Hi,
I'm a 44 year old arthritis sufferer. Have had it for a few years now and no matter what the specialists try, it still hurts like hell when I walk.
So I have been taking a fair amount of codeine which actually helps a lot. I probably take between 300-400 milligrams of codeine every day. Every now and again when I get my hands on some oxycodone I enjoy those too, they work well.
My primary reason for these is as pain killers. Both my feet are fucked with arthritis. However I've always been a recreational drug user and I' quite enjoy the added side effects of what I take.
I have been given three 400 microgram lollipops. Given my daily codeine intake, would these lollipops likely be way, way too strong for me? I'm fairly aware the potency of fentanyl. I have done a bit of reading to make up my own mind.
But I can't find a like for like comparison between 300-400 milligrams of codeine and 400 micrograms of fentanyl, I don't know if that puts me into a very low opiate user category or a higher one, if that makes sense?
Has that amount per day given me any kind of tolerance that 400 micrograms of fentanyl would be considered fairly safe to take without dropping dead of an overdose?
