before I start this I want to be clear that this isn't a macho self-congratulatory opiate tolerance cry for disdain.
swim is not a frequent opiate user. swim has been a severely reclusive person for the last 3-5 years of his life with major social anxiety since childhood.
swim recently acquired a 100mcg duragesic fent patch that was three months shy of its expiration date. swim decided to smoke this fent patch on foil--cautiously. two other people decided to give it a try with him. these two were completely floored after 1-2 hits and vomited repeatedly afterward. one had consumed some alcohol, the other had not. Both were advised that this was (as far as swim knew) the most potent opiate there was and that this was potentially dangerous if they did not take care. both of these other people did enjoy the experience, although one wished he had not done partaken before a party.
swim was frustrated because he was not getting the same results as these other two. swim repeatedly smoked drops of fent from around 1am to 8am, exhausting the patch. before this time swim definitely was smoking the stuff correctly. swim had the straw low over the foil and inhaled consistently as the drop burned away, there were some pronounced effects: a dizzy kind of head rush after each session followed by a calm sense that distant noises had dropped away and a strong but not overwhelming sense of drowsiness. it was not until suddenly around 6am that swim had a breakthrough of euphoria after smoking that continued to happen after each subsequent smoke. swim finished the fent patch in fewer than 24 hours, only sharing perhaps four drops with others, never experiencing any sort of nausea.
swim concludes that this may be evidence to suggest an irregularity in swim's brain chemistry (or maybe lungs for that matter, swim is not a doctor) but swim can't ask his doctor for obvious reasons. Swim is hopeful that perhaps this experience could shed light on some of swim's lifelong psychiatric peculiarities. Swim wishes to add he takes a popular SSRI as well as a very low dose of a certain anti-psychotic mood stabilizer prescribed (incorrectly it seems [presumably off-label]) to treat depression.
any insights graciously appreciated.
