For me, today.. the wonderful gel from a fent patch. I'm finally back on Fent after my doc had switched me to Methadone. Although Methadone works wonders on my W/D i had really bad side affects when i took it for pain and it was a way to high dose for me and my break through meds made me even sicker when i took the methadone. But, using a small dose for my w/d this weekend WOW, that stuff completely knocks w/d out. It works WAY better than subs did for my w/d that's for damn sure. To bad the doc wants the bottle of methadone back but at least i saved like 30.. and that's only because i didn't take much of it and the doc will expect that some of them are gone. Oh well. I was hoping to save the 170 i had and save them for emergency w/d. Well he only asked to see the bottle, he didn't say they were taking it.
You know i was on Methadone all weekend. I took 20 mgs on Sunday about 10 am. When i got my fent on Monday i knew i had to be careful because although i only took 20mgs at 10 am i knew it was still in my system on Monday. So i started with very small doses of the gel. I thought the Methadone would block most of it but it didn't, all it did was slow down how long it took to kick in. And i didn't my normal high, but i did feel it.
I read on line that Methadone doesn't completely block Fentanyl because fent is an opiod and not an Opiate. And i read that when someone who is on MMT gets hurt like in an accident and they need pain meds, that a lot of doctors use fentanyl for pain in MMT patients. Kind of interesting.
Damn it feels good to be back on fent. In a few days I'm using only as prescribed. I just need a few days to get some cleaning done and take care of a lot of my Grandma's paperwork and stuff.
Ok, sorry.. rambling here. Sounds like everyone is feeling rather comfortable on their DOC's today.
Have fun
