fentanyl patch question

[Gauged]

I can't start a new thread so i will try to add on to this one.. Hopefully someone can help me here please.

I have never had fentanyl. My tolerance to opiates isn't extremely high but sure isn't low. I use anywhere from 30-100 mg of oxycodone a day with the occasional dose of 10mg oxymorphone here and there. Sooooo i have not had anything for almost a day now and I do not want to go into WD. I'm already feeling the beginning of it starting.(blah)

I traded for a 12mcg fent patch months ago and was to afraid to use it after reading all the od stories online. And believe me, there are a lot of them. Now on to my question. I want to cheek this thing tonight when i get home from work. Should i cut it into half? 1/3? 1/4? It is the mylan patch not gel. Maybe I'm worried for nothing but i know someone here can help me .

Moved to OD from a portion of a NMI thread.

That dose will not cause you to OD if you wear it properly. Really for 30mg oxycodone a day, you should actually have a 25mcg/hr patch. It will realease faster and you won't be able to determine exact dosing rate, but I would suggest wearing it somewhere hairless (and in a spot it indicates you should put it), and put a heating pad up to it for a few hours to get it kick started first off (as patches normally take a while to kick in), and to speed the transmission of the drug. If it's not one with the gel release and just an adhesive, I wouldn't move it at all or peel any of the adhesive as the drug is contained in it.

It won't last as long though, I dunno when you can "re-up" or what not.

What error exactly was it giving you saying that you couldn't post a thread?
