ok let me start like this i normaly will take 150 mg oxy daily to maintain myself ill take about20-40 mg every 1 to 2 hours and i cant get my hands on any oxys and i happend to a fentanyl patch thats 25mcg/h its says its a fentanyl transdermal system on the front its made by watson and i wanted to know how i would go about using this to receive a decent happy feeling if i should rip in in half and eat or what so any help would be aprriciated thank you
 
You should only use your Fentanyl patch as directed. The 25mcg/h means 25 micrograms per HOUR, and this dose was only intended for extended dose transdermal delivery. Taking this any other way than as directed can result in serious unwanted side effects up to and/or including death. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK YOUR TOLERANCE IS.
 
Here is the bioavailability according to its Wikipedia page.

  • 92% (transdermal)
  • 89% (intranasal)
  • 50% (buccal)
  • 33% (ingestion)
The next step is figuring out an equivalent dose to your 120mg of oxycodone, and due to incomplete cross-tolerance you would take a lower dose than the equivalent one. I don't know what that dose would be though, so wait to hear from someone that knows.
 
My brother took a 100 microgram Durgesic patch from me then opened it up and ate it. He had a very high opiate tolerance.
He begin to OD soon after. I used CPR while I waited for the EMT's who immediately gave him naloxzone.
What he an few other opiate users do not know is that for a week or so after you are given naloxzone your tolerance is returned to nearly normal opiate naive level. One week to the day he shot up 80 mg of of Oxycontin and died. Before the administration of naloxzone he could IV 3 X 80 mg Oxycontin/day and not OD.
My advice is to never consume the contents of a patch. It is the most powerful synthetic opiate.
Be aware of this nalaoxzone syndrome. No matter you tolerance it will reset it to a lower level for awhile.
 
Besides the dangers I posted above, you should know that fentenyl is not all that pleasurable. It is a good pain killer for chronic severe pain.
Personally I found it to be uncomfortable. It makes my skin crawl.
A 100 microgram patch is roughly equivalent to 2 X 100 mg of MS Contin per day except the patch is supposed to last 72 hours. YMMV but I think most people notice the differences as the days pass and feel it less.
Don't mean to sound preachy but be careful about mixing various opiates. That you have to ask is evidence enough to me that you do not understand the cross equivalent dosages of various opiates. The conversion charts are helpful but not necessarily always correct for individuals. This can be a recipe for disaster.
Keep it as simple as you can by using as few as possible different drugs. Use great caution when switching or combining while already taking a certain combination of opiate to a new one.
 
I doubt that you will attain any "happy" feelings from fentanyl, it's a very cold drug, most do not consider it to be recreational. It's a fully synthetic, extremely potent opioid narcotic, active in the microgram range, used for treatment of chronic pain and also for general anesthesia and analgesia in a hospital environment or other controlled setting where vital signs including oxygen levels in the blood are monitored to prevent fatal respiratory depression, for which fentanyl is infamous.

Do not tamper with the patch, fentanyl is not a drug do be abused. I've abused it, it's no fun, it's not worth it. I am not even the kind of person who thinks they're only good for staving off withdrawals, I think that's still abuse of the patch, any use other than for legitimate pain is abuse and is not safe by any stretch of the imagination.

Do not mix fentanyl with any CNS depressants including but not limited to alcohol, benzodiazepines, other opioids such as oxycodone, etc.

While a tolerance of 150mg oxycodone per day (equal to ~225mg morphine PO) comes out to around the equivalent of a 75mcg/hour patch, that's by no mean a green light to slap on the 25mcg/hour, it's not worth betting your life on, we are not doctors, I just used an online opioid converter.

Personally, I would rather go sick than use a fentanyl patch.

I agree that you should not abuse it because it is VERY dangerous, however I don't agree with the people saying it isn't recreational...by any means.
 
Well I personally find it to be non-recreational. Feeling overly sedated, nauseous, feverish, having trouble breathing like there's bricks on my chest...

I don't see how that can be construed as recreational, but to each their own. It's a great pain killer used properly though.
 
I highly advise against it as well. Back in college, I took one of the 25 micro ones that are supposed to last 72 hrs and took it off after two days. I then felt agonizing pain for an entire week or more. I was not new to opiates, just new to this crap. Not fun, kills all your pain, but it comes back ten fold. 8(
