Opioids Help with first time on chewing fentanyl patches (detailed instructions)

[dnasty]

Hi everyone, I am new to this site. have been a very heavy user of opiates via my doctor for many years. I recently have been prescribed 100 mcg of fentanyl (watson /gel) and 50 mcg (Mylan) at 15 each per month so I can change at every 48hours. I also get 60, 10 mg Opana immediate release a month for breakthrough pain. I snort my opanas. Before going on the patches, I was taking 100 (mgs) of Opanas a month of which I snorted.

I have read a lot about chewing the patches and have 2 questions. Since I change the patches ever 48 hours, can I chew the 50 mcg patch after I remove at 48hours to get the rest of the remaining medicine? If so, should I cut the 50 mcg patch in half or in quarters and place under my tongue every couple of hours? Or should I just wear the 100 mcg Duragesic and cut the 50 mcg into strips and place under my tongue? If I do so, then how much should I cut them and how often should I change the cut strips?

I can’t tell i’m really taking the 150 mcgs of patches on my skin during the 48 hours. The only thing I can barely feel is the opanas for breakthrough pain. I am suffering terrible pain and just wanted to know if any of you had any experiences in using these strips under the tongue? I do not do needles at all (big phobia!) Thanks for any/all feedback!

I know do you not wish to hear this, but please please please, DO NOT use Fentanyl Patches bucally - Firstly you will not get much of the Fentanyl out by doing that, you will get some, and it will fuck you up, but it is an extreme waste. Secondly, your tolerance and dependance will go through the roof after doing this even for a small amount of time, Fentanyl is extremely potent, hence the mcg/hr doses, and giving yourself milligram doses instead of microgram doses ( which will happen if you do this ) will cause you serious problems - Overdosing on Fentanyl is very easy and many many people have died messing around with this drug..

If you still wish to go against my advice, search here on BL for 'Fentanyl Extraction', there's a really good thread somewhere around here on this subject that shows you how to use Alcohol to extract the medication. Make sure you read the WHOLE thread or you could end up endangering yourself. And the only reason I am telling you all this is because I do not want you to hurt yourself.

Be careful man..

Thanks for your thoughts. Unfortunately I should have been at 225 mcgs instead of 150mcgs based on conversion and I'm in a lot of pain. I thought that is I wore the 50 mcg patch for 2 days and then cut it up and used in under my tongue that would not be as dangerous especially with my super high tolerance to opiates. Thanks

That's a real good way to kill yourself by accident. There was a recent Doctor G show where she did an autopsy and found pieces of Fentanyl patch in the guys stomache. Cutting open the used up patches and rubbing the contents directly on the skin has also caused fatal overdoses.

As I have alreadystated, I have been under numeroous doctors care for many years to serious injuries sustained in a car accident and some biological spine diseases. This is not recreational play. But a requaest to help w my severe pain on this new patch that just isn't doing the trick. Please do not patronize me in your replies. I'm not a novice. Thx

I apologize and I retracted my comment because I posted before reading your reply about being in chronic pain. You need to let your doctor know that the dose you have isn't working. They should be able to get you on a dose that works. There is no reason to be in pain in this day and age with the meds that are available.

I have a feeling that that latest reply was not directed at me, but if it was, I did not intend on sounding patronizing. I was only trying to give you good advice against using the patches bucally, and if you still wished to proceed and try it, then to read that thread, and most of all, be careful! I'm a pain patient too man, I know how bad extreme pain is, and a short while ago I was on 2 x 100mcg/hr patches along with 400-600mg of Oxy IR per day, so I know about these things too bud. Like I said, take care, and if you do indeed wish to try obtain 'quicker' relief via these patches, please search and read that thread before you do anything that could harm you. All the best.
