You can, but you won't feel much because fentanyl is a lot stronger. The only reason you'd take it is for breakthrough pain, but realistically, it's not that strong; if the pain is breaking through what the fentanyl can't keep up with, you need Percocet or just straight Oxycodone.

∙ 14y agoIf we're speaking medically than of course you should consult your doctor.
They are both potent opioids so there is increased danger of overdose. Fentanyl in particular is extremely potent and should be handled with extreme care.
But as far as any dangerous chemical reaction between the two specifically, no. They are just two opioids, nothing else fancy going on.

∙ 14y agoAs long as your tolerance level is high enough, yes. As a long term Duragesic user, I've required MS Contin to help augment my patches and other breakthrough meds when the pain was extremely severe. MS Contin is just one variation of morphine in pill form, though morphine is less potent than Fentanyl is. The key is your overall opiate tolerance level - if you're like me and have been using high doses for years, it's not a problem. If you're relatively new to opiates, then you should start with smaller doses to see how it affects you, but your doctor will already know that assuming he/she is competent.
Word of advice - NEVER assume your doctor is competent until proven. I've nearly paid for that mistake with my life, and it's cost 10 years of my life in unnecessary pain as well.

Is Fentanyl stronger acting than morphine?
Fentanyl is the strongest opiate, and is approximately 100x stronger than morphine.
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.
What is 100 times more potent then morphine?
Fentanyl is often mentioned as having 100 times the potency of IV morphine.
Is Fentanyl more potent than morphine?
Yes - as a synthesized opiate, Fentanyl is the strongest opiate available, and is 100x stronger than morphine.
If you are allergic to Fentanyl what else can you take that will be campariable to it?
ALOT of morphine
Does Fentanyl show up in a urine test as morphine?
No, lol.
Is Fentanyl in the benzodiazepine family?
No it belongs to the family of opioids (narcotics) such as morphine. Fentanyl is commonly used with a benzo such as versed.
Does morphine show the same as Fentanyl?
Most opiate drug tests test specifically for morphine, codeine, and their metabolites. Heroin, for instance, breaks down into morphine. Fentanyl does not break down into these metabolites, therefore it is not detected in a standard opiate screen.
Can you use Fentanyl and marijuana?
Not even close; Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine. Marijuana in any form is like aspirin compared to Fentanyl.
Is 90 mg of Morphine every day a stronger dose then Fentynl Patch 25mg hr?
The Fentanyl patches by over twice the margin.120mg of oral morphine every 8 hours is equal to 360mg per day of oral morphine (24hr period). The Fentanyl patch equivalent dose (Duragesic for comparison purposes) is a single 100mcg Fentanyl patch.
How strong is Fentanyl compared to hydrocodone?
Fentanyl is 80 to 100 x more powerful than morphine. a three day dose of fentanyl is 1 to 10 mg.
Does Fentanyl contain codeine?
Noop. Although they are both in the same class, Opiate, they are very different. Codeine is roughly 1/10th the efficacy (strength) of morphine. Fentanyl is 50--100 times the efficacy (strength) of morphine. So, Fentanyl is 500--1000 times the efficacy (or strength) as codeine.
