Opiate Withdrawal
"Marin County CA....
You described my night. I don&#039;t abuse my meds and take as prescribed. I use the fentynal patches. I put my last patch on for the month and it fell off unbeknownst to me. By the time I realized I was in withdrawal. Went to the ER as my pain Dr said and they refused to help. My pain Dr gives me 2 months of prescriptions because  I&#039;ve been seeing him since 2012. So to the ER thought I had the jacked up patch, my box showing when the Rx was filled along with my Rx request for my patch to be filled in 2 days. They would not do ANYTHING for me. It&#039;s frustrating. I called my Dr back and they called in the catapres. I&#039;m hoping, like you, it helps. I just wish that ppl like us would get some compassion. I&#039;m 43 and have NEVER used illegal drugs."
