Is it safe to take vicodine after removing a Fentanyl patch?

Vicodin, like Percocet, is prescribed for patch users as a pain breakthrough drug. Normally, you'd take it in instances where increased activity has increased your pain level beyond the patch's control point (breakthrough) and you need something short term to handle the pain. You can also use it if you've waited a bit too long to change out your patch to a new one. It usually takes a while for a new patch dose to ramp up to where you're feeling the effects, so in those cases, you can use Vicodin to bridge the withdrawals until the Fentanyl takes effect.
