About Fentanyl Use & Addiction

Fentanyl is an opioid that is most often used as a pain medication. It can be injected, worn as a patch, dissolved through the mouth, or sprayed through the nose and is sometimes used to treat patients with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to other opioids.

While it’s considered the synthetic cousin of heroin, it’s around 50 times more powerful than heroin. This makes fentanyl extremely dangerous and easy to accidentally overdose on. According to the New York Times, deaths due to fentanyl more than doubled from 2015 to 2016, killing more people than heroin, prescription opioids, cocaine, and meth.

The Dangers of Fentanyl

Symptoms

A fentanyl high has a rapid onset and comes with a high risk for fentanyl addiction and dependence. When a person experiences a fentanyl high, they usually go through feelings such as:

Calmness and relaxation.
An overall warming sensation.
Reduced pain
A feeling of euphoria.

Dangers & Effects of Fentanyl Use

Because of its potency, fentanyl is easy for most people to want to use more than once and its high can lead to fentanyl abuse. In addition to being extremely dangerous, fentanyl use comes with short-term and long-term side effects like:

Short-term effects include:

Nausea
Constipation
Fatigue
Confusion
Muscle stiffness
Dizziness
Itching or sweating

Long-term effects include:

Respiratory issues
Low blood pressure
Depression
Increased risk of organ damage.
Gastrointestinal issues
Delusions or hallucinations

Withdrawal Symptoms from Fentanyl Use

Like other opioids, fentanyl changes the chemistry in the brain and can cause users to develop a dependence on the drug. Because fentanyl is so dangerous, fentanyl withdrawal treatment is very important for abusers. Once they stop using the drug without professional help, users may experience:

Agitation
Tremors
Nausea and/or vomiting
Diarrhea
Anxiety
Fever and/or chills
Loss of appetite
