That would be something for your doctor to decide. Apparently you've built up quite a tolerance to opioid pain relievers (that's alot of Fentanyl!). Other pain patients should realize that putting this many patches on - if you have not built up a tolerance to these drugs - could be quite dangerous (don't try this at home).

I suggest that you contact your doctor to see what alternatives are possible - given that it takes so much of this powerful pain reliever to get relief. Good luck!
