Does anyone know anything about the patch or something that is similar to it without all the risks?

The fentanyl patch is a strong pain relieving patch that is released over time, usually changed every three days. No matter what medication there is, there are always risks and side affects listed and associated. But it does not mean that you will get them. Such as if you read the side effects of tylenol, advil, etc it doesnt mean that you get them, and it isnt very often you hear of people with side effects.

I even have not seen the outcomes of Fentanyl on canine, yet I even have seen the outcomes of Fentanyl on human beings. this is a terrible drug... no longer one i could desire on every person.. in case you do no longer ought to apply the patch, and there are different thoughts, i could use them... Edit : remember in case you do end utilising the patch, you ought to attend formerly you start up up yet another soreness drugs.. a minimum of Hmm.. seventy two hours.. The Fentanyl is going into the gadget and it going to be a concern with maximum different soreness drugs till this is out of the gadget.. reducing the patch will no longer help.

YES......
DON'T use it, unless you are a burn patient or cancer patient, or if you have a terminal illness.
I was suffering terrible migraines, and my mother (who had died that same year from cancer) had left some of her patches in my bathroom from when she suffered burns in a fire.
I put on the patch, hoping it would work....I felt nothing.
I heated it up with a hair dryer so my body would absorb it.....I almost died.
I turned white as a sheet, and passed out on the bed. I almost stopped breathing completely.
My husband took me to the hospital. I don't know how I was able to walk to the car, but I got there somehow.
What I did was wrong anyway...using someone elses medication with no medical supervision. It was an awful experience.
I would think there would be a number of drugs on the market that won't kill you so quickly. What kind of pain do you have?
