Alright. I've searches and searched and can't find an answer that fits....

First a bit of background. I am very experienced with opiates. I was up to a point where I was taking around 90 to 120mg of oxy a day. after about a month of this, I couldn't stand the WDs when my dope ran dry. At this point I found somebody with Subs to detox. Now recently I occaisipnally run across norco 10/325s which i usually end up binging on with no WDs when they run out. However I noticed that 1) I don't get high. At all. I feel better mentally but that's probably due to depression which is mild at worst. However recently I have been getting full on withdrawals like I was eating OC by the handful from Vic 5s.

Now my question is this: can I safely use a fent 25 patch and at least get some releif from WDs? It's all I can find right now until I get some subs.

And a sub question: does opiate tolerance last for months, years, what? Should I expect WDs after any opiate use no matter how much I abstain?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for any typos but am typing from my phone.

i don't know if a 25mcg patch will really help with withdrawls, but put it on and try! I wear 125mcg and don't wake up sick, just sore, it won't hurt you I don't think so don't really worry about that, if you have a tolerance you should be ok with 25mcg. Just so you know, its gonna take a while to kick in, i would put it on and take a nap, you'll know if it helps when you wake up (just don't sleep a real long time cause fentanyl is supposedly a killer and if you haven't tried one before, you need to know how it will affect you before you sleep) but sleep RIGHT after you put it on and when you wake up you should be ok


also I get wds no matter how long i abstain but i can't ever abstain too long
 
Well I think it would be a huge mistake. Fentanyl is a bitch ass powerful opiate, leagues above the stuff your messing with. If that is the direction you want to take noone here would be dumb enough to think they could stop you, but don't kid yourself. Fentanyl destroys tolerance to regular opiates, causes withdrawals after only using it a short while, and is, in my exp, harder to transition onto subs from (though not too bad). Granted 25mcg patch is not a super high dose, and I bet it would kill you w/d, but it seems like a step in the wrong direction if you are trying to minimise future anguish. I guess by now you've probably made the choice one way or the other already.
Opiate tolerance is a changing thing, you always have some level of tolerance so technically it lasts a lifetime. Maybe rephrase that q or scrap it since these issues tend to be personal things that differ from person to person.
