I WAS GIVEN AN EXPIRED FENTYNL PATCH. I HAVE A SEVERE REACTION AND ALMOST DIED. I VOMITED ALL DAY, STARTED ITCHING, MY ROOM WAS SPINNING AROUND. I VOMITED FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT EAT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I DO HAVE A LOT OF ALLERGIE. THERE NEEDS TO BE BETTER REGULATION ON FENTYNL. I'VE BEEN TOLD I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN GIVEN A DRUG THAT STRONG; IT IS USED TO PUT PATIENTS UNDER FOR SURGERY. THIS WAS A VERY SEVERE REACTION.
MY HUSBAND THOUGHT I WAS DEAD WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK. I TOOK THE PATCH OFF AND FLUSHED IT DOWN THE TOILET PER DRUG COMPANY INSERT INSTRUCTIONS.
I'M NOT SURE IF I HAD A TRUE REACTION OR IF IT WAS BECAUSE HE PATCH WAS EXPIRED AND BECAME TOXIC.
I WAS TRYING TO GET IN TO A PAIN STUDY AND I WAS DESPARATE TO ALLEVIATE MY FIBROMYALGIA PAIN AND HAD TO BE ON THE PATCH FOR THREE DAYS TO QUALIFY FOR THE STUDY. I WILL NEVER BE A GUINEA PIG AGAIN.
