Does it make you goofy ? He prescribed 25 mcg Fentanyl patch every 72 hours and said not to get it wet? Can you take it off while you bath or will it loose it's sticky. Will i be able to work. Or will i be too high. Does it really help well with pain. Hi Milly - I started using the 25 mg. Fentanyl patch almost 2 weeks ago, and so far, so good. It doesn't take away all of my pain, but certainly seems to help - plus, unlike oral meds that you take every 4 hours, this delivers a constant level of medication, avoiding "pain spikes". As far as making you high, I think you'll just have to try it and see?? I doesn't make me high, but I think I have a high tolerance, and everyone is different........don't worry about wearing it in the shower: I would aggressively "scrub" the area where the patch is, but in general, it seems to stay on just fine. Good luck to you - hope it works well for you.........

I've never had a problem with my fentanyl patch getting wet in either the shower or bath tub.
