Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Dear Knowledgeable Friends: I've been wearing this patch (off and on, pardon the pun) for a little over a week now. I took it off at the end of the first 3 days with this horrible red itchy rash, so left it off for 1 day. I developed a high fever which lasted about 3 days, so according to directions, couldn't use the patch while I had the fever. When the fever went away, I put the patch back on. Took it off last night at the end of my 3 days, intending to put a new one on this morning after my shower, but now have another fever!! I had thought the fever was one of the Dercum fevers that I get occasionally, but now I don't know. I've tried doing research on Duragesic/fentanyl to see if that is a reaction to taking the patch off, and the pharmacist doesn't know. The pain doc. who prescribed it is away at a pain management conference for a week. Do you wise wonderful people know?
