Fentanyl

In most cases, the first painkillers used are paracetamol, or anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen.

Liquid Fentanyl should only be used under the strict guidance and prescription of a healthcare provider. It is typically administered by placing drops under the tongue or mixing it with a small amount of liquid before swallowing. Overdosing on Fentanyl is very dangerous and can be fatal, so it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage carefully.

yes, they would both show up positive as an opioid.

One method is to cut the patch into small pieces and soak them in a known volume of liquid (e.g. alcohol or water) until the fentanyl is dissolved. This liquid can then be measured to determine the concentration of fentanyl. However, attempting to alter the form of a medication can be dangerous and should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

However, the primary reason that patients are normally prescribed Duragesic is that their pain is constant, chronic, and high enough that the amount of acute pain meds that would have to be taken in its place isn't going to work as effectively. Fentanyl patches are currently the only opiate therapy that lasts for days, not hours. Even OxyContin only lasts between 8-12 hours, and the dose dropoff is very steep compared to Fentanyl.

Duragesic use should never be considered lightly, as it's a life altering decision. Being at the mercy of Federal regulations concerning Schedule 2 opiates is not fun, but in all decisions quality of life must be the paramount factor. If it helps you lead some semblance of a normal life, then it's worth it.
