Everyone's different, but in general it takes several hours (especially if you're already opiate tolerant by using OxyContin) for Fentanyl to achieve a dosage equivalent to what you're taking. You want to adjust your patch attachment time so that when your OxyContin dose is going down, the patch dose is ramping up.

Your doctor should have already told you this; keep in mind that initial patch doses are skewed toward the low end of the dosage chart for safety, so your initial dose might not cut it. Make sure you've got enough breakthrough meds available until you can get your patch dose correct.

Can you take blood pressure meds and nortripaline why on Fentanyl patch?

Nortryptiline is actually occasionally prescribed along with Fentanly patches as an augment drug (doesn't work for most people). As far as blood pressure med, you can take them, but it's best to wait until you're patch dose is adjusted to see what your BP is going to be. Fentanyl, like most opiates, tend to lower blood pressure, and taking anything additional could lower it too far.
