Help With Fentynal

HI everyone. I have some serious questions to ask you all. I started using the patch a few years ago. I was also on hydro pills. I took 4 or 5 a day of the pills and a patch every 48 hours. About a year ago I just stopped taking the pills. But I started to cut small pieces of my patch and chew on them. At first it would last me the 48 hours. Now I am having to find 100mg patches from another guy because I'm chewing a patch a day. I never meant for this to happen, And 5 yrs ago I wouldn't even think of taking any pain meds, but my pain got to the point I had too. I'm now to the point that guilt is driving me crazy. I know I need something for pain, but I don't know what to do? I hear about slowly getting off, But like cutting down on smoking, it would be very very difficult for me. Can anyone help me with some advice? Is it ok for me to continue, or should I try to stop completely? I struggle with this daily. Thank you for anyone who can help.

If you're cutting the patches up and chewing on them and have also got to the point where you're going through that many, then you have developed a problem that you really need to take seriously, before you overdose and kill yourself.

This is a very potent narcotic, it is over 80 time stronger than Morphine, so overdosing is much easier than you think.

You need to seek medical help for this, there is a new medication out called Suboxone, it is also an opiate, so it can help treat pain and addiction at the same time.

Learn more Suboxone details here.

You can search for doctors that treat with it in your area at suboxone.com

It also has the potential to be habit forming, but when used properly, it has helped many people beat such problems.

Does anyone else have any advice to add?

You can do this and get yourself back on track, it's just going to take time and determination.

I would stop the patch all together and try a tamper proof pill opana ers are probably the best on the market and u can not abuse or misuse them. I have done the same it will get worse trust that. Tell your doctor the patches do not work well after about 30 hrs and you researched opana. They are expensive but cheaper then buying on the street. Chronic pain is hard enough without worrying about running out. Believe me when i say if you think you are fooling anyone after chewing them you are not. We never know how high we seem unless through others eyes, dont let it destroy you it will. Im sure you have told your dictor they fell off lost ext, he has heard it all. Switch before you are discharged .goodluck

I have been using fentanyl patches for many years due to chronic back pain. First thing, STOP CHEWING THEM, PLEASE. I use the 25mg patches and change every 72 hours as prescribed. This releases the needed dosage into the blood stream and that's it. Use as prescribed and it eases the pain significantly. I don't feel high off of it and if that's the only reason you're using it please taper yourself off or get help from your DR. If used correctly at the lowest dosage it's a great pain reliever.

Hello all. My name is billmemp. I’ve read through this post and wow I’ve just never knew this pain crap that plaque our world could be so bad. Here I am trying to get my facts together, and a better understanding of the difference between 100mg of oxycodone a day to 25 mcg of fentynal I quess every 72 hours. So that I can provide the facts to my doctor tomorrow and convince her to prescribe 25mcg of fentynal from 100mg of oxycodone. I don’t know if that would be a good trade off because. Fentynal is expensive and for some reason 25 mcg of Fentanyl is cheaper at $44.00 compared to 32 mcg at $130.00 and 50mcg is at $220.00. How do you all afford it? I don’t know if I could afford this change. So maybe it would be better for me to stay with oxycodone instead of making the switch to a fentynal patch. Average guy thanks for sharing your story. I can imagine how frustrating this must be on you. I know the bottom line at the end of the day is PAIN. You would think for something so common as pain that our doctors and scientists would be able to come up with better ways of treating pain. But what do you think guys would changing be worth the cost cause eventually I would have to change to an expensive pain killer every month?
