Alright..first post here. I'm going to start by saying I am usually very careful with all of my usage for years. From everything to lsd, kitty, mdma, opium..etc. always do rigorous research and know what I'm doing. I have a very low tolerance to opiates (two weeks ago about 20-30 mg a day hydros, before that little stints around the same way) so basically no tolerance. I slipped up tonight and some. dude gave me half a patch..I don't know the strength. I had a couple beers prior but wasn't drunk. I knew enough to not drink anymore. I layed down inside and then decided to research. Obviously instanly threw the thing off my arm, which had been there maybe an hour. I feel decently thrashed but not much more than a roxy I've insufflated before but I'm not sure how long these take to absorb. So should I stay up and feel it out? Its been off for about 30 minutes and I don't feel too bad and I know when my body is reacting to something badly. Just want to know if its still going to hit me harder later. I know this was an insanely stupid mistake so please don't preach..I am normally very responsible about these things. Just looking for some insight.

If you took it off there is nothing to worry about, the full extent of it will hit you quickly, it won't build unless you leave it on. Fentanyl is really short acting so the high will be gone quick with it off. With a 20-30 mg hydro tolerance its no surprise you felt it after an hour, but like you said its not knocking you out. Looking at a opioid conversion chart now and 200 mcg of fentanyl is = to 30 hydro- and 20 oxy-codone taken orally. So the most you got off that patch is 50 mcg in an hour since it was half a patch and they range from 25-100 mcg per hour. Maybe they first hour absorbs more than others and there are other factors that can determine how much is being absorbed. Regardless in 1 hour you won't be getting a dangerous, but if you left it on and fell asleep then it would be a concern.
