Are Breathlessness And Exhaustion Side Effects Of Fentanyl?
Periods of feeling like I can not get enough air, exhaustion, slight weird feeling under left breast and beside breast. I took Fentanyl for 4 weeks after laminectomy and fusion and still had severe sciatic pain. Two weeks of weaning off that because of these symptoms. I have been off it for about a month.
