Fentanyl mistake

[Porgie]

Well..it was my bad. I thought I read up in here on what was the best method of takeing Fentanyl but I got confused once I got off on the patches and messed up. I talked my doctor into letting me have a month (10 patches) supply of 75 mcg Fentanyl patches. It wasn't what I wanted but it was all he was willing to do. He won't let me have anything that isn't timed release. This the second time he has done this this year. The first time I just stuck them on and the only abuse I did was to wear more than one at a time.

This time I started out just wearing the patches but the junkie in me kicked in and started searching on how to use them better. I was scared to IV them and I couldn't understand how to smoke the gel. But I guess because I was wearing 2 75 mcg patches on the second day for some reason putting the gel under my tongue didn't seem like "eating" it.

That gel is toxic! I've never been so sick!. I'm normally on Suboxone and it took a while for the Fentanyl to kick in but when I started saveing the used patches and freezing the remains and then cutting the patch open and scaping the gel out and putting it under my tongue I got off. It was good for the first couple of days but finally I couldn't take it any more and had to go back on the Suboxone. Or at least try and go back on the Suboxone. It's been 4 days since I last had a patch on or ate any of the gel and I'm still not stable on my normal low (2 mg) dose of Suboxone. I wonder if I could have done liver damage? I already have HepC! I'm weak...don't want to eat, etc. I dressed today for the first time in days.

My question is will this ever go away or have I finally done something so stupid I can't get over it. I'd be so embarased to have to tell my doctor I ate the patches he gave me!

I'm 53..so that my explain why I can't spring back like in the past. If anyone has had any experience like this and they improved give my a shout out to let me know I'll be better in time. Thanks Porgie ( that's a stupid nick from childhood ..it's George)

I accidentally posted...nothing. This is "edit."

It sounds more like you just did a little too much, and you are on a pretty low dose of subs--I'm on 8mg--so u should get to feeling better. I doubt u did anything permanent to liver...my doc explained most liver damage as cumulative, not immediate, and I knew people who did plenty worse, for much longer, and are here to tell the tale. I had hepC too, but treatment worked, it's been gone for years. After I've been on opiates, I always take a few days to feel "right" on subs, so it could be that. I'll let somebody w/more fentanyl experience chime in.

Best wishes though...and you're still a kid: I was in my *prime* at 53...

now at 55, I'm old and tired so gather ye rosebuds while ye may, youngster, 'cuz soon enough you'll be drooling and talking to yourself and bitching about all the young people fucking up this country ;-)

Is there something else in the fentalyl patch? I thought opiates didn't cause any major liver problems?
