How much of Fentanyl should you take?
It all depends on the delivery method. The dosing for a patch is different than oral lozenges or an oral pill. My advise is use as prescribed by your doctor. If you are not prescribed it you shouldn't be taking it.
Which narcotics are stronger than 100mg Fentanyl patches?
Fentanyl is roughly 80-100x stronger than morphine. It is often used with benzos for surgeries. It is only prescribed for home use for those who are opiate tolerant, in otherwords, those who have been taking high doses of opiates for long periods of time, due to moderate to severe chronic pain. Use by those who are not opiate tolerant is extremely dangerous, and many people have died from abusing Fentanyl, just like any drug. Fentanyl is very safe for those who use it as prescribed and for a valid purpose, but is definitely not something that should be used by someone to, 'get high'. Abuse happens with this narcotic, just like with any other drug, but the likelihood of addiction is small for those using it as prescribed.

Can hydromorphone be prescribed along with 37mcg Fentanyl patches for breakthrough pain?
It can, but generally doctors prefer to prescribe Percocet or plain Oxycodone rather than Dilaudid (hydromorphone), unless the patient has problems with morphine intolerance (both Dilaudid and Fentanyl are synthetic opiates).
Is it safe to apply a Fentanyl Transdermal System while taking Hydrocodone 10mg?

What medicine is prescribed along with Fentanyl patches for breakthrough pain?
Almost all over-the-counter pain medications can be taken with fentanyl. Example: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Advil, Naproxen, and Aspirin all have no interactions with fentanyl. On a side note, fentanyle should never be taken in combination with any MAO Inhibitors.
Is Oxycontin the same drug as Fentanyl?
You can, but it's typically not recommended since both drugs are chronic pain medications generally prescribed in their timed-release form. Either one or the other is used - OxyContin lasts up to 12 hours, while Fentanyl, generally prescribed as a transdermal patch, can last up to 72 hours. Oral Fentanyl and OxyContin can used, but again it's generally not done unless the Fentanyl is in pill form and short acting. Fentanyl is more likely to be prescribed as the primary chronic pain med with Percocet (which has Oxycodone, the base drug for OxyContin, the time release version) for breakthrough pain. As long as you're using one as a timed-release drug and the other in short acting form (4-6 hours), it's okay. It's using both together in timed-release versions where problems can arise. It is perfectly ok to use both, contrary to above. I suffer from chronic pain, and take 20mg Oxycontin 2 times a day, and apply a 75mcg fentanyl patch every 72 hours. I have been on each seperatly and I find several pain "holes". but on both, I can actually function to 95% of my original capabilities. Actually the above poster is correct. I take 240mg of Oxycontin a day and my dr prescribed 100umg fentanyl to better even out the levels of narcotics I had in my system. Now this just happened to be what worked for me so you should ask your doctor before trying. Fentanyl is some bad mojo if abused.
