I have a question.
Lets say someone was on 80mg Oxycodone for chronic pain and they ran out of Oxycodone but they still had boxes of 12 mcg fentanyl patches...
Now obviously the 12mcg fentanyl is far weaker then taking an 80mg Oxycodone. In fact 12 mcg fentanyl is equivalent to 24mg oxycodone which will not be effective for painfor someone who is used to taking 80mg Oxycodones but my question is if the person just sticks with the 12 mcg everyday for many months will they eventually find that with persistence and time the 12 mcg fentanyl will start to be effective for pain? and their tolerance will drop below the 80mg Oxycodone?
