Re: Fentanyl patch - sores and swelling

[Guest guest]

Here's what http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/fentanyl_ad.htm says about

possible skin effects for transdermal fentanyl:

Sweating (>10% reported this)

pruritus* (3-10% reported this)

rash,

application site reaction - erythema, papules, itching, edema

Looks like your reactions might fit (rash, edema?). I've never used one, so I

have no personal experience. Hope you get an answer soon.

I started on the narcotic patch 3 weeks ago. It

started out ok, but now my feet and hands are swelled

up and I have a break out on my face that is painful

and won't heal (it might if I could leave it alone)

The swelling is only in the feet and hands but very

painful as well.
