Thats wild. My brother died of this ~5 years ago and my dad called it a modern day plague at the time. It feels weird using that terminology now with COVID around but it was an apt description.

Yep all thanks for Big Pharma and their lust for greed. We need to destroy Big Pharma and start over. People deserve better but profit over patients is the way.

It's the profiting part that throws that reason off. If it was about profit, giving him more medication would make them more money.

Yes, but because they are an individual, it's ultimately up to their own judgement whether they prescribe something or not.

Fair enough. I am curious if he has more specifics for his situation tho. I tried upping my opioids and they added Ibuprofen instead. Which is fine.

Hes probably pissy because he wanted benzodiazepines for his anxiety and his psychiatrist (wisely) did not prescribe it to him due to its addictive profile and poor long term outcomes.

China mostly. Then bring it in to the US through whatever channels they regularly use.

Had a friend and roommate die from it, his pills were cut. Another friend of mine found him on the bathroom floor. Really fucked him up.

Think I know four people that have died from it, kinda glad I lost touch with those guys. Im not sure I want to know how things turned out for everyone.

It is here tho. Plus prescribing something is different than having a professional administer it. They don't prescribe fentynal right? I feel like I would of heard about that.

The problem with fentanyl is because manufacturers overseas are less regulated, so cartels in Mexico and elsewhere are able to get it wholesale and they cut their street drugs with it.

In a clinical setting, I administer fentanyl on a daily basis for a lot of anesthesia cases. It's a great drug when used appropriately.

Making blanket statements of the evils of fentanyl are just misguided. No one doubts the street problem, but it's a tool and in inpatient medicine, it's a very good one at that.

That's my exact sentiments. Even as someone with a wild tolerance that can walk around normal on a troubling amount of opioids. Fentynal scares the fuck out of me.
