Taking Hydrocodone/acetaminophen After 25mcg Fentanyl Patch (Top voted first)

Can I still take hydrocod/acetam 7.5-325 mg if I put on a 25mcg fentanyl patch 2 hrs ago? I'm still in horrible pain from ruptured disk on a nerve.

Hi Katie, sorry to hear about your pain. No, you should not take a medication containing Hydrocodone or any other opioids with your Fentanyl patch, as they could result in an overdose. What could end up happening is severe central nervous system (CNS) depression which could result in difficulty breathing, coma, or worse. Best wishes with your pain management. Please let your doctor know if the 25mcg patch is not helping enough.

That would depend on your opiod tolerance.... I used to be on 75mcg Fyn patch & was also on 6-10/325 hydrocodone a day b4 the gov issues. I had no problems with them BUT I was on an ever increasing climb from 5/325 @ 5 a day in 2000 then increased to the mentioned dose & it was actually working I was losing weight & do n stuff .... & then the a-wipes cut my meds & I gained all the weight back & became more sedentary again because it again hurt to do anything & everything & the pain MISMANAGEMENT PEOPLE would rather I suffer than put a page in my chart explaining why I was on such a high opiod dose

So take it as you will maybe instead of doing a whole 10/325 take a half first & see how that effects you ... I doubt they would give e them too you if you could not take them

It depends. Were you prescribed the hydrocodone for breakthrough pain? With the laws and policies on narcotics being what they are, I’d recommend checking with your doc, first (if it was not prescribed).
