Fentanyl 12
(Newest replies first)
Updated
Ive recently being prescribed fentanyl patches to try out by my GP, the idea is to replace the ammount of tablets that i take each day. I'm worried as to when to start them as I am working solid over the next 7 days then i get two days off ? also I attend a pilates class to help with my spondalitis. As there is a spa there i take a turn in the jacuzzi which seems to help.Can i take off the patch for an hour ok ??

Ive been on the patches for 9 yrs. You can't remove a patch and reapply it.
Hi Jimbob,
I haven't been able to find an exact answer to your question, but I did want to help by refering you to other threads on here with individuals who are also using the fentanyl patch:
This thread may not be quite as active, but people there offer some interesting information on fentanyl: /Discuss/FENTANYL-PATCH-178334.htm
This thread is still very active & has over 120 replies:
Discuss/FENTANYL-50-MCG-HOUR-TRANSDERMAL-PATCH-174968_p7.htm
You may be able to reach out to more people who are in a similar situation by re-posting in either of those threads.
I hope this helps in any way!
