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.

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
Is morphine and Fentanyl show up in a drug test as the same drug?
Yes, they will both show up as opiates.
Do you get a buzz or get high from the Fentanyl patch like you do when you take Oxycontin?
Not after the first couple of weeks when you get used to the dose. Unlike OxyContin, patch doses are much more steady, and there's no steep dropoff in dosage level like there is with OxyContin as the drug wears off. Essentially, you feel pretty normal, just no pain.
What opiate drug is the best morphine or oxycontin's?

Do patients wear a Fentanyl patch plus take Oxycontin daily?
In general, no. This is because OxyContin is itself a timed-release opiate, and many patients who move up to Fentanyl patches have already been using OxyContin for some time and have become more tolerant to it. Fentanyl patch patients will typically use oral Oxycodone (usually Percocet) for a breakthrough medication.

How much of ocycontin is compaired to fetinyl?
OxyContin (oxycodone) and fentanyl are both powerful opioid medications, but they differ significantly in potency. Fentanyl is estimated to be about 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, while OxyContin is about 1.5 times more potent than morphine. In practical terms, this means that a very small amount of fentanyl can provide the same analgesic effect as a much larger dose of OxyContin. However, the exact comparison can vary based on individual patient factors and specific formulations used.
How long does it take for two 50mcg Fentanyl patches to completely end the withdrawal symptoms for someone who is at the onset of Oxycontin withdrawal I've taken 320-400mgs of Oxycontin daily for the?
Fentanyl patches take quite along time to kick in because the drug has to move through your skin and into the bloodstream first. Its possible that 100 mcg/hr of transdermal fentanyl may not be enough to stop withdrawl for someone on 320mg oxycodone per day. There are various ways to speed up the release of the fentanyl / get it into your body quicker, but these can easily kill you (due to an overdose).
Other names for Fentanyl?
Fentanyl is the generic name of the drug. One brand name for fentanyl is Duragesic.
