Fentanyl Overdose

My son used Fentanyl patches for pain relief. Should I be concerned if the old patches were not taken off when the new patches were put on? It wasn't noticed for 12 hrs afterwards.

Hello, Luke! How is your son?

Has he shown any signs of possible overdose, which the U.S. FDA lists as possibly including vomiting, severe dizziness, severe drowsiness, somnolence, lowered heart rate and shallow breathing?

This is a very potent opiate, so there could still be a risk, even though the prior patch was mostly used up.
