Opioids Fentanyl

at least in the PNW if you vape meth it may already contain fentanyl
Please exercise caution; testing strips and narcan are a good harm reduction consideration.
I had to revive my son from an accidental OD; and this was from cocaine. His meth vaping friend has had three ODs.
Both were opiate free so a small amount of fent in the drug suppy to non-tolerant user is risky, at best.
Just my two cents; back in my day; we didn't have pain pills; x was x, meth was meth, and coke was coke.
Never saw an opiate OD till one month ago; ive been on methadone 20 years; but the OD was my son and saving him was great and all but it was time sensitive, traumatic as can be to witness, and waiting on that ambulance while CPRing is torture.
 
Is that Canada? I am about as far away from you while being on the same land mass as possible. I'm in FL. I can tell you that in the past few months around where I'm at, there have been multiple OD deaths from cocaine laced with fentanyl. When I look it up online, it looks like OD deaths from fentanyl laced stimulants has been happening pretty regularly since 2018. I think testing whatever drug you're doing is becoming a necessity.
 
Hello I’m posting because I need help and don’t know what to do. I’ve been using street fentanyl for about 2-3 years everyday. Now I use .2-.5 grams a day. I have also been on methadone for over a year now my dosage was at 169mgs, but it’s dropped to 135 because I don’t want to risk the heart issues that the doctors claim that happen at dosages over 150mgs. I thought I would be able to stop fent when I got on methadone but the doctors started me on such a low dose it didn’t help so I kept using to stay well. Now I’ve been struggling with trying to stop the fentanyl and just be on the methadone but it’s been so hard mostly because of fear from past withdrawals going cold Turkey(didn’t go through with it and started using after day 3 because I didn’t want to feel that way anymore) I’m afraid of having to feel that way again. But now i want to try to cold turkey fentanyl and rely on the methadone but I’m scared of getting those withdrawals again. I also have mixed feelings about methadone because I don’t want to be stuck on that and I’ve heard it’s hard to get off of and the WD’s are horrible. So at this point I dont know if I should try going cold Turkey off of both or only doing one at a time. I’m just at this point where I’m sick of it and I dont want to have to rely on anything to feel normal anymore. I just would like for someone to give me their thoughts about it and the best way to go through with this. I’m willing to try other medications that aren’t any type of opioid to try to get through the WD’s. It just sucks cause I don’t even think I could find the time to withdrawal and I’m just so lost right now. I’m a full time engineering student and so I have to keep up with my work, currently I’m doing my gen Ed online but I still have to spend a lot of time doing homework. So this also makes it hard because I have to try to plan my withdrawal around my schooling and I don’t know how I should quit. I speak to a counselor for 50 minutes on the phone once a week through the clinic and she’s some fresh out of school counselor who’s probably never touched a drug before and doesn’t know what addiction feels like and the first half of the time is the usual how are you what’s been going on how’s your use type of thing then she tells me I just need to stop using then the rest of the time is spent waiting for her to write it all down then maybe for the last 10 minutes she reads out of a book and so I have no guidance there and I don’t know anyone who’s gone through a similar situation to help me through it and give me advice. So I’m coming here hoping that anyone could give help me, support me, give me advice, or just any type of help. Thanks.
 
This is exactly what I'm dealing with right now, I did quit the fent when I got on methadone well when I got to the mg that i could take without needing fent to eat sleep or shower. I used only 120 mg everyday for 8 months and it was great things moved along in my life like I'd wanted for years until I missed a Friday dosage at the clinic. At the clinic I dosed at they have a 3 day policy if u miss a Friday then u don't get your weekend doses so then Monday they cut me back to where I started at 15 mg at that point I was working 12 hour shifts 5 days a week making damn good money but the weekends was our Mondays 6pm to 6am I needed help getting through and relapsed first was just for the weekend since I didn't have my doses but then after getting cut and having to go up 10 mg every 5 business days I found myself jobless within 2 weeks and homeless in 4. So here a year later I've now mixed the two for so long idk if I need to increase my dose and drop the fetty if that will work or if I'm still going to have the same withdrawals idk I just want to get back to when the methadone was enough
 
I’m very sorry that you relapsed, I understand the difficulties of trying to manage a life while having to go to a place every day just to feel well. The whole system just makes it difficult, maybe I could have done it “right” at first and cut down the fetty as my dose went up but it was so god damn hard because at this time I was probably using a gram every two days and to start with 20mgs of methadone just didn’t work so I kept using to stay well as I also had to dose consistently for 5 days in a row. I dont have a car and I don’t have a clinic in my town, so I have to ride the bus and I have to travel an hour one way just to go medicate and the whole process takes about 4 hours from the time I catch the bus to the time I get off the bus in my town. On top of this I have to schedule my classes around this so there were so many times where I didn’t feel like spending 4 hours to just go get this stuff that may or may not help so it took me almost a year to get up to where my dose was and during that time I kept using so I’ve been stuck on both and now I’m currently trying to go cold Turkey off the fetty and hope that the methadone makes it easier but at this point I don’t even want to be on methadone anymore because it’s just basically a burden and now I’m trying to schedule my withdrawal around my school work and it just sucks.
 
So did anyone give there 2sense in vaping it? I'm needing to figure out if there's a way I can mix in some pow with like 2ml of vapejuice and use my vape. I can adjust wattage from 5 to 30 watts
