Most everyone here did not enter your thread with 45 pt. font and giant lettering- that was edited down by a moderator- exclaiming the virtues of opiate addiction. I'm surprised the MOD edited down your font as opposed to closing this less than useless thread.
I could careless what you think about fentanyl. I had pure fent hcl that i through out. It Sucks!!! If you wanna extol an opiate, why not hydromorphone. Better yet how bout none at all.

If there is a pill that does cure depression after a few uses and then can be stopped without the symptoms returning I would love to hear about it.

looking for a chemical to change a lifestyle is the among most fruitless ways to waste your life. And it comes from a complete lack of understanding of drugs. A drug is simply a single chemical that can modify a single or many biological processes due to the shape of the molecule and it's interaction with such biological processes. As Sam Harris said, drugs are "extremely blunt instruments", particularly for psychological illness. To find a drug that cures depression is like looking for a wooden club that can screw in a Phillips-head.
I am new to this forum, signed up months ago, and that's when I read the rules, so I hope that one day you can find it in your heard to forgive my memory as it's not fully photographic.
5 mg of hydrocodone is how I got started. Turned into a full blown heroin addiction over the course of 10 years.
That's how everyone got started their addiction, whether it be cigarettes, alcahol, cocaine, benzos, queludes, opioids, etc. That doesn't prevent addictive drugs from being prescribed for genuine mental and health problems; by this already accepted reasoning, why shouldn't micro-doses of fentanyl be prescribed for depression if it works? We as a society have determined that the rick is worth the reward when it comes to pain, insomnia, or anxiety vs. addiction potential. Hydrocodone is one of the most proscribed drugs in the USA, oxycodone in most others, so just because it's potentially addictive and has abuse potential is no reason to rule it out as a treatment. If we lived life by that logic, we'd need police authorization to buy "sniffable" paint thinner8). At one point a few years back, I remember seeing on the news that high school kids were throwing "pharming parties" where each one would bring a bottle of their own or a relative's drugs, everything from ambien to zyrtec, throw 'em all in a bowl and swallow a handful with a glass of beer. Point is, nothing is without abuse potential, granted some things are more abusable than others.
Also, think about this, if someone was prescribed 10μg 3x per day in a one month supply at a time, they only have 900μg fentanyl citrate per month avaible to be abused, which would only make for the equivalent of IV 45mg morphine assuming that the patient doesn't iv the stuff, if they IV it instead, they would have roughly 65mg IV morphine equivalent. That's roughly the same morphine equivalent as an average hydrocodone script, but the half life is 1/4th that of the hydrocodone's.
One more thing, everyone here seems to think that this is such a bad idea just because it contains the "F Word" of drugs, yet so many people are on the bandwagon for lsd microdosing. In reality, for either one of those, if you stick to the planned regimen, than nothing bad will happen, but when you abuse it, all goes to hell.
