Drug overdose has always been a danger as long as drugs have existed, but as technology has advanced and new drugs have come onto the market, overdose deaths have increased. Overdoses and poisonings are the third leading cause of death in children and adolescents 19 years old and younger. There is one particular opioid that is deadlier than the rest, with a lethal dose of only 2mg: Fentanyl. Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine, and the slightest miscalculation in the measurement of its dosage can be fatal.

  • Was addict to fentanyl for 5 years after being prescribed it for many many years. Eventually began injecting. Clean since 2019. I’m blessed to be alive.

    A buddy of mine smoked Fentanyl daily, went to jail for about 5 months, got released, his dad picked him up at the gate, took him to the connect for his first fix,, his dad found him in the back seat of his van Dead, just 1-2 hours after getting released from Jail..

    Drugs are no joke. I have a friend who’s company owner semi-recently overdosed on fentanyl laced Xanax after a night partying. Up until this point, he carved out a very nice life and successful company. Thankfully he didn’t die, but due to lack of oxygen killed like 99% of his hippocampus, which is responsible for memory. It’s pure insanity, you’ll have a normal conversation with him for about 30 seconds which he’ll basically factory resets where he’ll be like “oh hey! Nice to see you man!”. He has perfect memory up until Nov 2022, which is the time zone he’s stuck in. He essentially will live out the rest of his life in 30s-1m loops. He went from successful business man, to living under his parents care forever. Lost it all. Over the past several months he’s very slowly come to terms-sorta with what happened. But the loops never end and most likely never will. Careful out there guys

    I am DEATHLY allergic to Fentanyl. First learned this when I was using Fentanyl patches before I had a hysterectomy. My mom found me in the floor in full Aphletic shock, convulsing, by the time the EMS got there, I was in full blown heart & choking on my own vomit. Miraculously, i survived. In 2017, I had to get a hernia removed. I told everyone at the hospital I was deathly allergic to Fentanyl but everyone just laughed at me. (Granted back then, no one even knew it was possible to be allergic to Fentanyl. I was given Fentanyl anyway & went into a deadly reaction there on the table. They pumped me full of Benedril to stop the reaction, but it took so much that it dried my insides out. Another fun fact - It takes about $0.20 worth of Fentanyl to put a 250 lb. under for 3 hours, yet anesthesiologist charge up to $1500 just for 1 administration.

    Fentanyl killed my boyfriend, the father of my 1 year old son last year in September. Fentanyl also killed my boyfriend’s father a couple years ago. Fentanyl has basically ruined my life.

    Its a shame that fentanyl got so popular on the streets and our justice system, media, and others are so ignorant in how they handle it. The drug itself is an amazing tool for chronic pain sufferers. When prescribed the patch it was so effective and convenient and tolerance didnt seem to increase very fast if at all. You could just put a patch on at perscribed times 2 times a day and your pain was handled and quality of life improved dramatically. Now chronic pain suffers had to go back to inferior medicines.

    I work at a rehab and it’s very humbling. Tranq is a new beast
  • @ryanboyer3926
    My brother passed two years ago ,from a fentanyl overdose. Only 36😢
  • @dfdemt
    I absolutely hate videos like this, but not for the reason you might think. As a medical professional, I have seen the demonization of fentanyl scare doctors enough to the point that even people that are in excruciating pain such as cancer patients can’t get a prescription for it to alleviate their suffering. And the doctors aren’t scared of people who actually need the medication overdosing, they’re scared of being arrested and put in jail. So because of this demonization of fentanyl in the United States, more and more people are suffering needlessly.

    Fentanyl got me moving like a claymation figure

    A few years ago I had to take my husband to the ER. Behind us was a mom with her teenage daughter who had clearly overdosed on something. The mom said her friends brought her home like this. A nurse was walking around when she saw the girl and had the mom immediately take her back. The friends should have called 911. If they were scared they could have just left her on the sidewalk, called 911 and let dispatch know what happened and what drugs. Usually when I’m prescribed a narcotic I rarely take it. If I can tolerate the pain, I’ll tolerate it. A little bit of pain is worth not going down the wrong path of addiction.
  • I want to say that an overdose is a lot more scary than they make it out to be, most of the time you close your eyes and go to sleep and next thing you know their lips are turning blue and they are pale and unresponsive, absolutely no warning before hand that anything is wrong, and what’s even worse is for most IV users a lot of times they “nodd off” or pass out basically so for someone on the outside looking in it could look just like every other time they have used untill they turn blue.. and it’s the most helpless feeling in the world looking at a friend that was just talking now blue in the face on the brink of death not answering you and you don’t have the naloxone. Drugs are not fun at all, only a small percentage makes it out alive. And i know how a lot of people view drug use and a lot of those people have never been directly affected by it and I hope it stays that way for them because this isn’t something I’d wish on anyone and I’ll never wish someone to go thru this just so they understand what drug use really is. So for everyone hating on drug users just be thankful you don’t have to deal with it. And hope you never have to because it changes when it’s your kids, or your parents suffering thru this..
  • Our group always grabs the narcan they hand out at festivals now. Even if there's no way you would need it you could still end up saving someone else.

    Nobody can stop you at the end of the day. But please just know that if somehow you end up on a bad path, it's never too late to change things for the better. You're worth it.
