Similarity of fentanyl (Duragesic) to heroin. . .

[Kurt Cobain]

Hey everyone. . .just a discussion-opener and thread-starter for the day.  I've read several posts from folks here who have used/are coming off of Duragesic (fentanyl) patches of varying strengths.  Seems like most of these folks, however, have had them prescribed for legit reasons and have used them as directed.  My question is, is anyone else familiar with the NON-approved methods of using these patches (that would include mainly ingeston)?  Back in "the day", I would either cut them up or place them intact inside my mouth, and then. . .over and out (to the point of underestimating strength once and almost getting killed several times while driving home).  As I understand, medical fentanyl can actually be stronger and more "pure" than garden-variety smack, especially the way I took it.  Any other opinions/experiences would be interesting to hear. . .some of the things I did to get my hands on this drug are extreme, and I am most certainly NOT proud of any of them. . .seems very similar to heroin as far as the "drawing power" it had to get me to do things I would have otherwise (and now) find reprehensible.  Also, I've had bad dreams the last several nights about using everything under the sun, and so am a little shaken up these days -- especially since I've had no CONSCIOUS cravings for the **** in what seems like forever.  Can anyone else relate?  

Lastly (I promise). . .what is the "DA" BBoard I've heard several here refer to (and where?)  Judes, good to hear from you, maybe you can help with this. . .more later.  Thanks to everyone in advance. . .

Peace,

Kurt

Hey there!  It's a great day am I'm feeling awesome!  (just got my hair cut...always puts me in a good mood).  Haven't started down my road to pill-less days yet, but I'll get there.

Just wondering, did you have a chance to talk to your mother about the prednisone thing?

Peace out...Nana

That's alright.  Just joking with you.

I am sorry.  She told me it was years ago and even though the doctor weened her off, she still felt like **** for a day or so.  What you should do is go to www.google.com and do a search with "prednisone withdrawal" as your key words.  You should be able to come up with some info there.  Generally, the dose has to be slowly decreased.  I am not sure as to the rate at which this is done.  Again, I am sorry for not getting back to you on that.
