Brief Answer:
You may need to consult a pain specialist

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Are you taking any other drugs, vitamins or herbal supplement?
Fentanyl can interact with different substances which can lower the effects of fentanyl.
I would recommend you to check the patch if it is properly attached to skin. Is it placed over damaged skin or over cicatrix.
I think you should consult a pain management specialist.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
