fentanyl citrate (?)

[pinesol]

swim was at a doctors office today looking through the cupboards and found a 10 pack of fentanyl cit_____? is this the good stuff we all know and love?

Yes, I believe the brand name is sublimaze. Sometimes it is mixed with an anti-psychotic. If not, you are lucky. And, do not waste this by not injecting.

Man, I gotta start looking through cabinents. Although I bet if I go to my regular doctors office they would be careful which room to put me in as my doc knows about my heroin, coke, etc. use. I've got a question though, how could they keep stuff like this (whatever it is scheduled) just in unlocked cabinents?

 

[negrogesic]

There is a cabinet at most doctors offices where they keep samples. This is usually not in the examination rooms. Sometimes their locked, sometimes their not. Who knows who pinsol got into this cabinet.....

If you have Kaiser healthcare, forget about finding any drugs in their examination rooms.
By law, doctors are also suppossed to keep all CII drugs in a locked container. Not that some doctors are lazy or disregard the law, but 9 out of 10 times there will be some sort of lock on the cabinet or fridge they're kept in.

Why is fentanyl sometimes mixed with antipsychotics?
pinesol, what's the dose of the fent? Dont overdo it.

Fentanyl is often used with droperidol, which is a neuroleptic aka an anti-psychotic. (Droperidol is not actually used as an anti-psychotic however.) Droperidol is very sedating, and has additive actions when used with fentanyl. Combining the two is known as neuroleptanalgesia. See here.
