There is a greater risk that you will overuse fentanyl patches if you have or have ever had any of these conditions. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family drinks or has ever drunk large amounts of alcohol, uses or has ever used street drugs, or has overused prescription medications, or has had an overdose, or if you have or have ever had depression or another mental illness. While using fentanyl patches, discuss with your health care provider your pain treatment goals, length of treatment, and other ways to manage your pain. Do not apply more patches, apply the patches more often, or use the patches in a different way than prescribed by your doctor. Use the fentanyl patch exactly as directed. Fentanyl patches may be habit forming, especially with prolonged use.
