Opioids Fentanyl Overdoses - So common.. how to prevent?

[jaystyle]

I have a very large tolerance... not as big as some out there, but can do 200mg oc in a day + some morph. Im pretty sure my tolerance is high enough to prevent fentanyl from doing me in if I am safe with it.

So a dime size of gel in the gums may be considered a safe starting point we could say? If I want more, add more but start with that? MIght try smoking a small amount too.

if your gonna start smoking it I would do WAY less than a dime size... I have heard of people ODing off of a rain drop of fentanyl.. start extremely small, wait a while and then redose and document effect

personally I can do a fair bit of it... but thats only because ive been on about 250mg of OC twice a day for 2 years lol

Well not to rain on your parade but a 200mg a day oxy tolerance is probably not going to prevent you from ODing, but it does warrent you being able to use fentanyl.

I would start with a match head size, the smallest possible glob, then just work up from there until you get high.

A pinhead sized glob of gel could contain 5mcg or 5mg of fentanyl, and the gel is notorious for containing uneven distributions, hence all the smoked fent ODs. With smoking gel there is no way to prevent an OD or accurately dose.

Remember to give the fent time to kick in...people I know who OD dose more because they "can't feel it" and end up dead or damn close. I ODed myself two years ago, along with a friend, we shot H cut with fent...my friend with a 4-5 bag a day habit did one bag and died. Please be extra careful.

ya as oxymorph said the problem with fent even if you start small is the unknown variable of how much fent. is actually concentrated in that tiny blob of goo ya put on the foil or in your mouth. as ya can see from the responses fent. is very dangerous and unpredictable and even if your careful and take precautions there are still a high level of risk involved. Myself personally, i would take your money your about to spend on fent. and buy sum of your regular old oxys because the fent. high imo isnt worth it. if you wanna try some other opiate for a lil different high, try oxymorphone (opana) or hydromorphone (dilaudin) that is if you havent already. my fav bein oxymorphone

also....smoking fent isnt a great idea and the duration of the high is extreemmmeely short lived, like 5-10 minutes in my experience

great point.

Fentanyl is probably the worst idea anyone can make. Around here it's earned the nickname "the devils D.O.C". I know several smack users that won't touch fentanyl. Transdermal, buccal, smoked or otherwise. The amount of risk taken, especially with smoking it, is astronaumical. It causes extreme cases of the nods, you know, the kind that the sensation of your head falling forward WON'T wake you up from and provides very little euphoria. It's just complete sedation. About the equivilent of eating a miligram of triazolam, maybe worse.

And whoever said to cut the strips up and stick them on your gums till you "feel it" is spreading dangerous information, almost as bad as "JUST SQUIRT SOME ON THERE, SMOKE IT AND WAIT!". ^ That right there is OD in a box.

Thanks all you guys for the advice on Fent. You've convinced me to not fuck with the fent, and if i do use it, the most I will do is put it on my skin like intended and maybe add small amounts of heat but not much and not for long. I may just skip it all together, by the sound of it it's far too dangerous and unpredictable.

Thanks again for the advice, and for possibly preventing me from doing some stupid and irreversible.

If for a small price I can get a 72 hour patch that will keep me WD free and happy for 72 hour, skin patch might be cool thing anyway... even if I have to dose a little OC to hit my level, but not as much as I would without the patch.

Anyone have a comment on how fent is for withdrawals? For instance, I notice morphine gives long relief from WD for me... a night that i do morph, I wake up WD free until middday. A night after OXY, I wake up and cant wait to get out of bed to dose and feel better.

can rubbing fentanyl gel on your skin kill you

Thereticly, if you have a tolerance to fent. I use 50mcg. buccally up to 200mcg per day. Can you OD or can you even get high by rubbing fent. gel from a 100mcg. patch on your skin, a get the effect of 10mg. with the bioavailbility of 94% or the same bioavailbility as transdermal usage?

 

[memorytremory]

i've used fentanyl exactly one time, and as also one of my first opiate experiences, it was not that great. i mean, i ate the gel from a 25mcg and remember bits and pieces of the night after that. i remember my friend yelling at me and coming to consciousness long enough to suck in some air. serious respitory issues, yall.
