That's a tough one, and it comes down to several factors.
The bottom line is once you're at a decent tolerance level, you can drive. However, the reality is that if you're involved in an accident and you're At Fault, your opiate dependence is going to be an issue. Essentially it comes down to quality of life, and making sure that whenever you drive, you're not being affected by the drug.
Most Fentanyl patients become highly tolerant after several weeks of regular use, and after that period you really don't notice any impairment - in fact, the pain you're taking the drug for is more of a driving distraction than anything else. But again, current laws are pretty anal when it comes to pain patients - most governments and law enforcement don't like to make a distinction between opiate dependence and opiate addiction, even though there is a clear line between the two.
My point is that you can, but be sure you're cognizant enough before you do to avoid any problems.

Yes. Any fiber supplement would be ok with fentanyl.
Can you get pregnant while wearing Fentanyl patches?
As far as concerns with Fentanyl transfer to a female during conception, it's a non-issue. The only real concerns are for nursing mothers using Fentanyl themselves, since Fentanyl is excreted in breast milk. No congenital defects have ever been reported by women who were using Fentanyl during pregnancy.
Can you take Adderall with Fentanyl patches?
No. This can cause a potentially lethal overdose. Venlafaxine is a cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor which is the enzyme which metabolizes fentanyl. Levels of fentanyl can reach lethal doses as a result of this combination.
What test is used to check the level of medication in your system while using a duragesic patch?
I have been using Duragesic (fentanyl patches) for severe chronic pain caused by RSD since September 14, 2002. When my primary care doctor used a urine drug test to find out if I was really using my Duragesic patches, the test came back negative, even thoigh I really WAS using my patches. However, a blood test did show the level of fentanyl present in my blood. The funny thing is that the level of fentanyl in my blood is higher when I use my 125 mcg brand name patches from Janssen than when I use my 125 mcg generic patches from Sandoz, Mylan, and other generic manufacturers, whose names I do not remember.

How does Fioricet with Codeine interact with Fentanyl patches?
Duragesic (Fentanyl Transdermal) patches are used for Primary Chronic Pain; they last for up to 3 days depending on the patient and tolerance level. For example, I'm one of a small percentage of the population that only gets 48 hours from my patches, and that's due to my high tolerance level - I've been using them for 9 years. Percocet (Oxycodone and Tylenol) is used for Breakthrough Pain - Breakthrough Pain is that pain which the patient feels after activity causes pain being controlled by the patches to exceed the pain controlling capability of the Fentanyl. Percocet, being an Acute pain drug, is used to compensate for the temporary increase in pain. The combination of Fentanyl patches and Percocet is very common - I myself have used the combination in varying strengths and doses for a very long time. While I'm currently using the strongest doses available, at times I've had to increase my dosages and augment them with other opiates such as Demerol and MS Contin.

What is Fentanyl 25mcg per hour?
This refers to a Fentanyl Transdermal patch, which is commonly used for chronic pain patients like myself that need continuous long-term opiate therapy. It is regulated by body heat, and is extremely effective. There are several doses - 12.5, 25, 50, 75 and 100mcg patches, all of which can be used with one another to make specific dosages. For example, though my normal dose is 100mcg, I typically have to use 200mcg, so I'll use 2 100mcg patches.
