Speaking of fentanyl, that stuff does NOTHING for me at all!!hahaha i have access to 0.5mg fentanyl vials and sometimes i add em to the morph to give a kick to the rush. it only lasts 20-30mins tops but it makes u nod like hell haha. Those vials of morphine are fucking precious though. you'd faint if i told u the price of ea hahahaha
I found this out the hard way, during a colonoscopy. They maxed my dose but it had no impact whatsoever. I was literally praying out loud and screaming. In the end the proctologist lost his temper and said "fuck it, forget about it!".
And I was made to feel like a suspect shit for being immune to such a big whack of fentanyl. But at the time I never took any opiate stronger than a little codeine.
Nonetheless, I was still prescribed fentanyl as a post-surgical pain killer (I was having vaginal wall reconstruction plus haemorrhoids removed, so very painful operation). Oh, dear ... I suffered horribly overnight ....
The next day, a pain management specialist reviewed me and said the fentanyl wasn't working because my metabolism was eliminating it super-fast. This is, apparently, "a thing".
I was changed over to a Dilaudid drip (hydromorphone? I think) and after that I was fine.
I've needed several major surgeries over the last 3 years, and it's a bit of a drag because I always have to ask for hydromohone in advance.
Anyone else resistant to fentanyl?
