i find this info out. I can multiply that half life of the fent from the time i take it off. To the proper wait time that i feel will be in sufficent withdraws. I want to run 0 risk of PW's aswell as minimal suffering to getting back to suboxone. Thanks for any stabs at this question. And anytime you put into answering.
