    My mother just passed away from stomach and bone cancer. Very, very painful disease. The only thing that could touch her pain and give her pain free days was Fentanyl. Liquid morphine, Dilaudid or Oxycodone would only bring her pain down to maybe a 7 out of 10. Fentanyl is a very dangerous drug but definitely has a place in modern medicine. I do not know why anyone would choose to do this drug recreationally because it pretty much incapacitates you from doing anything other than laying around, but for a terminally ill patient Fentanyl is a god-send.

      I was a heroin/fentanyl addict. Basically, when people's tolerances get so crazy out of hand they search out fentanyl over heroin because it's much stronger. Today, there is so much fentanyl out there sold as heroin, which is what is killing everyone. It's not as euphoric as heroin, but fentanyl definitely feels really good still.

      lol someone clearly has no idea what they're talking about. just because your mom took a medication doesn't mean you know anything about it... its just a coincidence that other opiates didnt work for her, i guarantee it was a dosage or personal issue...fentanyl is dosed in a way that its literally a joke compared to IVing street heroin or something else strong, yes you will be "knocked out" or w.e but same with anyone who takes any opiate with no tolerance, once you do have a tolerance fentanyl is basically unusable unless you IV it. taking it thru patches isnt going to hurt or kill anyone with a tolerance. but really no point explaining opiates to kids on youtube who will never understand

    When my wife was dying of cancer fentanyl was the pain medicine she used. I put a patch on her shoulder that was 25 micrograms. That was 3 days of medication. I had to use gloves when putting it on her and wash my hands directly after. It was a great drug. Watching someone in their 30’s wish for death from pain is not something I care to repeat.

    Fentanyl is AMAZING for pain. A few months back I dislocated my shoulder and was in such extreme pain that even just the weight of my own arm would bring me to tears (i have a fairly high pain tolerance so thats really saying something) I was given fentanyl nasally (not sure the doaage, but it worked just like any nose spray) and within minutes my pain was completely gone. I didnt even feel the doctor pop it back into place. If used properly and safely, it can be amazingly helpful for those experiencing extreme pain. On the flip side, its incredibly dangerous if used improperly. Never abuse fentanyl.

      These people that are dying from it should never be taken it in the first place. But the government has made it to where we don't have any other options!! If they need hydrocodone or oxycodone it would have fixed the problem but the government is doing this to us! 80% of people cannot get the pain medication they needed including me and we have massive need and medical documentation saying it's necessary! But the government makes it to where are doctors can't give us what we need! So the drug dealers are in cartels just stepped in to fill the supply and demand in the only one able to do that is the fentanyl cuz everything else is ten times the price and hard to make! You know what as long as cigarettes and alcohol are still legal I think our government should shut the hell up and stop trying to tell us how to run our bodies! They don't have our interests in mind for one damn second it's all about lining their pockets! How many people have alcohol and tobacco killed in the last week! This is all just one big gaslight for the government taking our rights away and telling us what to do with our own body!the government doesn't want fentanyl here because nobody's going to buy oxycodone and dilaudid for $80 a pill if they can get fentanyl for $3 a pill. It is literally that simple!!

    Dear Joe. I had Fentanyl patches for back pain. It was wonderful, so much relief so fast. One day while changing my patch, I stuck (stupid) the new patch on the tip of my tongue. Fentanyl must have gotten into my system. My wife tells me she heard a boom in the cellar and came down to find me flat on the floor, blood coming from my forehead which I had bashed falling down face first. When I woke up in hospital, they told me I was technically dead when the ambulance came. I had no blood pressure, no heartbeat and was not breathing. It seems the EMR's revived me after four tries with the defibrillator and assisted breathing. I don't remember a thing besides waking up in the ER with doctors staring at me. In September 2016, I died. Thanks to the EMR's and doctors, I'm back. I will never touch fentanyl again. It is just too dangerous but for some extreme pain, it works wonders, but only in a hospital. Sincerely, The man who died and rose again.

I know a lot of people that abused it and eventually quit but will no longer be the same. When I started it I realized that I was making a life long decision.

    I spent many years working in compounding pharmacy and used to prepare fentanyl (as well as sufentanil and carfentanil) in several dosage forms for people afflicted with cancer and other debilitating conditions with severe pain. These molecules absolutely have legitimate medical uses and I have witnessed this first hand in patients and their improvement in quality of life. The problem is with all of the clandestine preparation (e.g. illicit Chinese labs) and ease of access to these compounds in the street through those illicit channels. The general public does not understand just how potent and dangerous these molecules can be and certainly at the tiny amount which can cause an opioid naive individual to overdose.

      Man good for you!! But from a guy i know he tells me you never stop craving or thinking about it. I told him thats because he hangs around guys that still use it. He told me even when he speaks to his father a single word can make him think it. Like "bottle" or "do you wanna drink juice" , even a spoon makes him think about it.

      @@format.c5930 Hanging around with people who still use/talk about using is probably a big part of it. I no longer get cravings, but I suppose some times I will see something that reminds me of when I used to use but it's not a craving and there's no desire to use there. Anything in our life that we have memories of can be brought to the forefront of our mind with the right circumstances. When I first got clean I stopped hanging out with everyone I knew who used and I would make myself watch movies where people would use so that I could learn to handle the "triggers". It worked for me, but everyone is different.
      People say that a lot btw. That "we'll think about it for the rest of our lives!", but that's just defeatist and part of the addict mindset. I mean, you could think about anything you've ever done for "the rest of your life". Games you played as kids, friends you had, etc. Not just drugs. At a certain point, the fear of what a relapse would do to you will overcome your desire to use and that's when the real freedom begins. It takes a long, long, long time. Tell your friend to look up "the hedonic treadmill". It will help him to understand the way his brain's dopamine systems have been rewritten so to speak. The brain is called neuroplastic for a reason. We can undo most of the damage, maybe not all of it, but most of it. I hope he get's better.
      Ultimately, thinking about when you used to use and craving to go out and use are two completely different things. In the beginning it's just harder to see the distinction. The gap gets wider the farther away from it you get. And eventually, it's just a bad memory. To me, it feels like a dream (or rather nightmare) that I woke up from. And it's even hard to recall like a dream is. It's all fuzzy when I look back. Damn, if you made it this far into this than thanks. Don't know why I poured out all that.

Today, I'm doing between 37.5mg to a 50mg patch a day and I am spending about £300 a week buying peoples scripts and I wouldn't wish my addiction on anybody. My doctor says if I don't stop, I'll be dead in 12-18 months if I don't overdose first. This is the first year I've tried to stop and I've relapsed about 8-9 times.

And Another piece of information which is true is that a person Detoxing from Alcohol can Die. People detoxing from opioids can’t. I broke Three toes 6 months ago and I could hardly walk. And I went to the ER and I got a prescription for Diclofenac which is a anti inflammatory. And I’m tired of hearing that drug addicts are breaking their limbs on purpose to get pain Medication. That’s Bullshit as well. Since you’re a Doctor explain this?? And if you reply your going to use some reasoning like people get hooked on pain medication and then they get shut off and go to Heroin.

    Hi Joe-
    I’m a chronic pain patient that depends on fentanyl in an intrathecal pain pump and in Duragesic fentanyl patches. Fentanyl, along with hydromorphone and oxycodone, helped save my life and it’s an essential part of the medication regimen that allows me to function fairly highly - I am able to rehearse, record, gig and tour with The Dissidents and engineer, mix and produce other bands. The fact that fentanyl is potent but not sedating is fantastic. Opioids help lots of people like myself. To pain patients, opioids are akin to insulin for diabetics. But we’re caught in the crossfire of the crackdown on the “opioid epidemic.” Many pain patients are losing their physicians and insurance companies aren’t covering all or part of our medications.
    My heart goes out to people who have lost their loved ones to opioids and to addicts who have had their lives wrecked by their prescription opioid abuse. But people who truly need opioid pain medication should not suffer due to the crackdown on opioids. In the national discussion about prescription drug abuse, pain patients also need to have our voices heard - we can give a unique perspective on using opioids for what they are designed. Thanks to Hamilton Morris for a rational, nuanced explanation about fentanyl and other drugs.
    I love your comedy and podcast, Joe!!
    Peace
    Mike Dubose
    PS: Cannabis is an incredible adjuvant to my medications: it makes the opioids work harder and last longer, has great analgesic properties and helps stimulate my appetite when the pain makes me not want to eat. I wish that I could rely on cannabis alone. Alas, that’s not how my body chemistry works!

    I've been on fentanyl patches for around 12 to 15 years through a pain management clinic. I've had six back of operations. At my worst point I was prescribed all sorts of medication from muscle relaxers to pain pills to depression medication, Etc. Within taking all of this medication I was taking 52 pills a day. That was 18 in the morning 18 and noon and 16 in the evening. I had to be under adult supervision because it was very easy for me to forget that I had already taken my medication and to retake my medication. I was in this stoned state for approximately three years. I have been told that I had done things that I have no recollection of doing and have made so many apologies but behold my family did not accept my apologies. That is something I had to get over. Since then, I have came down tremendously on my medication. I was on 75 mg of fentanyl duragesic patch. My Pain Management Center drop me down to 50 mg and then down to 35 mg which was a 25 mg and a 10 mg patch at the same time. Then I was drop down to 25 mg which I am at presently. I have decided since I am on Percocet, Mobic, Flexeril, which Mobic and flexeril are basically the same being muscle relaxers and also Fentanyl and Xanax. I have decided to try to wean myself off of Fentanyl. I sweat excessively, if I am working outside I would go through 3 shirts soaking wet with sweat in a day's time. I am leaning out with them now trying to get this under control. I have stopped taking my Fentanyl patches for 3 weeks now and I am still going through withdrawals. My stomach stays tore up and I am also trying to fight through the pain. I have been on narcotic medication for approximate 28 years and I am 50 years old so more than half of my life. Everyday that I have been off the patch has been a struggle. My pain management centers stated that if I came out the patch that he would increase my Percocet by two extra tablets per day so that is what I'm going for. I'm taking Percocet, duragesic fentanyl patches, Mobic, Xanax, Etc. I was 90 mme. I am not getting off of fentanyl because of being scared of death but instead I am getting off a bit because every third day I go through withdrawals freezing and sweating at the same time or feeling that my skin is on fire oh, that's the worst feeling. my feet also feel like they are on fire but that is from the neuropathy in my lower legs and feet. I wish that fentanyl was never invented or proscribed. Since I have stopped taking it I've been in bed for 3 weeks now and that really sucks. I do not know if I will continue to stay off the patch because I am in quite a lot of pain without it. people who abuse fentanyl has made it extremely rough for those of us who actually need it

The problem is of course the addiction, the access to the drug, and the amount they use. Btw, I don't prescribe fentanyl.

      Where? And for how long has Midazolam been used for surgeries there? This much better than using long lasting benzodiazepines.

    the reason I, as a medical professional, use transmucosal fentanyl is if someone has allergies or reactions to morphine. morphine suppresses your respiratory drive and some people also have normal reactions (with lots of opiods) like a terrible burning sensation, akin to the feeling of heartburn. the onset of effects is much greater with fentanyl, thus a higher chance of fatal overdose. 1/4 of a milligram is a normal dose vs 10 mg per ml with morphine.

    I watched this podcast after watching the one on Kratom they are both very interesting, being that as a teen I was hit head on by a drunk driver which left with me with a laundry list of lifelong issues, one being serious constant pain. My pain management Dr and surgeons agreed a combination of Fentanyl patches and Oxy would be what would work best for me....maybe so. However they had me taking 200mcg Fentanyl transdermal patches to be changed every 48 hours along with up to 13 30mg Oxy tablets PER DAY! I found out someone I had been close friends with ten years previous was found dead with a 15mcg Fentanyl patch in her mouth. I decided I needed to do something different right away. Funny thing was none of the Dr’s who put me on these literally lethal doses of pain meds and kept me on them for over 6 years would help me get off of them. So I did it the hard way by myself. Even using Kratom and trying to wean off slowly I was seriously sick with withdrawals for a year and a half, I’ve never suffered medication withdrawals like that in my entire life nor even when I stopped using illegal substances shortly after the accident. IT WAS HELL. I’m now taking Kratom, yes I’m in a lot of pain but I don’t pry every night when I go to bed that I’ll get to see another tomorrow. Fentanyl should be reserved for only for those who truly need it and will likely NEVER have to suffer going off of it, and most definitely ONLY accept it in the lowest dose possible. I didn’t know any better then, I believed in my Dr’s...now I do my research.

    The reason stronger opiates are made and prescribed is for patients in extreme pain who have developed a tolerance. Without these stronger substances some patients would be in extreme pain with no way to treat them once their tolerance reaches a certain point. When prescribed appropriately these can be used to offer patients a good quality of life that they would never be able to achieve without medication. Fentanyl transdermal patches with morphine for breakthrough pain made the difference between living as close to "normal " as possible for my brother before he passed away from head and neck cancer. He battled almost 4 years and without the pain medication he would have contemplated suicide due to the pain. It's hard for people to understand how anyone could possibly need something so potent but patients in the worst conditions require these meds sometimes. Abuse should not be tolerated but punishing legitimate pain patients is what is happening due to the stigma associated with taking or prescribing opiates now. Cancer patients to chronic pain sufferers are having their medications decreased after years of being on them. Doctors know opiates produce a tolerance effect and require increasing dosages to provide the same relief yet they are ignoring that basic fact and now handle pain patients with kid gloves. It's a shame that the doctor/ patient relationship has been changed so much due to abuse by some.

It sure has a role in medical care, that said it is a shame that it gets in the wrong hands for ilegal distributtion.
