Fentanyl patch, first time

[AquaFina]

SWIM has a 25mcg fentanyl patch and for first time use I plan on just putting it on skin. where should patch be placed.

Try placing it on your chest, either your left side or right side. You
can also place it on any location on your back. The patient information
that is included with them suggest above the heart is a good location.



A 25mcg patch would be pretty weak if you have any tolerance. A good
idea is put the patch on before you goto bed and you will have a buzz
when you wake up, that is if you have no tolerance. These patches will,
however, prevent you from going into withdrawals for around 48-72
hours. Have Fun!

Well, SWIM did use this patch and here is his experiance...


sorry for long story, goes from a slightly positive to negaitve.





SWIM put it on at about 10:00PM Saturdayfrom the reading I did on this and advice, I knew I would not feel much and I didn't.. I was up late though, was not tired and up till about 5:00AM playing some game and smoking a couple bowls of weed and I felt really good, not sure if it was the weed but I think it was some of the patch too.. ive taken vics before and know the feeling.


I goto bed and wake up early at 7:00AM and wide awake and try to get some more sleep and slept to about 9AM. I felt a little wierd and kept the patch on still thinking I will be feeling good soon. I didn't really feel like doing anything and had some dry mouth and kept drinking water.. I tried to eat and just didn't go well. about 3ish PM now and still feel the same. at about 4PM I feel weak, tired and my breathing was a little wierd but nothing bad. I had hiccups pretty badly and they kept coming back, and feeling weak still.


I take the patch off at about 5:00, drink some water and try to sleep.. slept on and off till about 7ish and kept waking up probably due to wierd brething pattern and when I would get out of bed I would get this head rush.. anxiety is building up at this moment even thouh I was trying to not let it, and it was coming on hard. my head just felt weird, kept getting a head rush and now getting a little dizziness from time to time. hiccups were coming on and off and could not sleep normal.





8:30 almost 9PM I tried to sleep again and it was not happening, i start to feel really wierd and getup quickly and get a really bad head rush, lights go dim and I feel like I am going to pass out. I freak out and my anxiety is out of control now I believe, and I try to rest..


I am at home, most of my friends are out of town, my parents are out of town as well all the way on the east coast, i am on the westcoast and did not know what was going on and what to do. I am over 18 and knew going to the hospital would be pretty safe to do, I am covreed by insurance through work.. I did not feel safe at home so I drive to the hospital which probably I should not drive but I kind of calm my self down but still feeling really out of. not high at all but just out of it in a bad way.


9:30 now and I was going to go to ER but instead I sat in the waiting room which was empty and felt safe there in case something did happen, I was in a hospital. I was sitting there and I could not calm my self down and I felt like my heart was beating out of control and my breathing didn't seem normal and decided to drive down to my of my friends house in the next town, 10 miles away and got there ok and talked to him.. said I didn't look good, looked pale and my eyes didn't look right.


I got up from his bed and that head rush hit me again and I guess mye eyes went like if someone were to passout and I retained and got up still.. my friend said man u don't look good, were going to the hopistal. he told me since I had inruance, itwould not be bad.


I goto E.R and check in and they put me into a bed right away, I told them what I had taken and all the details to help them help me. they assured me that my vitals were ok and that my pulse was high(180) they told me I might be having a slight reaction to the fentanyl and having a anxiety attack. they gave me two pills to take, not sure what they were but they did knock me out and lower my anxiety. when I got up tousethe bathroom I could barly walk and told me this was due to the meds they gave me. they did draw blood for I think kidney and liver and both came back very good.they were all finished withme and I left about 4 hours later.


The next day I felt depression and slept early and and today I do feel better and I am not messing this stuff again. I assumed it would not do much to me and didn't even expect this to happen.
