I have been on the 25mcg Pain Patch for 6 hours

I only have a little relief after 6 hrs. Can I still get relief? Thank you everyone for your help. I feel so alone.

Hi yobo; How do you feel this AM? You are on a low dose of Fentanyl. Give the Patch a couple of days to work. It might take you longer to get the full effect, everyones different. You are also on a low dose of Fentanyl and it might be that you need a higher dose. You have to be very careful about getting too much when your new to the Patch. You Doctor might have wanted to start you on a low dose to see how you would react.

You didn't answer my question as to what kind of dose were you on before you started the Patch. What did you take?

Give it time........

Take care, Molly
