went cold turkey a few years back, can't even remember when exactly. Worst 13 days of my life coming off of it. No sleep, county jail, bright lights that never really go off. Noises. Near psychosis just from the withdrawal. Over the years I did them all, started way back in the day with percocet. but yeah, fentanyl as much as it is the devil - it actually saved my life because it was so awful of an experience detoxing that I'm clean now. God bless you brother I pray for many years of sobriety for you.

Fentanyl surprisingly indirectly got me to stop using cocaine casually.

One of the guys in our neighborhood that I used to party with didn't quit and he's dead now because he got a batch cut with fent. Could have been me.

Tranq is the reason I recently quit. I was originally a true heroin addict. The fentanyl didn't do it for me. But the tranq and benzo dope was so good it scared the hell out of me. There's nothing like it. But I started getting sick with infections constantly and had a small hole appear on my leg and was told the only way it wouldn't get bigger was if I stopped. The withdrawal is impossible to control as well. It's not like opioid withdrawal
@blakeolinger12205 ай бұрын
Very intense withdrawal and quick onset. The only way to avoid it is to get back on oxycodone for several days and then on subs. The oxycodone will do nothing to get you high but will make the withdrawal bearable. I had to do this myself because I was doing oxycodone for years and made the mistake of doing the cheaper fake M stamp fent blues for several months. I have never experienced withdrawal like that before. It was literally unbearable. I had to do several hundred dollars worth of oxycodone daily and then make the transition to subutex because the subs are not only useless for fent, but will throw you into acute withdrawal (subutex, not suboxone) if you do it within 48 hours of the fake shit. It almost made me suicidal because of how much fear I had for the withdrawal.

Harm reduction works but only for users that have a safe supply of weaker drugs and who want to get off. Things have escalated to where that is a very small portion of iv drug users now. I think cleaning up the supply would make safe supply more effective by getting people on weaker drugs but so were so deep into fent now that if they aren't using fent (which is a small portion of users) they probably want fent because its stronger. Along with the increase in users from legalization none of it is worth it.

He got ahold of some cocaine one Friday night w/ another buddy of his, just wanting to party a little bit, & shake off the work week (it wasn't a frequent thing for him, at all). It was laced w/ Fentanyl. His roommates found him, the next AM- his buddy was dead & he was in a coma. His family pulled the plug a few days later, when it was clear that he no longer had any brain function from lack of oxygen. This happened quite awhile ago, & I still think of him all the time.

two years ago one of my childhood friends overdosed on fent. He flew out to LA to meet a producer with hopes to make some movement in his rap career. The guy flaked on him, and took his money. Nothing is confirmed at least to me how everything went down, but we believe he went through some type of anxiety attack on the other side of the country with no one around to help at all. He insisted on going alone even though he would have had at least one of us there if the trip was a week later. The last IG story he posted was about him being around 'designer drugs' which I guess meant more than typical stuff he had access to. He called one of my other best friends at around 2 am, and passed away sometime shortly after. 20 years old, alone in a LA hotel room, couldn't even enjoy a drink legally. It feels like someone had been taken from us. I sometimes still cant process it.

Even if they're 100% in it for themselves, it still doesn't make sense (to me.) I guess they're trying, they put money into it, but you'd think -- again from the rancher/cattle cynical perspective, if your milk is shorting, you'd stop whatever bug is killing them. More people = more brain = more production = better lifestyle. It's not like we have a shortage of worms, that the chickens eat, that the people eat, they're pretty cheap to maintain and do it themselves, you'd think real greed would mean protective over the flock. The not caring thing seems more like nihilism. But again, to self-refute, they have dumped a lot of money into stopping it, and it's made a dent.

I remember having first heard about fent in middle school, sometime around 2012. By freshman year of high school, six of my friends had overdosed. I graduated, senior year, and out of a circle of 14 friends who did all sorts of dumb shit, only 3 of us got out alive, and the entire experience managed to kick us into getting sober. Fent is horrifying. The rate at which it went from this new thing everyone was talking about to killing hundreds of people annually within my small town was insane. For the friends who haven't broken their habits, I wish you all the best. Addiction is a disease, but nothing like that is worth your life. Safe Travels.

Hes since moved across the country to better his life but in the past 2 years nothing about his lifestyle has changed. He says hes clean but hes lied to me so many times that i cant trust his word. Im worried sick about him constantly. If i think about him i cant sleep. Seeing all of the comments about sobriety has made me feel a little bit better, like there might be hope for him.

This is quite an inaccurate description unfortunately. I’m a veterinarian so I’m very familiar with xylazine. I’ve never seen it used in horses (they tend to get detomidine or romfidine): Xylazine is the standard drug used for sedating cattle. The reason is gives people sores isn’t because “the body’s trying to get rid of it because it’s so toxic”. It’s because of its basic pharmacological action i.e. alpha-2 adrenergic agonism. This gets a little complex, so try and follow: Adrenaline (and its close sibling noradrenaline) is released by nerves to the next nerve in a chain when you’re stressed etc. When you activate alpha-2 receptors, it prevents the release of noradrenaline from that nerve: I.e., it has a sedative effect. However: alpha-2 receptors also control peripheral vasoconstriction, so when you inject a drug that causes alpha-2 activation all the blood vessels in your arms and legs will constrict, cutting off blood flow to them. This is actually kind of important, because alpha-2 activation causes your heart rate to plummet and without that vasoconstriction you’d pretty much die from hypotension/circulatory shock. But this is what causes the sores, because your limbs are being habitually starved of blood supply. It’s not a problem if you dose up a calf with xylazine once or a cat or dog with medetomidine (a closely-related but gentler drug) once or a few times, but doing it over and over again.. not a good idea. Incidentally, I wouldn’t even give xylazine to a cat or dog. We only give it to cattle because they’re hardcore and can basically take anything. It’s a nasty-ass drug (and I’m pretty comfortable giving patients fentanyl: you just have to dose it very carefully and only give it as a CRI). Don’t do that shit.

They were able to convince him to at least take Narcan with him as he left. A few hours later in my same shift, he came back and ended up dying of an OD.

I can relate, I grew up with a narccisitic uncaring mother and cruel and abusive drunk father in one household. That's exactly how I described heroin to a friend who asked. I said it was like getting a warm loving hug. It can happen to anyone but particularly those who have been abused. One hit takes away all that trauma. In the end my addiction left me with more trauma because of what I had to do to keep it going and the lowest lows I even experienced. God save me during a bad withdrawal. I don't go to church or anything just practice like Jesus said, giving it charity and loving the Father with all your heart. I hope you and that person have found that our real Father is the most loving caring person who owns everything and will take care of us if we take shelter in him.

The life of addiction is wild. everyone has ways to cope with it to stay sober and i hope that everyone whos strugglings finds a little hope in life to urge them to get sober and make strides into succeeding.

The parents failed to teach their kids self control so they take upon themselves. Weak.

@@ninakore Parent's should absolutely not be down for their kids doing blow. That said, you don't know that their parent's didn't teach them self control or teach them not to drugs. I mean in some cases maybe they didn't, but it depends on so many factors, like the specific kid and his specific situation, where he grew up, etc. I know you're not a parent since you lack the intelligence and lack the understanding of being a parent. I mean how many parents raised their kids almost perfectly yet their kids did drugs and made all kinds of mistakes in their life? It's safe to say that happens quite often. Any parent knows that you only have so much control, and that's unfortunate because as a parent you love your children and want them to do well. That said, raising your kids right gives them a much better chance at not making these mistakes. I don't know if you were trolling with your comment or you were serious, because there are so many stupid comments on youtube that you could have actually been serious. You just are missing so much in your understanding of this, which is why if you lack the intelligence and understanding you likely shouldn't comment, and that's not me being mean, just being realistic. Anyway, I think I educated you enough, and I hope you learned something. In fact if you want to show some strength instead of your typical weakness, either don't respond or really learn something here from your mistakes. You seemed to be a bit lost and in need of a lesson. I put a lot of time into helping people I don't know, which you may not agree with, but some people are realistic and listen and improve themselves, especially when listening to someone at a higher level than them with much more intelligence, so think about that and don't let your ego get involved. I spent a lot of time helping you here, so don't send some stupid message back or I won't bother reading it. If you really pay attention here, then i'm cool to talk about it.

You can educate your children as much as you want. You can send them into any situation prepared in case somebody else f**** up. If they are actually educated they won't do it but they will be there for anybody else that does. The message you sent them will be learned over and over again if that's the case. The worst case scenario is that they are not educated. That's when it's time for us as parents need really be worried

My son had been working dope for years. He says it’s wack a mole. Very common for officers and even their dogs to get dangerously overdosed. People with no history of exposure can die from very small doses. It’s why kids die but the addicts survive. I’m so glad he’s out of it now.

Shane's last observation is spot on regarding the geography of the epidemic. It is nothing more than a form of terrorism - chemicals from China, manufactured in Mexico, unleashed on North America. Philadelphia alone saw 1400 overdose deaths last year, but all we heard about was COVID, as foreign entities assassinated nearly 75,000 U.S. citizens in a single year.

I am an addict in recovery. I have been sober a little over a year now. I lost the love of my life and father of my son due to the consequences of this disease in April. The fentanyl epidemic is rampant and a huge threat to our country. In my opinion, this was an orchestrated diabolical conspiracy placed upon the United States. If we are to beat this then there NEEDS to be reform to the system. I am here to testify that addicts can and DO recover! We just need the proper support and programs to do so!

Just drove down Hastings Street in Vancouver on Friday early evening. Fires lit, propane tanks set up. Garbage everywhere. Not as many tents as I saw last time, but definitely thousands of addicts and messed up people. You could not pay me to walk down there by myself. People had an open fire outside of a convenience store. I can't imagine having a business or condo down there. It's like a freaking apocalypse down there.
