l also stick with the needle. currently im using hydromorphone. but about 7 months ago, i could only get fentanyl patches. i got the 100 patches and ended up with around 15 patches. i tried everything with them, because i had so many
well, i ended up wanting to plug some eventually. i has been away from my house for almost 40 hours without any opiates so i was a little dope sick before i pluggd it. i took a peice of cotton and covered it in the gel, got as much of the gel on it as i could. it was soaked. then i inserted it as far as i could. almost immediately i felt a slight rush. my dope hungry body instantly felt warm. interesting method. very long lasting high. i stick with my hydromorphone or H though if i can.
Okay, I've read this entire thread in hopes that someone would cover Fentanyl, so I am glad you did! I am curious- I'm wondering how much gel is involved in 'as much as you could get on it' (the cotton ball). I have the 75 patches, and instead of wearing them (which I don't think provides much pain relief, due to both my tolerance and the extent of my injuries) I poke a little hole in the corner and nurse them a little throughout the day. I'd say- an amount the size of a pencil eraser at a time, which i lick off and rub onto my gums. This provides me with both adequate pain relief, and that old, familiar, warm buzz I so love with Fent.
I have wondered about the effects/possible dangers even, of plugging it, and I guess I had decided that since the bioavailability of the fent when it comes to mucous membranes is so good, that it might be dangerous to plug it- esp if you have no idea how much to try.
What I'm wondering, is when you apply the gel to the cotton ball (or butt-syringe, etc.), do you decrease the amount you would use bucally/sublingually for safety's sake- (or just functionality's sake-lol) and still get the same, or better effects this way? I've often wondered how I could stretch out my monthly script (without shooting that is - I just don't want to go down that road, as I know myself too well to think I'd be able to do it in moderation).
I get ten of the 75mcg patches a month, and they last me at MOST a week and a half with my preferred method of ingestion. I'd be willing to try it rectally if I knew how much to safely take. Is there any kind of ratio that anyone uses to determine this? I'm a bit afraid to just experiment... For example, I can and often do eat one patch per day. The 'size of a pencil eraser' description is not that accurate, lol, but does anyone know as far as tolerance goes, how much to try rectally to get that same amount of absorption?
For example, is it kind of like- If I usually take an amount the size of an eraser orally, would it be about half that rectally? I'm assuming it is much stronger rectally- that's why I ask. It seems like it would be, and I have heard that there are a lot more blood vessels that hang out in the epithelial layer of the rectum and anus, than there are in the gums/cheeks/under the tongue.
Also, I don't know if Gardenvariety will even see this, but anyone who knows, please let me know-I'd really appreciate the info. And, if you plug Fent, can you use this same syringe method that the author of this thread was talking about (with water added), or is the cotton ball thing the way that it's commonly done? If so, pardon my ignorance.
Please excuse the really long post, but I'm very curious! I procure about 120 of the 40 mg gel Oxy a month too, and typically have to eat (and I chew them up) at least 5 or 6 a day. I am willing to try plugging, as I would like to stretch my script as much as possible- my husband also likes me to 'share' them with him (of course
), and I always end up running out, which is REALLY BAD FOR SOMEONE WITH FIBROMYALGIA, MS and a WICKED OPIATE ADDICTION to do, but that's another story for another day... Thanks guys- interesting thread.
Be safe and happy my friends!
