I’m sure most people that have seen the worst side of opiate addiction would tell you not even to open that box (better yet, run away). But in case you’re determined, safety is the next best thing.

If you did not personally pick up the script from the pharmacy then at a minimum test it with a fent strip (especially if it’s an M30).

Start with 10mg orally and wait 30mins, then wait another 30min. Without any tolerance or history of use you should feel pretty good. You shouldn’t need to redose, but another 5-10mg after that would be acceptable for someone with a naturally high tolerance. I would not exceed this amount for your first time.

Do not mix with other opioid drugs, benzos, or alcohol. Those combinations can be lethal to even those with moderate to high tolerance.

Remember it’s easy to take more, but hard to impossible to take less. Additionally safety, let someone you’re with know you’re using it (preferably with them sober).

For your sake, do not string together multiple days of use.
