Hi I am using fentanyl 100mg patch, my question is that my patch came off after 1 day, can I change it to a new one and then change it on the original day or start my 72hrs from the new patch. I have stuck a bit of tape to hold in place just now?
I have lowered my Fentanyl patch from 100 to 75 (rather than going cold turkey to come off.) I am very tired and feel 'stoned'. Is that normal?
Approx. 6-8 hours after I change my Fentanyl patch I get very itchy. Normally I take Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Is this normal? I get severely itchy. Everywhere.
