No - anything that insulates the patch can cause body heat to increase in the patch area, which will increase the dosage delivery rate of the patch. If you don't have a really high opiate tolerance above what your normal dosage is, an overdose is a real possibility. Even for someone with a high opiate tolerance, it's not fun - delirium/confusion is the usual result, and it's extremely disorienting, even when you know what's happening. The only way to deal with it is to remove the patch and get yourself cooled off to lower body temperature.

Just don't fold the patch - you CAN re-apply it if the edges are intact.

If you're having problems keeping it on, check out my answer on ways to keep it on at the related question link below (How do you keep Fentanyl patches applied?). There are many other ways to keep it stuck to your body.
