Can you take a fentanyal patch if you havent used opids for 3 weeks?

i have. however you may want to be careful that your tolerance didnt go down remember not to cut tear or otherwise damage it and if u should feel nausea that would be first sign to take off it will be oh 2-5 hours before u will feel the effects..they start u on a low dose and up it as ur tolerance grows...fentanyl or duragesic can be very dangerous so be sure to follow safe handeling and disposal instructions... i dont think 3 weeks is gonna hurt ya...but its always best to ask YOUR doctor or pharmacist that knows your case and what other drugs you may be on like has any drugs been added or dose upped or lowered all are questions that can mean alot,but if everything is the same well u will probably be ok
