First of all, allow me to apologize for asking a Fent question when I realize there's already a bunch of posts with information. I am currently on my cell phone and only on 3G, so it's bad enough it's taking 20 minutes just to load this page and type this. I can't really search for a whole lot.
Anyway, just a quick question about Fentanyl. My girlfriend just got a 75 mcg/hr transdermal fentanyl patch from a friend and wants to come over and share it with me later tonight, and I am curious to know what the safest method of use is. Obviously it's to just put it on your skin, but since it's one patch for 2 people, I heard you can't cut these things and then put them on your skin because the gel/liquid will "leak" and if you're exposed to it for too long you could OD.
The girl my girlfriend bought this from is stupid and actually told my GF to just cut the patch into like 6 squares and chew on one of the squares, not knowing that she has almost no tolerance for strong opiates. Thank god she told me that and I was able to immediately call her and tell her not to touch the damn thing until I do research on it.
So yes, I am aware that Fent is dangerous and easy to OD on. I've never done it before, neither has she, although we are moderate opiate users. Just did a few 30mg morphine tabs a couple days ago, but we are by no means "tolerant" of opiates. I, for example, can still get nauseous from 30mg Oxycodone, although I'm never too concerned about it. A few years ago I used to be an Oxy addict, upwards of 300mg a day some days, and one day just quit cold turkey. Since then opiates have always made me a little nauseous and I think it's more mental than physical. I still feel fine.
So anyways, just looking for the best advice. If you know we're going to do this thing regardless, hopefully the community could drop a little info my way for an old time community member just looking to play it safe. Thanks for any info and responses.
