I could not wear the Fentanyl patch because it cause a painful red rash that actually bled if left on long enough. I talked to my doctor ASAP and he recomended the generic, Duragesic. He was reasonably certain that the problem was the adhessive. I made the switch and had no probems what so ever. It stayed on better too. Talk to the doc. Have a great day.

I had problems with the adhesive and we simply use baby powder on the outer edge of the patch and then put a transdermal patch over it. One of 2 things might be happening. You may have a patch that doesn't have enough of the meds in it (happened to me a couple of times) or the patch is releasing too much med. sweating does cause the patch to release more meds. But you can keep from sweating by using a cool pack on your neck.

Hi, can't help to much with your side effects but I know some brands stay on better than others. I tried three kinds untill i found one that stayed on and didn't give me a rash. I found the Mylan brand to be the best for me. Wish you the best, hhahn
