Hey, lets say i get a 100mcg/h fentanyl patch, but my tolerance to opiates isnt high enough for that not to kill me. is there any way to either extract the fentanyl, or put it on for an hour, take it off for 2hours, then somehow re-attach it.
basically i can get high off 25mg oxycodone, maybe a little less since its been awhile.
any help on splitting the dosage would help! thanks!

Have you ever done a 100ug/hr patch?
I am about the same as you - I can rail a 20mg OC and get a decent buzz... go for the full patch and get a feel for it's effects... I think it's about time for a Duragesic FAQ...
Anyway, it takes a few hours for the thing kick in anyway, so you can always put it on, wear it for 5-10 hours, then if you feel 100ug is to much, take it off - just make sure you put the back on ...
Thats assuming you want to get sammed, a 100 patch is gunna lay you out, so while it wont kill you (at least I should hope not) it will definitly make things like driving or using a sniper rifle almost impossible ...
Cutting them open is foolish when they are new, as there is a LOT of fentanyl in them (10mg in your case) ..
Shave the area right above yer heart and go for it!

It is not possible to regulate how much you get from a patch, because it forms a 6-8 hour resevoir under the skin, and JUST to get an effect you must keep it on for that long, and if you do that it will be the higher dose and not low at all. Granted the dose is slightly lower in the first few hours, but then what? are you gonna take it off and not be able to use it?
You must keep it on for it to form that under-skin pool, or it wont work, if the pool doesnt form in the right amount it wont get forced out into the bloodstream. If you put it on for just an hour it will not work, the amount released will get released VERY slow and you wont feel anything.
It is not worth the hassle to screw with it, what if you drop it on the carpet? what if it sticks to itself? what if what if what if, there are too many what ifs.
Unles you are able to keep it on the whole 3 days, its not worth it, because the membrane doesnt just work perfectly like that, it only will release the crap for a certain amount of time before it gets messy.
Besides the point is to put it on and be fucked up for days, if you cant do that, dont waste it.
Point being, if you leave it on long enough fot it to affect you, its the full dose, there is no inbetween or halfing it. I have read tons of studies on the trials and they found out what i just explained to you the hard way.

Actually you can take them off and re-apply without to much trouble, but after the first day or so, the adhesive is blown to shit and you can't get a good seal with the protective cover..

What about taking a shower or working out w/ a patch on? I suppose the water and the sweat will directly affect the output of the fentanyl from the patch. Any help would be appreciated. Also-do y'all think I should take the patch off when I go to bed-I mean, shit, I don't want to waste a high when I go to sleep.....Anything Phreex??

These don't start and stop on a dime ... if you put one on, it takes a few hours before you feel ANYTHING, a few more before you're FUCKED UP ... now, if you take one off, it's going to be a few hours before the high starts to diminish - so you would have to take it off hours before bed... still, it's not really a "waste" when you consider the amount of time it takes to start and stop, also, taking these things off isn't the best - try to leave them on for the full 72 hours ...
It's such a wonderfull sleep, don't worry, you will wake up feeling so fucked up you won't question it ... like I have said, take it off if you feel you *NEED* to, very few do..

And what exactly are these patches intended for? Like, what legitimate uses do they have?
Terminal illness? Sounds like the best recreational toy ever made, but I fail to see where something like that could be useful (in 'reality')...
Someone please expand my horizons...
 
Chronic pain that wont go away.... not for short-term use, but rather people like burn victims, cancer patients, people with other forms of irretractable pain - those that need a constant supply of narcotic in their system... the same people that get OxyContin could get fentanyl ...
The higher dose patches are generall reserved for the terminally ill - a 10mg patch is like 2 days of being immobile, I mean, don't try to drive or go to work (I love 'em!) ..
So no, the only way you're likely to see one of these is to catch a bad case of cancer, or blow a few discs ...

so how did you get the hook up phreex? i'm not asking for a source or anything, but i've read a lot about these, and my curiosity is piqued. i don't plan on being a cancer patient or a burn victim (just yet) so what the hell does one do?

Over its rocks ceaslessly bursts and raves.

The only drugs I do are pharmacutical (aside from a few packets each month, which are only an alternative to pharmacutical narcotics) ... so I have my sources... much like you may know people that can supply you with marijuana, cocaine, or LSD - I know people that can supply me with patches, pills, and syurps (on the flip side, I couldn't get a joint if I wanted to)..

back when i was on Catapress i had a patch. Cutting it in half halfed the dosage, wouldn't this work with Fentanyl?
Also, for those of you patch users who like to swim and get wet and stuff, buy Tegaderm<sp>. Your can get it at the drugstore. It is a clear thin layer of somthing you put over your patch and it provides a watertight seal so the patch doesnt get fucked up.
 
You can't cut Duragesic as it's not a *solid* patch - you have a patch wit ha resivour of drug (in a gel form) .. if you cut the patch, it would just leak out... you can find more information at http://www.duragesic.com
Water won't have an effect on the release of the drug, but heat will (read: pass over it with a blow dryer)
