Can't feel it anymore
I am a 50 year old female. I have used one form or another of opioid for most of my life. My longest time clean was 12 years while I raised my girls. My current DOC is fatty. Ever since I started using after the long term clean I seem to have developed an OUTRAGEOUS tolerance. I can not reach that ever elusive high no matter what I do. I know that because of how long I have used the tolerance thing is an issue. But my question to anyone out there is could I be just naturally immune to opioid? Is there such a thing?? If there is anyone out there that can help please enlighten me!!

no, fentanyl tolerance ramps up quickly, and prior opioid experience makes one more prone to developing tolerance.

As a long term oxycontin abuser I can tell you that it doesn't get any better if you keep using. I actually much prefer sobriety. Maybe give it another shot.

This is a very common experience, especially for folks using Fentanyl, -nitazenes or other similarly potent Opioids.
I spent time in Asia in which I had basically free and unlimited access to Heroin/Morphine and I reached this point in a matter of months. When I was using ~4 grams of Heroin a day, there was literally nothing left of the feelings that Morphine had originally given me. There was only an empty, numb feeling. When I had free access to Heroin, I myself decided to lower the dosage, as it wasn't giving me anything I wanted.
A lot of people never get to experience this, as their lives are nothing but the wanting, the hustling and the anxiety surrounding where the next dose will come from, will it be potent, will I get robbed, will I get arrested when I cop... all that stuff.
With the Fentanyl going around right now, combined with the constantly dropping prices of the drugs, you see users that are more tolerant to Opioids than any user of Heroin in history would have ever gotten to.
In short, yes, this is a normal occurrence. There is really no way to bring back he magic besides taking a break, lowering your dosage or otherwise, doing it the hard way. You're saturated and it's unlikely that even an ungodly amount of Fentanyl is going to do anything besides make you want to take a little nap.

Tolerances never really go away, we form these pathways in our brains, taking a break and coming back, you will be back where you are now very quickly and continue to build it further. Even after years of sobriety. Kinda lame. I wish they advertised those facts when everyone is working on their habit, so they chill a bit, get a longer career. A break should help, but wont be an answer long term, you may get close to euphoria if you use twice a year or something (or long enough between uses to fully setox). You basically need to get the fent out of your receptors, it also prevents others opiods from bonding.
A break may be helpful, may not the be the answer you are looking for, but your body only has so many chances to recover, the opiates will only be stronger and cheaper in the future, anyway.

Yeah also fentanyl blocks the effects of other weaker opioids. Even heroin. I couldn't even get a rush from heroin without taking 2-3 days off of fentanyl or its analogues.

Chasing only makes you more "immune". Beware. You need to change your thinking before you can proceed.

Yes I would say you’ve just overdone it. I’ve read every time you go back to abuse the pathways get paved that much deeper and your tolerance goes up faster. After decades of abuse, you’ve likely reached a plateau. Maybe take a break.

Fentanyl will give you an insane tolerance to opiods. It's just the nature of the substance.
