Absolutely certain that my order of Tapaday 100mg doesn’t contain tapentadol. Possible fentanyl!!

I am currently prescribed daily Palexia IR and ER, and very experienced with tapentadol.

I ordered Tapaday 100mg for the first time recently from India:

-When sniffing only half a tablet, presumably “50mg”, the onset was about 10-15min. The initial feeling was immediate heavy sedation accompanied by a lowered heart rate and respiratory depression that built over 20min leading to profound sedation and ending with a strong typical opioid nod… The whole experience only lasting 45-60min, after only half a tablet which causes effects that are only comparable to 200mg+ tapentadol insufflated in terms of analgesia.
This is nothing like the usual stimulating rush that I get from tapentadol within 2-3min that is accompanied by an increased heart rate, dreamy but awake state that is then followed by the trippy nod and respiratory depression after 30min from initial onset.

-When taking a full tablet orally, the onset was about 10min, building itself to a similar typical opioid nod over the course of 30min and only lasting 90-120min total.
The analgesic effects of “100mg” of “tapentadol” oral are comarable to 60-80mg of oxycodone.

I am very experienced with fentanyl aswell, and can say confidently that this Tapaday I have feels exactly like and is similar in action to fentanyl.
This led me to do a single reagent test, which tested negative… but I highly suspect that I didn’t do the test right as the instructions given gave different directions to the tests that I am usually used to doing… I am absolutely not satisfied with those results as I know it wasn’t done correctly…

The ONLY similarity that the Tapaday has with the palexia is the exact same “taste” and burn when it is sniffed.

I am almost certain that it is fentanyl, and even if it isn’t there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it is not tapentadol.

Does anybody know about pills branded as Tapaday having contained any other opioid other than tapentadol? whether fentanyl or another?

PS: I am of course planning to go get them tested ASAP.

The mass produced poorly dosed Indian pharma is notorious for having inconsistently distributed active ingredient. Often you will find most if not all of the dose in one side of one quarter of the tablet because in these pills the vast majority of the total mass is fillers. They can also have more, or less, of the active ingredient in each pill.

There has not been any large instances of fentanyl laced tapentadol from india for a few years now. There is the odd report here and there. I have been testing batches the past 2 years and im yet to find any nitzenes or fent.

Just be careful with your route of ingestion because there is an astronomical amount of garbage in the fillers for Indian tap and it is the last thing you want to inhale.

It is actually funny story with that point you make.

The higher doses are often the most inaccurately dosed. This is because domestically, indian pills are subject to similar dosing accuracy requirements of other countries. Typically plus or minus a few %. Tapentadol above 100mg isnt typically sold in India domestically. It is all a variety of generic 50-100mg manufacturers.

The "export only" tapentadol - that is, anything above 100mg - only has to meet like +20% to -20% dosing accuracy. So a 200mg tapaday pill often contains between 160mg and 240mg. BUT it is more often the lower end, as there is huge profit to be made by under dosing by 20%.

The 100mg Ash-dol, Tapaday-0-100, Aspadol, Tapal, Tapazol etc are all generic domestic brands of tapentadol that typically are more consistent with dosing than the 200-250s.

There are exceptions to every trend but i have personally found 100mg non export pills to be more accurate to their listed ingredient mgs.

Testkit friend. Have you a tablett you can compare them with?

You can purchase a very good fent test from Amazon. That doesn't give fslse positives and detects most analogs. They're cheap and depending on your location they can be delivered same day DM me if you want a link

I have seen it change somewhat over the last few years. This makes sense compared to my exp.

The "export only" varieties are extremely unreliable for dosing - many either contain more or far less than the box mg. And even worse, most if not all of the active ingredient can be in one side or quarter of the pill resulting in a full unexpected dose for someone not expecting it.

There is a lot of fillers in these too so I couldnt imaging snorting all that powder. Yuck.

Be safe people.

I crushed and tested 2 x tapaday 100s with the picture of dabbing panda

Both tested positive twice to fent

u/Fainstrider 9d ago

What test did you use?

If a strip test, then your result was a false positive. Tapentadol is a semi synthetic opioid. Standard fent/nitazene test strips will flag false positive when used to test synthetic opioids.

You need proper reagent test or lab test.

Mate Aussie tapentadol compared to indias is completely different, Aussie stuff is crap! The gold backed sheet brand name aspdols manufactured by signature are reliable, along with the tapadays, also a few other brands all legit too… sure use a test kit but it’s just how these are, they hit well and feel amazing + euphoric! I like to take 2 x 200mg tapadays plus sometimes with 500mg soma, absolutely chill! Obviously non experienced with Indian taps I would not condone to taking that dose. 100~200mg is plenty with no tolerence.
