The new patch I posted about also solves this problem as it avoids the gut.

An affidavit accuses Brown of bringing Xanax, OxyContin, marijuana and tobacco into Tipton County jail to be delivered to inmate Joshua Lee Maine, 21, who authorities say was her boyfriend.
Maine died less than an hour after he was found unconscious in his cell Nov. 2. An autopsy showed he died of “mixed-drug intoxication” of fentanyl and alprazolam, according to Tipton County Coroner Bob Nichols.
Nichols said fentanyl is a pain killer used in treatment of broken bones or cancer. It’s also given to surgery patients. He said at-home use is usually in the form of a patch. Alprazolam is a generic version of Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication.
Wow.
I feel for you.
LOL!
I can’t help but wonder what these addicts are thinking.
Don’t people put two-and-two together before they start doing drugs? Aren’t they scared of what might happen?
I’m glad I’ve had the brains to stay away from drugs.
Ibroke my ankle/leg in 2010. After a little while I started this intense itching everytime I took one. No more for me.
Those days are over!
I used to get a little wired off Vicodin but now they have changed the formula. Nothing left but pain relief and stiff stools.
I wasn’t replying to anything in your comment, I was just replying to it because it was the first post. As for the rest of your comment, you can kiss my ass.
Fentanyl is a very dangerous drug.
The fentanyl patch in current use has NO anti-abuse properties, quite different from the Phosphagenics oxycodone patch which is very resistant to abuse because the active ingredient can’t be extracted or concentrated except by extraordinarily expensive, difficult and time consuming procedures. So difficult and expensive in fact that one would be better off making oxycodone from scratch.
This new patch is quite unlike anything that has been seen before.
That is what pain relievers are for.... relief of pain. The mindset that wants to ban them because they might be abused is the same as those who want to ban guns because they might be abused.
You may just be allergic to codeine, I am. Can’t take codeine or morphine. I can take derivatives but not codeine or morphine.

I’m glad I never experienced that. Vicodin knocks me out,though. At times it makes me itch but I already have dry skin so I don’t know if it’s the Vicodin or whatever else is causing the dry skin.
Now I know why chickens cackle after laying their eggs!
LOL.
Hydrocodone makes me sick, Dizzy, and nauseated. Although it does work, I can’t imagine taking it for pleasure. Ibuprofen and Whiskey are my painkillers of choice. As a matter of fact, typing this has made the tips of my fingers sore to the point of needing a nice shot of Woodford Reserve......

Your skin can't stop itchin'!
I went to see a rheumatologist the other day and he was the one who told me I have arthritis. He also asked me if I have dry,itchy skin so I think the two are related.
Did you know they have Fentanyl in a lollipop form?
I just hope I never need either one. But I’m glad stuff like this is available if I ever should have the need.
I too have taken hydocodone for several years. I do not feel high, just take at night for overnight pain that keeps me awake.
I hada bad bout with pain not long ago and oxycodone was prescribed. Took one tablet and went into orbit. Flushed the rest down the facility.
