So I know that fentanyl isn't for recreational use, but i'm using it for actual pain. I have muscle spasms in my neck that I take soma for 3 times daily at 350mg, 2 pinched nerves, muscle damage, brain damage (the lower part of my left temporal lobe, and possibly other parts as well, which leads to memory problems that i also have to deal with), and 3 bulging discs. All from a moped accident a few years back when I hit a tree flying off the moped at around 40mph... upper neck first.
So, I also take around 3-4 hydro 7.5/325 mg each day, 2 of which are prescribed, the other 1-2 which are bought. Before the accident I was a heavy opiate user, maxing out at around 320mg oxy on my worst days, and alternating with smack. After the accident, I realized I lacked the self control to use my meds properly, but was in too much pain to not take them. So I quit.
However, 9 days ago, after a breakup (we were together for a year and a half), I took more than I had, around 15 per day for 2 or 3 days, and now I'm out, and will be for around 2 weeks. It had been 2 days (5 days ago) since i'd been out and, still being 22 and in college, I called up my mother who takes 4 350mg soma and 4 10mg oxy a day and explained everything that had happened, we're very close. She said she was put on a fentanyl patch at the beginning of this month and that she'd mail 2 or 3 up here.
I have no idea which brand they are, what strength they are, or how they work but i can't take this pain anymore. Even with what i was taking before i'd still have to lie down in pain almost daily and was still in pain every day. Regardless, I'm going to take them by putting them on, and i'm not looking for a high - I'm looking for actual pain relief, and maybe to make up the sleep i've missed because i've been in too much pain to sleep.
So basically, I have a few questions.
1. What are the differences between brands, I understand there may be a time difference in the release, as some are matrix based, and others are gel based, but is that it? and which is which?
2. I probably shouldn't take the rest of my 20 soma today, should I? lol, I plan to take the last one the second i put my patch on, and to not take any more afterwards, I don't need any potentiating getting in the way, soma and opiates tend to give me worsened respitory depression than the equivalent pain relief (or high, i'm not perfect guys, haha) than either alone.
3. How should I take them? as in, do i take a single patch and cut it up (i'm guessing I don't want the whole thing)
4. In what dose do I cut them up if i do? say i get a 50 milligram 72 hour one, that gives me ~.7 milligrams / hr. what sort of milligrams/hr or micrograms/hr should i start with? Assuming I'm back to a very low tolerance as I haven't had anything for 5 days.
5. I'm getting them in the mail this afternoon around 2, but won't be able to pick them up from my apartment until around 5 or 6. Should i even start to take it then, given that it'll take so long to kick in?
6. What have your experiences been with fentanyl absorbed through the skin, FROM the patch (no mouth nonsense here please)
And lastly, I will take them, regardless of what you tell me I should or shouldn't do, so posting information that can be helpful or informative will really only just help me stay safe, so don't feel bad. xD I'm posting here just so that I can be as safe as possible and protect my life.
Thank you so much in advanced. I'd like you guys to all know how much I appreciate any response at all that is even mildly on topic or constructive.
EDIT: i forgot to mention that I'm allergic to demoral
