Hello!
I wanted to gather some data to use for personal comparisons. I am ill, and receive the medicine from a local HOSPICE pharmacy. It is a neat setup, as they can combine anything into various forms and quantity to accomplish their goals.
I have been on multiple types of opiates and dosages; over time, I have developed the typical resistance and have not received the euphoric sensation for more than a year and a half now. We have tried to change the opiate and doses, but this has been with no success. I am getting some pain control, but nothing like I did originally. Further, I am at the point of wanting that feeling again, not so much as to chase a high, but to just get a distraction from the pain and know the medicine is actually working.
In my current position, I am able to essentially set my own dosage parameters.
Hence, what I would like from Bluelight is some data of what type of opiate they have taken, what form it was in, the dosage amount, and the length of time. Specifically, I am looking for high dosage data. I am not interested in someone popping 10mg of Oxy 4 times daily for a month. Finally, I welcome any advice for my current opiate prescription, as I can adjust the quantity taken with full liberties. I would like the advice to be practical and with thought, as I don't want to prematurely end my life with this pursuit. Yet, I am fully aware, my mileage may vary. Further, this advice would be for me specifically - not for an average user.
Here are my last three combinations, in chronological order with #3 being current:
Combination #1. I was on this regiment for three months:
- Drug: Fentanyl Patch (100mcg)
- Dose: Two 100mcg Patches
- Frequency: Change every 72 hours
- Drug: Oxyconitn Extended Release
- Dose: 120mg tablets, taken twice a day (one in the morning, one at evening); total of 240mg daily.
- Frequency: Taken daily
- Drug: Abstral (Fentanyl Sublingual Tablets)
- Dose: 1200mcg, taken five times a day (~ every 4 hours); total of 6000mcg daily.
- Frequency: Taken daily
- Drug: Tramadol Instant Release
- Dose: 50mg tablets, taken 10 times daily (~ every 2 hours, between Abstral doses); total 500mg
- Frequency: Taken daily
Combination #2. I was on this regiment for a week:
- Drug: Fentanyl Patch (100mcg)
- Dose: Two 100mcg Patches
- Frequency: Change every 72 hours
- Drug: Oxyconitn Extended Release
- Dose: 120mg tablets, taken twice a day (one in the morning, one at evening); total of 240mg daily.
- Frequency: Taken daily
- Drug: Dilaudid Liquid (sublingual)
- Dose: 40mg per mL, taken 6 times daily; total 240mg
- Dose: Secondary dosage of .5 mL (20mg) to be taken every 2 hours (PRN). Total 160mg.
- Dose: Total 400mg daily / 10 mL daily
- Frequency: Taken daily
Combination #3 - currently taken:
- Drug: Fentanyl Patch (100mcg)
- Dose: ONE 100mcg Patch
- Frequency: Change every 72 hours
- Drug: Dilaudid IV connected through my port-a-cath
- Dose: 6 mg per hour basal, 6mg per hour as a bolus; 12mg per hour; 288mg MAX per 24 hours (realistically I am getting 240-250mg per 24 hours)
- Dose (bolus is set to 1mg per button press, every 10 minutes, 6 times an hour)
I have been told that these three combinations of opiates is a significant amount. Yet, this has been administrated through doctor orders. I would like to see what other people have been taking, as people who take via recreational follow their own limits, pushing a different boundary level.
Hence, this boundary will naturally be higher than what doctors order. Depending on the feedback received, I could hypothetically learn that many people push 500mg per 24 hours of IV Dilaudid vs my 250mg. Hence, I could start titrate higher.
Does that make sense?
I can also use the online opiate conversion calculators if people have been taking other high dosages, like Morphine.
I look forward to everyone's feedback!
Thank you,
Joe
