Can I go Cold turkey off Fentanyl 50mcg patches every 72 hours

I have my medical marijuana now, and want off the fenanyl ASAP.  Could it cause a heart attack if I go CT. I hate this drug and will never go back on it again.

I agree 100% with vicki here; Fentanyl patches are very strong...you should only come off them under medical supervision.

Does your doctor know about the medical marijuana?

Hi and Welcome- No one is going to be able to predict how it will go for you if you detox cold turkey. Given your stroke history and the fact that you have a cardiac arrhythmia, I don't think it would be prudent.
Why don't you speak with your doctor who can offer you some options?
