There *are* forms of the Fentanyl patch that you can cut and fold, but you must be sure you have that form. It's the older style with the drug contained as a gel or liquid of some form inside the patch that you cannot cut, but there is a type where the drug is embedded into the plastic itself that you *can* cut. The "never cut the patch" rule only applies to one form of the Fentanyl patch.

That said, I believe I had very bad reactions to the Fentanyl patch, and getting off of it, even tapering down, was hell for me.

Everyone is different. But for me, I would and will avoid opioids in the future if possible.
