a few more facts
Most would be surprised to know that this fentanyl, which (thank goodness) is only available by prescription, is nonetheless a hundred times more potent than morphine and several times stronger than heroin.
The Duragesic fentanyl patch should only be used in a carefully controlled manner, and only prescribed to the people who can handle the stuff—in other words, individuals already conditioned against the rigors of opiates.
the risk is substantial. Even the wearing of a single patch for pain by someone not properly conditioned to opiate drugs poses significant risk, as there would to a caregiver who might handle the patch incorrectly.
This stuff is powerful, and not for everyone. The involvement of both an educated doctor, and patient is integral to a positive outcome when using the Duragesic fentanyl patch. One doctor, it has been reported, prescribed a Duragesic patch for someone who was complaining of a simple headache. Such misdirected use is a recipe for disaster. A lethal dose of fentanyl can stop your heart, and stop you breathing.
so i guess i am a little reckless every 72 hours
TBVH if i removed my patch after 72 hours where as it's no longer effective for
me as it's tailing off a bit, and stuck the same patch on someone they could/would be dead in about 4 hours.
never sleep next to me !!!!!!! after you have pissed me off.
ohhh what a life
