Other Ways to Stay Safe
- Use less to start. The margin of error is much smaller with fentanyl. Start small so you can find the best dose for you.
- Go slow. Fentanyl acts fast and using slowly gives your body time to adjust, time to see how the dose will hit. Carry naloxone and know how to use it. Let friends know you have naloxone/Narcan, and make sure they know how to use it too.
- Use extra caution if you’re using alone. Using alone means no one is there to respond if you fall out, so double down on other safety strategies, and try to arrange for someone you trust to check in on you. Use one of the Apps below.
- Try snorting or smoking instead of injecting. Switching your “route of administration” can reduce risk of overdose and other harms. Overdose is still possible though, so try to start slow no matter which route you use.
- Use with a group or partner, if possible, stagger turns and make sure you have naloxone and all know how to use it.
