How do you shoot up fentanyl transdermal system with vinegar?
I recently came across a 25 mcgh/hr fentanyl transdermal patch from Mallinckrodt. I've never tried it before but this type has no gel to it. I was told to draw up 50ml of water and put the patch in a cooker. Let it sit for 15 min and beat it down with the plunger before drawing pack up. hope it works.
Has anyone ever overdosed from shooting up the gel from a Fentanyl patch?
Yes, plenty of people have overdosed and even died from shooting up Fentanyl patches, both the gel containing patches and gel-less patches. The amount of Fentanyl in patches contains several days worth of Fentanyl, depending on the strength of the patch and a persons tolerance the total amount of Fentanyl can kill even the most tolerant of people several times over. Proceed with extreme caution when venturing into the IV injecting of Fentanyl patches!
How long will gel out of a Fentanyl patch show up in a urine test after eating it?

Do Fentanyl patches contain caffeine?
No - they only contain Fentanyl in a transdermal release suspension gel.
How do you know if a Fentanyl patch has gel in it?
It's usually pretty obvious; once the gel is depleted, the gel reservoir becomes flat and wrinkly. If you press your finger on one edge and smooth it out to the other end, you'll see how much, if any, is left.
Can you put gel from a fentanyl patch directly on your skin?
Yes. You can take a needle or safety pin and insert it into one of the corners of the fentanyl patch. Then, move the needle or safety pin, left & right, to make a small slit in the patch. Remove the needle and then take a credit card or some other type of hard, firm card and slide the card across the patch, to move the gel inside the patch, towards the slit that you made with the needle. Push the gel out of the slit. Then, take a syringe that is prefilled with water, about 30-40 cc's of water and carefully remove the plunger, after shaking the water down towards the needle. Then, take the gel and carefully apply it onto the opening of the syringe. Then, dip your index finger into water, until the water is on the verge of dripping off of your finger. Put your wet finger over the opening of the syringe and over the gel. (the wet finger will prevent the gel from sticking to your finger and mix with the water in the syringe) Then, shake the syringe upside down until the gel mixes with the water. Then, put the plunger back into the syringe and push the water filled with gel, up towards the needle end, careful not to push too far up, as the water mixed gel, will come out of the needle! Then, there you go!
What will happen if you apply Fentanyl gel from a patch to skin?
It depends on the person and the amount of gel involved. If you're extremely tolerant to Fentanyl, you won't be affected as quickly, but for most people, respiratory / cardiac arrest and death are the most common results. It's slower than Cyanide, but the end result is the same. Fentanyl patches are designed to deliver a continuous, small dose over a period of 2-3 days. By removing the gel and applying it directly to the skin, the person is bypassing the timed-release component. Most people, high dose Fentanyl users as well, aren't capable of handling that high a dose at one time.
