Opioids Just overdosed for the first time while smoking pure fentanyl

[catching fish]

This was about one and a half hours ago.

Hadn't used any opiates for 4 days. Had two hits of pure fentanyl powder. Got overconfident and eyeballed my next dose- if I had to guess it would have been about 1 mg. Prior to smoking I put some heavy shelves in front of my door to prevent anyone barging in (fucking genius idea I know).

I woke up with my brother shaking me and yelling my name while my cleaner was on the phone to the ambulance. I can't remember taking the hit, I don't know how long I was out for but apparently I had started turning blue.

I came to not knowing what had happened but I managed to get onto the phone and cancel the ambulance. I went for a walk feeling really spaced out and slow.

Now I'm back at home with a pounding headache and feeling really nauseous and feel like I might vomit. I took a couple of Panadol (paracetamol) and am drinking a lot of ice cold water.

Just want to know if there is anything particular I should do right now? I hope I wasn't out long enough to cause brain damage because cognitively I am still really out of it. I was hoping for somebody to give me a run-down on what should be done post-overdose and what I should expect, as well as the likelihood of having caused any long-term damage.

Thanks
Thanks

Just vomited about 5 times. Mainly water (I have had about a litre of water and haven't eaten for about 6 hours)

How are you feeling today? Any better?

Again I'm glad you are still with us and not dead. (Betcha wished you had listened to all those responses on other thread that said don't do it, too easy to OD and die! : )

I'm mostly pickin on you, but you aren't going to do it again right? Not going to see if it goes a little better next time? I mean, are you convinced? I hope someone else reads your thread and takes heed.

Ok, I won't give you hard time ever again...but when you back on let everyone know you are ok and if you are doing better.

Take care and be safe

Still feel like shit (mind you this still only happened a few hours ago). Huge headache and dysphoria. This is compounded by the fact that my kid brother almost witnessed me die. I have nearly overdosed a few times before using other opiates but this is the first time I've literally gone out cold immediately and stopped breathing. Hopefully I am feeling okay for work tomorrow.

I'm glad pure fentanyl powder isn't so readily available. There are virtually no resources on using it recreationally unless it is from a patch. Hopefully people find this thread down the track.

Unfortunately, a lot of people (like myself) aren't going to be deterred by reading things like this, but if anybody reads this and takes only one thing out of it- don't ever take this substance by yourself. I would like to say don't use it at all but I think that might be asking too much from people who are hell bent on trying it.

Having a mate with you could very well be the difference between life and death.

Pure product is actually safer if you know what you are doing , very unforgiving for fools unfortunately. Please never pick up the needle.

I've never shot up anything and don't plan to. That is part of the reason I picked up some fentanyl. I was racking up nearly half gram lines of smack and not even getting high anymore. It was shitty smack but about 100 mg was getting me high 3 weeks ago at the start of my most recent binge.

Heroin blows fentanyl out of the water in every single way EXCEPT that smoking fentanyl gives a rush that can't be obtained from smoking any other opiate in my experiences.

 

[bingey]

^ that's strange never got a rush from injecting it and never had a rush smoking heroin so that's very strange. Oh wait I forgot you are a snorter don't confuse instant high with rush. Smoking gets you high quicker but rarely produces a rush you got me all icky thinking bout the feeling (speedball) so I'm outta here.

 

[shadowed]

Pure Fent? god damn! lucky to have that hook, lucky to be alive also. I've lost 2 friends to fent/benzo combos. It's scary how potent it is.

 

[Mr.Scagnattie]

A lot of BL'ers have died from OD's of Fent. It's not something to fucked around with, especially because IMO it's not even very euphoric, despite how incredibly potent the chemical is.

Anyway, I hope you seriously are reevaluating your usage and safety practices after this. It could have very easily turned out a different way..

I'm not trying to defend fentanyl after what happened to me, but smoking it produced effects that I would classify as a rush and not just 'getting high quicker'. I've smoked a fair few opiates including heroin and oxycodone and they don't have a rush in my opinion, which is why smoking fentanyl was so intriguing to me. There was a serious rush, however the high didn't last much longer than the initial rush. There was a brief afterglow and then almost nothing- it was almost like an opiate version of crack.

not to be a dick or anything, but this was quite predictable, and i recommend that you follow advice given to you here on subjects like this. opioids are things to be treated with the utmost respect if you don't want to, you know, die. i mean, i did some very stupid, self-destructive things in my life, but there's no reason you can't learn from other people's idiocy.

 

[chase_in_56ace]

I'm prescribed 175mcg of fentanyl (duragesic) and find it works good to keep my pain at a stable level as well as alleviating the need to remain constantly dependent on my oxy IR and other breakthrough meds. i like mylan patches better because they are IMO slightly more constant than the Watson patches (with the gel at the top) that drop off 48-60hrs into wearing them every time.

It seems everyone has a way to get more euphoria from these patches. I barely feel any euphoria AT ALL wearing them so why in the world I would get all the gel to one side and bust it all out and eat it later (never have done/would not recommend) is beside me. fent is extremely powerful but at the same time pails in what i feel from for example doing anything with 120mg of oxycodone. i have had two friends die from little "fentanyl experiments." take it from someone Rx'd this is not the chemical to chase a rush from. it's way too powerful and unpredictable

(funny how xxxyyy said this thread was predictable, and i agree in the sense fent will predictably kill a careless/novice opiate user playing with it)

I had some issues making sense of that post.

I'm still in the process of taking a break off all opiates. I'm hoping my tolerance drops down during the next week so I can pick up half a gram of heroin and actually catch a nice high without using I all at once.

I might even try plugging for the first time.

Its crazy how us addicts, plan on doing the same exact thing that killed us for a few seconds.. (And would have if your brother didnt smack you up)

Hi catching fish

Thanks for posting your experience. I'm very glad that you dodged a bullet. As well as being scary for the person who ODs, it's traumatic for family or friends who find you on the cusp of death. I'm sure that you feel bad for your brother having to witness that.

But it's good that you posted this, because it can't be said enough times: fentanyl is extremely dangerous.

Smoking it doesn't make it safer than consuming it orally or in any other ROA.

However, you look at it, fent is playing with fire.

Take care

 

[Morphling]

1mg of fent is a massive dose. You shouldn't be eyeballing doses of fentanyl!!

 

[missmeyet?]

Everyone told you before you did it that it was a very bad idea and you argued the point with a tiny bit of concession and then you did it anyway...in a very unsafe way....I and somebody else said several even very, very experienced members from bluelight died from fent but you paid no heed.

We are all peeps here... please correct me if I'm wrong (and I apologize if I am) but you still don't sound too convinced.
Even if you don't give a shit about yourself at least think about what it would do to your brother, your family and friends. Like I said, you makin us users look bad!

Please be careful...that's what we here for...and you are right telling your story doesn't stop someone who is determined (obviously) but at least learn from your own experience!

Take care

I don't know why you felt the need to post that a second time or why you think I haven't learnt from this experience.

Personally I couldn't give two fucks that I am 'making you look bad'. I made this thread with the hopes that somebody might choose not to do what I did because it was extremely stupid and irresponsible, and not only nearly killed me but put my brother in an awful position that was no fault of his own. If one person happens to read this and re-evaluates his decision to use fentanyl then posting this thread was worthwhile.

 

[Non Nobis Solum]

First and only overdose I've ever had was on Fentanyl and it was life threatening, if I didn't make it to the hospital to receive narcan than I'd probably be dead. I od'd on a 5 mg mylan patch.. I had done the 5mg shinny foil patches without harm but the mylan plastic was a completely different ball game.

 

[Cadamec]

Yup. It is a different ball game.

All of a sudden I am finding new articles about Fentanyl as a powder and last month I had never heard about it. One source said it was coming out of India and hitting the black market.

Can you tell us anything about this powder, it's packaging, etc..??

Very seriously, fentanyl is not to be fucked with. If you get a patch, just put on the freaking patch. If you do mange to get more out of it somehow, you could very well accidentally die. I had a couple of boxes of 50mcg patched prescribed. The third one somehow fucked my world up and I had to take it off because I was breathing real shallow and with long pauses in between. I was afraid. I don't care if the pharmacist and the doc said that was impossible, it was a Mylan patch where the drug is in the adhesive and I had used them before.

I asked firmly for my PM doc prescribe a lower dose patch and up my break though meds.
