DearDr. Panwar:
Thank you so very much for your response to my question concerning taking opiates and benzodiazepines at the same time. I did realize that the second night of shaking this week may have been caused because I was 4 hrs. overdue to replace the fentanyl patches. However, in the past I have gone as many as 12 hours overdue and did not shake/flail.
Sincerely,
xxxx XXXXXXX xxxx

Brief Answer:
4 hours overdue may not be the cause.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up.
It is less likely that primary cause of shakiness could be 4 hours overdue.Besides, other causes should be sought for, like anxiety being a common reason for the same.
Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
