Brief Answer: You need to consult a pain specialist. Detailed Answer: Hello. Thanks for writing again. You need to consult a pain specialist in your area. Your primary physician will refer you to one that will be most suitable for you. I do not personally know a pain specialist in New York since I am from India. It is not advisable to stop the fentanyl pain patch suddenly as that will be associated with severe pain and withdrawal symptoms. Hope my answer is helpful. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health. Regards
