It depends on your overall opiate tolerance level.
Doctors initially prescribe the patch based on a morphine-equivalency chart, which estimates the amount of initial patch dose of Fentanyl required based on your current daily dose of whatever opiate you're taking. The chart is skewed toward the low end though, for safety reasons, so most people notice that the first dosage might be too low. In such cases, it's important to have enough breakthrough meds to compensate until you get the dosage combination down until you're comfortable.

Will it help if you take methadone with Fentanyl patch?
Feels good if you've got the tolerance for it... But fentanyl in the right dose works WELL all by itself.
You tried the Fentanyl Patch 75mg and it made you itch like crazy so did MethMorphine why?
That's not a good sign, particularly if the itching is around the patch edges, and worse if it's the entire patch area. Itching usually indicates either an allergic reaction to the patch adhesive material, or the patch material itself. If the entire skin area under the patch is itching, you likely have an allergy to the gel or the Fentanyl itself. The other possibility is an irritant on the skin prior to patch application. This is common if you've cleaned the area with alcohol and not rinsed it well with water, or you've used some type of other skin product before putting on the patch. Shaving the area and then immediately putting it on can cause irritation as well if it's not rinsed well.
Is Fentanyl 100mcg hr patch similar to oxycotin 80 mg pill?
According to a well known conversion table on globalrph.com the conversion is 80mg oxycontin is equal to 41mcg of Fentanyl so you would need 2-80mg oxycotin-er and 1-20mg oxycotin- 2-80mg Oxycontin=82mcg of Fentanyl 1-20mg Oxycontin=20mcg of Fentanyl
What is fentinal for?
Fentanyl is a strong narcotic pain-killer used for chronic moderate to severe pain as well as acute post operative pain depending on the needs of the patient. Fentanyl is an opioid and therefore can be highly addictive. It is most commonly prescribed in the form of a patch that goes on the skin, releasing the dosage over time, but can also be given in the form of an injection by trained medical personnel.

When will you feel effects of Fentanyl transdermal system 25 mcg h?
It depends on your opiate tolerance level, but for first time users you should start feeling it around 3-6 hours after application. A number of factors affect the dosage rate as well - adhesion to the skin, body temperature (which regulates the dose), and again, your tolerance level. Doctors typically prescribe the lowest dose first, and it's important to know that the dosage equivalence table (Fentanyl-Morphine) used to determine the initial dose is purposely skewed to the lower end for safety reasons. As such, its not uncommon for first time users to not get the desired effect on the first patch dose, and it's something you need to tell your doctor about. Keep a record on how well (or not) it's affecting you so that you can show your doctor you need to increase if you need to.
What will happen if you apply Fentanyl gel from a patch to skin?
It depends on the person and the amount of gel involved. If you're extremely tolerant to Fentanyl, you won't be affected as quickly, but for most people, respiratory / cardiac arrest and death are the most common results. It's slower than Cyanide, but the end result is the same. Fentanyl patches are designed to deliver a continuous, small dose over a period of 2-3 days. By removing the gel and applying it directly to the skin, the person is bypassing the timed-release component. Most people, high dose Fentanyl users as well, aren't capable of handling that high a dose at one time.
How do you get into the tree house for the first time poptropica?
Well first of all you need to look on the ground under thr tree house for a pair of glasses. Then you go back a little ways to the hill with a light colored tree. Then you jump on the leaves because you can stand on them. Jump onto the patch of leaves above the first patch (which are the first patch you jump on) then get a running headstart and jump at the tree house. If you are careful you will land on the tree house safely.
Why wont the Fentanyl transdermal system patch stay on?
Skin oils comdined with dry skin can affect the stickyness. You MUST wash the area but be sure to rinse both soap residue and dry well before applying. I also suggest buying a TEGADERM skin patch and slice it in half then attach both halves to each other end of your patch - this will eliminate falloff over the 2-3 days you wear it.
A person that takes blood pressure medicine and thyroid medicine be given Fentanyl?
Well first of all, you should know that anyone on here probably will answer this question after me...but the one thing to remember is CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE ANYTHING!!! Blood Pressure Medication is often reffered to as anti-hypertensives. Fentanyl is a medication that relates to Morphine. In relation, Fentanyl is a reliever for chronic and progressive breakthrough pain. However, Fentanyl is classifed as a Schedule II Drug in the U.S. because it has been abused so many times.
Is morphine in fentanyl?
No, Percocet is not oxymorphone. Oxymorphone is a combination of oxycodone and morphine. Percocet is just oxycodone, except for 5's and 10's they also have acetaminophen in them.
How much Fentanyl equals morphine?
Fentanyl is about 80-100 times stronger than intravenous morphine. : fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. The wording is extremely important. 100mcg/hr of fentanyl is a patch and before you can compare it to morphine you have to convert it to the same dosage. 100mcg/hr of fentanyl is about a daily dose of 2.4 mg of fentanyl. The conversion then becomes 2.4 mg of fentanyl = 200 mg of morphine. You can't compare two different measurement sizes when doing this type of math and just apply the math directly to the differing measurements, this is grade school math. They have to both be mg or both be mcg before you apply the math. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than all types of morphine not just intravenous. Fentanyl is more potent than Hydromorphone/Dilaudid which is only 5 to 8 times more potent than morphine. Fentanyl is the most potent legal pain medication on the market. If you are thinking of taking this drug or already taking it do not go by the math of the user before my name or any user here. Please consult a doctor to find out if you need narcotics and if Fentanyl is right for you. I have been on it three years and I have been trying to find a way to get away from it. Think about it though if you or others attempt to use the horrible math done by the previous user than you could have suffered withdrawal if you already take narcotics or god forbid overdosed somehow. It is the doctors job to help you decide your dose with your input on what works. I have just talked to my pharmacist at the VA in MPLS, MN about changing my 75 mcg patch to long term oral morphine. My patch says it has 12.6 mgs of Fentanyl in it which is 4.2 mgs per day. She told me that the equivalent to morphine would be 160 mgs - which proves your answer correct since 200 times .75 equals 160. I am not sure how you came up with your answer though so I personally do not know how the answer is derived at. I started with 75mgs of methadone per day but they took me off because of a low heart rate. I have always had a low heart rate and the methadone worked well for my pain and the patch did not - so that now brings me to trying the morphine. I cannot see how it will be different. Thank you for your answer. Since my doc seems angry with me because I augmented my patch with some leftover methadone once, I just wanted to verify the equivalency with someone else.
