So I’ve been wearing a 25mch patch for 24 hours. (Mylan).
I wasn’t going into this expecting a lot of euphoria. I did however have the basic expectation that it would help me maintain over a few days, seeing as that I have one of the most powerful medically accepted opioids being slowly released into my body. I don’t have the cash flow to buy the pills I need right now.
Yesterday was rough, but in my research i read that it can take up to 20 hours to fully kick in. So I took some “breakthrough meds” to help. Felt great last night.
Woke up this morning with the unmistakeable feeling of early withdrawal. Wtf. I’m not talking shit about fentanyl but maybe my tolerance is just so high that 25mcg an hour just doesn’t cut it? (Tolerance is such that 120mg of hydrocone a day is routine and 160mg isn’t uncommon)
My friend gums them. I have one patch left and am considering gumming part of it. I still definitely have a fear and respect for the drug. I know it can kill. So I’m a little leery about how to proceed. Should I just chalk these patches up to a lost cause? What would you seasoned addicts do in my place?
I need these withdrawals to stop, but don’t want to play around recklessly with fent.
Hope this question is okay. I did do some research on my own. I found a lot of “never do anything more than the doctor says” and “you will die” stuff. So....
