Okay, so i've read A LOT of the fentanyl threads on here. And A LOT of people are bashing on the MYLAN brand Fentanyl patches. These are the plastic matrix type patches. They are NOT gels.
I've been addicted to opiates for 3-4 years now. It started out with one 7.5mg vicodin. Now i'm eating around 50-75mcg of fentanyl EVERY day. It's getting bad. But anyways, the reason for this thread was to express MY feelings on fentanyl patches, mostly the MYLAN brand. It is my favorite. I want to provide some of MY reasons why I enjoy the MYLAN brand over any other. And over any type of gel patches.
Before I go on, it must be known that I don't typically eat these patches to get high. I need them to not go through any w/ds. Otherwise I wouldn't have to do these everyday. When I want to get high, I combine other pills/drugs into the mix. As well as marijuana. But that's an entire different thread. haha.
I hate the gel patches. mostly because of the way I use the mylan patches. I always just cut off & put a piece in my mouth for 4-5 hours, just sitting on my tongue. and it will keep me lovely ALL DAY. I've sucked on gel's before, and a lot of it gets wasted due to swallowing it.
With the gel patches, you certainly cannot take a 100mcg and cut it into 2-4 pieces which you could totally do with a MYLAN. All the gel will leak out. And swallowing the gel is an absolute waste, as it will not effect you once it passes into the g.i tract. I don't like smoking/injecting the gel either. I HAVE smoked it before off tin foil just to see what type of effects I would get. But they were always very shitty. And really short lasting. It also wastes a 100mcg patch very quickly. I've seen my friend smoke an entire 100mg gel within an hour. A 100mcg MYLAN patch for me would last me 2-3 days. And for as expensive as they are (I live in Buffalo, NY...a 100mcg goes anywhere from $60 which is considered really good - all the way up to $100+)
I normally get my hands on whatever size mylan patches are around. 50, 75, or 100mcg usually. Sometimes ill come across some 25mcgs. And lately i'm up to eating 50mcg at a time just to feel feel a TINY BIT over comfortable. I take it about an hour after waking up EVERY day. Otherwise i'll feel like shit if I don't. It rarely gets me high. It just makes me feel comfortable in my own skin for the day. Then Ill usually eat another 25mcg at night around 9-10pm (I don't go to sleep til about 3am), not because I need it for maintenance...but just to be chilled out. And I know i'll sleep good if I eat a little piece at night. Ill also eat xanax sometimes (lately, quite often) with my night dose of 25mcg. Then me and my girlfriend will usually just chill out and watch a movie. I try to limit myself on the xanax though..i'm already addicted to one terrible drug. I don't need to get myself into another dangerous drug, with the w/ds from it resulting in possible seizure's & death. I was so niave about opiates when I first started doing them. I really didn't know what addiction was. I was just selling scripts of vidodin to make money, and I would eat a few every time. Then I started getting them every day to sell, so I would keep a couple more..then vic's didnt work anymore and I got into oxy's..then they got too expensive and didn't work.. and then I found fentanyl and got out of control. Please, if you're reading this and have not taken a trip to the world of opiates...DO NOT start. You do not want to take that trip. And i've never tried heroin for that exact reason - Because I will love it too much, and I promised myself I would never get into heroin. Fentanyl is as far as it's going to go.
But anyways, I believe the mylan patches are MUCH better. They can be very easily hidden. I keep mine in a cd case in my room. Or when i'm out & about, ill keep them in my wallet. Another reason I take a liking to them is because you can pretty much cut yourself whatever size dose you want. Which you cannot do with the gels.
I can't believe I use to get out of my mind for 6+ hours on a piece of about 10-15mcg. with insane nods. Sometimes if I ate it at night, I would wake up the next..afternoon(haha) like 13 hours later, still high as a kite. Now I couldn't even get those results if I ate an entire 100mcg.
I plan on getting off these really soon. I'm weaning myself down as far as I can then i'm going to jump off. I've been stacking up on benzo's for the w/ds. Also got some Immodium AD at my hand. Some nyquil, with dxm in it hehe. That should help right? Any other suggestions? I REALLY wish I could get my hands on some Clonodine. Dang. It sounds like that stuff would help immensley.
But I hope this thread was helpful to anyone looking for info on MYLAN brand fentanyl patches vs. duragesic (gel). If you have the choice to get gel, or the plastic matrix...go with the matrix!! especially the MYLAN brand.
Wish me luck on getting off this stuff guys.
PS - This is my first post by the way, so spare me if it's a little bit all over the place. I had a lot I wanted to say, but wasn't too sure how I wanted to structure it. And i'm not even sure I posted this in the right area. I'm sorry!
