Can you cut a 50 mg transdermal Fentanyl in half and wear half?

NEVER CUT A FENTANYL PAIN PATCH, the dose becomes totally unstable. It will leach out into the skin and your clothing. It remains active to various degrees and times. If you put on that piece of clothing and a new pain patch it can lead to respiratory failure and death. I know this first hand from the death of my dear son, 39 yrs. old, husband and a father to our 3 1/2 yrs. old grandson. PLEASE consult with your doctor at all times and make sure you understand what your doctor or the literature from the pharmacy has stated. It doesn't matter what you read on the Internet, PLEASE check with the live professionals. My son thought "cutting back the dose" meant he could cut the patch. Unfortunately he is not here today to tell you himself. DON'T CUT IT! Which much love and pain, his Mom.
