It depends totally on how long you've been using patches, but if it's even a couple of months, I wouldn't recommend it. You might make it few days, but trust me when I say it's not easy, even for someone like me who had experience increasing and decreasing my dosages several times over many years.
If you want to do it, you really need to have some type of acute meds around, though if not, you can get away with Naproxen, Tylenol (extra strength rapid release gel tabs) and Aspirin. Plan to try and sedate yourself, and have someone around to help you through it. Ask you doctor for some anti-anxiety meds to ease the shaking, and keep plenty of water/fluids around, as you'll be sweating like you won't believe. Keep some clean bedding and dry clothes around too.
It's easier if you've got Percocet (just drop the dosage in increments until you're off the patches - Percocet's easy after that). Doing it without a an opiate to help is extremely difficult, even when you're prepared and can sedate yourself.

Has anyone ever overdosed from shooting up the gel from a Fentanyl patch?
Yes, plenty of people have overdosed and even died from shooting up Fentanyl patches, both the gel containing patches and gel-less patches. The amount of Fentanyl in patches contains several days worth of Fentanyl, depending on the strength of the patch and a persons tolerance the total amount of Fentanyl can kill even the most tolerant of people several times over. Proceed with extreme caution when venturing into the IV injecting of Fentanyl patches!

How long does a 100 mcg Fentanyl patch last?
It depends on the person and how long patches have been used, but in general you'll start feeling withdrawals around 6-8 hours after the patch dose expires. It takes another few days before it's really out of your system. If you've been using Fentanyl for a long time, it'll take days or weeks depending on how much and how long.

Is it possible for fentanayl to still be in your system nineteen days after surgery?
Absolutely not, unless you are using a Fentanyl patch, such as Duragesic or another brand name for the opiod-based transdermal pain delivery system , in which case, the Fentanyl will remain in your system, as provided by the patch, until about three to five days after you remove the last patch. There is no way for a urine drug test to determine whether the Fentanyl (opiod narcotic) it is detecting is that which was used to relieve your pain in surgery (or what was given to you by the anesthesiologist while you were asleep) or that which is entering your system now from the pain patch, except to say that at nineteen days "post op" nothing given to you in the operating room will still be in your system, so it would have to be something like a pain patch, unless perhaps you were given an injection of Fentanyl into your spinal area, such as an intrathecal injection, meant to linger there in that area and absorb over a period of many days and provide longer term pain relief, but you would certainly have been told and have had to approve a procedure of that sort and would therefore be aware that it was given to you prior to leaving the hospital/surgi-center as a longer-term pain reliever. In that case, a test would identify the Fentanyl in your system at likely many days (not sure how many, it would depend on the dosage and how long the medication was intended to linger there). Hope that helps out.
How long can you leave a 100 mcg patch on?
A 100 mcg patch, typically referring to a fentanyl patch, is usually designed to be worn continuously for 72 hours (3 days) before needing to be replaced. It's important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the product label. Leaving the patch on longer than recommended can lead to an overdose or other serious side effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have questions about usage.
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.
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.
Is it necessary for two nurses to be present for the removal and destruction of a duragesic patch?

If i take off my 25mcg Fentanyl patch 36 hours before the urine test will it still show up in the urine test that i take tomorrow?
Yes, it is possible that the Fentanyl from your 25mcg patch could still be detectable in your urine even after 36 hours. Fentanyl can remain in the body for a period of time, and its metabolites may be present in urine tests for several days after use, depending on various factors such as metabolism and frequency of use. For a definitive answer, it's best to consult a medical professional or a toxicology expert.
