So why can't you just use it as prescribed to get a nice 3 day buss off of it?
If you feel you need to get the dose per/hour higher just take a warm heat press (like a microwaved ice-pack) and leave it on the patch for a short amount of time. The way that the mechanism in the patch works is that it will diffuse the medication at a more or less consistent amount per/hour while the body remains a given consistent (about 98F) and the air around it stays outside of boiling, and negative -100F. You can speed up the amount that it will diffuse by heating up the pad and the area of skin around it but be careful, you may end up releasing the entirety of the patch in a couple hours, and if you arn't reminded to pull it off, or to remove the hot-compress, you could be in trouble.
Just remember if it feels like you are having trouble breathing or your chest feels funny, slow down.
it doesn't have a brand name, it just says Fentanyl Transdermal System and that it's Rx only.
The company that manufactures the patch should be on the outside of the plastic rip-open condom-type pouches they come in. If you happen to have them with just the naked plastic backing and no protective case, you could describe them to us. I have used both types of the fentanyl patches and can help you figure out which is which.
The first differentiating factor should be whether or not the patch seems to have a "resevoir" for a clear fluid, or if it is flat as paper. The type that has the reservoir style is the easiest to abuse, and again, the more dangerous as well; because you can just make a small hole and squeeze out all the fentanyl in one go. Even most hardcore opio-philes like me tend to be very careful when fentanyl is concerned, and I have come to love being safe and taking a heat-compress to a patch that I applied normally.
mylan makes non gel ones but even the gel ones are clear. if your family wouldn't notice the difference between 4 and 6 you could take another and open it to see then share with us.
Oh that brings me back to when I realised that my old man's (6) 40mg a day stash of Oxycontin could be "salami" sliced to the point where he wouldn't know If he took more, or if I siphoned some off. That was until I started taking like 20 at a time; but this is about a happy adventure!
Edit: Ok... look between these two examples I have grabbed for you and tell us which one is closest to the patch you have.
or
These are the only two brands I have had experience with, the first one I believe is the
Sandoz brand, and the second
Mylan I am pretty certain that these two brands together represent a vast majority of the fentanyl duragesic compounds in the United States at least.
1st Image: Sandoz: This is the variety that has the fentanyl suspended in a alchohol solution in a resevoir and is seemingly the easiest to abuse, and the easiest to overestimate. Take care if you plan to use the material in the resevoir in any way other than designed.
2nd Image: Mylan: This is probably the hardest type of fentanyl system to abuse, and apart from chemically dissolving the plastic to leave the fentanyl remaining and other such outlandish activities, this patch is pretty much
only ab usable in the method I described earlier by heating up the patch diffusion area.
