Second experience with fentanyl. Known concentration of 50mcg/mL (I know that because I saw the vial with my own eyes and saw it drawn up out of the vial), administered 0.5 mL into each nare approximately 10 mins apart. Massive supply of naloxone, bag-valve mask, plenty of O2, and King Airway handy, plus a paramedic and a mechanical ventilator not far away if it really comes down to it.
Took it for a sore back after a long day of lifting fat patients on an ambulance cot. Known history of substance use means no prescribed painkillers for me. Ibuprofen and Tylenol don't touch this, neither does a heating pad. Have access to IV opioids on a rare occasion, and happened to have 3.5mL of 50mcg/mL fentanyl citrate on hand.
T+0: Placed LMA brand mucosal atomization device onto syringe, administered 0.5mL (25mcg) into right nostril at somewhat slow pace. Slight burn, nasty drip. Pupils 7mm in overhead lighting, equal and rapidly responsive to light. Took shower.
While in shower, onset of noticeable hazy feeling within 3 mins. Back had some tightness, moderate discomfort 3-4/10. Masturbated, orgasm was more difficult to obtain but more pleasurable than usual. Finished shower.
T+10: administered 0.5mL into left nostril with MAD. Noticeable miosis almost instantly. Opioid haze intensified within 3-5 minutes. Mild respiratory depression noticed, sedation noticed, increased anxiety noticed. Went into dark room and laid down on couch. High seemed to intensify.
T+30: laying on couch playing Battle Bay on my phone. Mild haze, mild pleasure. Very mild respiratory depression noted (reduced rate but increased depth). Could probably add 1-2 more 0.5mL shots (I've seen a paramedic give 200mcg of IV fentanyl after 10mg IV morphine, and I've seen a different paramedic stack 50mcg of IV fentanyl on top of 1mg IV hydromorphone in an opioid-naive patient with severe burns), but debating wisdom of doing so. Back pain is starting to return. Methinks I need to see a chiropractor instead of doing this again.
Unit 552 out.
