I'm on 100mcg/hr right now. Worked my way up from tramadol, hydro, oxycodone, oxycontin, morphine, patches, pils, back to patches. Im on patches now, all this for severe constant pain management, i was abusing my pills so im back o patches, harder for me to abuse them.
I first started on 50's, my doctor decided i was well tollerant to opiates by then. A few monthes later uped to 75's, same later to 100's. Unfortunately for me i got no high or uforia on the patches. Which for work was great. Im a shop welder, making big heavy stuff moving them with cranes and all. Didnt need to be fuzzy in the head moving that shit around.
My, who is a nurse knows good and well the effects of these drugs and their potency, so she keeps pretty good tabs on me. She can tell when im a little "too happy", so i need to be carefull how i try to play around with my stuff. The only time i get a little buzz or light headed is when i chew/suck on a fresh patch. But unfortunately these are barely making a dent in my pain.
So my advice is to be carefull with your patch. If youre feeling the effects within an hour of putting on a patch be real careful. If you have stuff to do in the world during the day id take it easy adding other pills to the mix with a patch on. I have on occasion felt overly buzzed or light headed because of patch placement. Usually on the top of my foot, i tape them on, plus the pressure from my socks and shoes seemed to squeeze more fent i to my system. I actually took the patch off for a bit. I was at work, didnt need to have an accident.
So my advice is to becareful and have fun. Iand the rest of us im sure dont want to loose a member due to OD.
