Fentanyl patch: The fentanyl in the patch should start it effect very soon after application of the patch. Within minutes. The onset if affected by your skin type and any chemicals on your skin before applying the patch. Make sure you follow directions on its use and if the dose is insufficient for you your doctor may need to increase the dose. Good luck.
