If you have not been on oral opiates first..and rather high
doses, adjusting to fentanyl is very difficult.

Also some people have a problem metabolizing this drug.
Typically it can take 3-4 days to get up to speed with its blood level.

Do not apply heat or sun exposure to the patch..the drug will
be absorbed more quickly then.

There is a 12.5mcg size...perhaps that would be best to start with.

There are patients who experience dysphoria on narcotics.
If you are one of those, you may not do well with this drug.
