Tolerance - Fentanyl 100 mcg Patch Day 2 and 3 Report

[award11]

My friend seemed to be pretty comfortable on day 2 of his patch. He said it was nice to not have to worry about redosing and taking his pill bottles around with him everywhere. The pain relieving qualities of the fentanyl are no doubt superior to the oxy/roxi combo that he is used to. He said its like being at ur peak, all day, with no peaks and valleys. At one point he supplemented with a 15mg roxi and said he felt like that was a little too much. He must be careful and remember that he has a high build up of fentantyl in his body and even a slight increase can be too much. SWIM is kinda OCD sometimes but it kinda scared him. Someone had told him earlier that his face was kinda flush, red and then a few minutes later his heart rate was slow and hard so he took the patch off for a few. He put it back on after about an hour and went to sleep.

After about 65 hours use he had to replace the patch. He said when he woke up he could tell that the med was not releasing anymore so he immediatedly slapped another one on. He feels bad kinda while he is waiting on the new patch to kick in. This is one of those valleys he was trying to avoid and is kinda thinking maybe he should stay with the oxy roxi combo.... In theory though, this should be the best method for SWIM, he just thinks its going to have to take some time to get used to. I will keep you guys posted.
