This thread is based on my having almost died following a fentanyl overdose and is largely subjective so it might very well be that I am in the wrong as I haven't necessarily looked into the data but I felt as though this warranted a discussion nevertheless and so I shall first proceed by recounting what exactly happened.
29th of May, 3 PM:
I was home with my parents after time away at college and happened to be in possession of a fentanyl patch (25μg per hour - meaning it administered a dosage of that amount every hour and curiously enough, these patches come into doses extending up to 150μg). I didn't necessarily intend to die but I was indifferent to life and couldn't care less as to what happened to me so long as I could indulge in escapism and forego having to be myself for however long. Not to diverge but I'm more than cognisant of being a gigantic piece of shit for abusing substances like this as a coping mechanism and it's not that I would necessarily mind users on here regurgitating this point but I don't want anyone to be under the impression that I'm somehow unaware of this fact. I administered the patch sublingually and went to have a bath.
It had barely been around five or ten minutes that I started to feel it make its way into my system. You guys know how when you're about to faint and you start feeling energyless? It was sort of like that but not as intense obviously and certainly not unpleasant although it wasn't necessarily pleasant either. It was a very neutral feeling. Now fast forward half an hour and I came out of the bath heavily sedated and lay on the couch. I don't know if this is common knowledge but fentanyl isn't exactly known to induce euphoria like other opioids and so euphoric I certainly wasn't feeling. Being on fentanyl is like being asleep when you are actually awake. (I hope you people do not mind me recounting this experience, I'm only reproducing it here so that those unacquainted with this substance can juxtapose its effects as a method with that induced by say SN and have a clue as to what they would feel before dying if they were to try it)
I was rapidly losing consciousness at this point and my last memory before sleeping into a deep slumber is texting my brother's friend. (They have been like a mentor slash friend [?] to me following my brother's suicide). I was feeling very peaceful and all of it felt very comfortable, there wasn't so much as an ounce of unpleasantness (again, not necessarily pleasant either - it's a very neutral feeling but largely peaceful.) Now contrast this with SN, which had been my preferred method previously. You have to have antiemetics purely because of how terrible it tastes, people feel at least slightly disturbed after ingestion and they don't exactly get to pass away feeling peaceful and content. You actually have to deal with SI even after taking them and I am just so confused as to why fentanyl wouldn't be preferred over it given just how potent and lethal it is?
I lost consciousness at around 3.45 and would have certainly died if my mother hadn't immediately rushed me to the hospital (now, this wasn't exactly a pretty sight - I was puking blood and foaming at my mouth but this wouldn't be anyone's concern if they were to CTB with fentanyl as they would have already lost consciousness by now).
I can say confidently that fentanyl is my preferred method now and although life is absolutely unbearable and horrendous I can at the very least take comfort in knowing that I have an extremely peaceful method I can resort to (very, very similar to how I imagine it would feel being in possession of nembutal)
So anyways I guess my purpose in posting this was to generate a discussion on this method. I'm legitimately confused as to why it's not used more often? Accessibility? But then again SN is also being cracked down upon. So yeah. Can't really tell.
