what are some street names for Fentanyl?
China Girl, Friend, Jackpot, and TNT are just some of the common street names for fentanyl.
What Makes Fentanyl Dangerous?
Aside from its potency, fentanyl is also fast-acting. It binds quickly to opioid receptors, which then produces fast pain relief and more intense feelings of euphoria.
The problem with this is that tolerance can also develop very quickly. This means someone who is prescribed fentanyl may feel great with the initial dose but not with the succeeding doses.
It could make that person feel that he or she needs bigger doses to get the same effect, which of course, puts him or her at risk for fentanyl addiction and fentanyl overdose.
What is Fentanyl
Fentanyl is an opioid drug 50 times stronger than heroin and morphine.
How Does Fentanyl Work?
Opioid drugs or opiates bind to the body’s opioid receptors, which are located in many areas of the brain and the nervous system.When opioids bind to these receptors, they can produce feelings of pleasure and relaxation. They can also decrease pain, slow breathing, and stop coughing. Like other opiates, fentanyl’s effects depend on the amount you take and the way it is taken.
What are the different way you can take Fentanyl?
Injections, for example, are fast-acting, while oral (pills) take longer to reach the brain. Fentanyl however, is so powerful, that it can even be absorbed through the skin, making it that much more dangerous.
Prescribed fentanyl is available as an injection, transdermal patch, and lozenge. Fentanyl analogs (those sold on the street), on the other hand, are available as a powder, tablets, mixed with heroin, and spiked on blotter paper
WHAT ARE THE 7 MOST COMMONLY ABUSED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
1. AMPHETAMINES
Amphetamines are stimulants prescribed to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. Adderall, Ritalin, and Dexedrine are brand names of a few popular but highly addictive amphetamines. Some people use them to boost energy and alertness, keep their weight down, and get high. Abusing or misusing these drugs can cause seizures, heart attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, and aggressiveness.
2. HYDROCODONE
Vicodin, Lortab, and Lorcet are three of the most commonly abused prescription drugs in the United States. All three of these drugs combine the opioid hydrocodone — a narcotic medication that acts on the brain to relieve major pain — with acetaminophen, which relieves minor aches and pains and reduces fever.
Taking these drugs in a way not indicated by your doctor can easily lead to addiction. Side effects include slowed breathing, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, unconsciousness, or coma. Combining these drugs with alcohol or other sedatives will increase the risks of these side effects, making this Schedule II narcotic even more dangerous.
3. OXYCODONE
Oxycodone is another form of prescription painkiller that dulls pain if taken as directed but can cause a euphoric high in larger doses. Medications that utilize oxycodone include common options like Percocet, morphine, and OxyContin.
Percocet is typically used to treat moderate to severe pain, combining oxycodone with acetaminophen to target specific opioid receptors and provide feelings of pain relief, relaxation, and euphoria. Morphine is typically prescribed for severe around-the-clock pain that cannot be relieved by any other medications.
OxyContin is a slow-release form of oxycodone. Doctors tend to prescribe it for chronic pain like cancer and arthritis because it lasts for many hours. However, OxyContin is highly addictive and one of the most significant contributors to the opioid pandemic. Addicts often crush the medication to snort or inject it. In this case, instead of the narcotic slowly releasing in small doses over the course of 12 hours, crushing it releases the full amount all at once, which can cause fatal overdoses.
4. CODEINE/COUGH MEDICINE
Prescription cough medicines often contain codeine and strong antihistamines that can affect the central nervous system if taken in more than the recommended dose. Again, abusing opioids — including cough syrup with codeine — is highly addictive and gives the user feelings of pain relief, relaxation, and euphoria. But such abuse can lead to overdose and even death.
Over-the-counter cough medicines can also lead to issues. They often contain the drug dextromethorphan (DXM), a stimulant that can get you high and lead to increased heart rate, dizziness, slurred speech, and even hallucinations if you take too much. It is popular among teenagers because it is easy to find. Just because something is over-the-counter does not necessarily mean that it is safe for at-will usage. Always abide by the dosages and instructions on the packaging.
5. BENZODIAZEPINES
Sometimes referred to as "benzos," these central nervous system depressants slow down brain and nervous system activity. As such, doctors often prescribe them to treat anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin fall into this category as sedatives and mild tranquilizers. But taking more than recommended can cause dizziness, confusion, impaired coordination, breathing problems, and death. Combining benzos with alcohol or other prescriptions increases these risks.
6. BARBITURATES
Barbiturates are another central nervous system depressant that may be prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. Nembutal and Seconal are the two most popular. But when abused, barbiturate sedatives have the same risks and side effects as benzodiazepines, with the added possibility of fever and life-threatening withdrawals.
7. PSEUDOEPHEDRINE
Popular in both prescription and non-prescription cold medicines, pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that helps to clear stuffy noses. However, it is also an ingredient used to make methamphetamine. To prevent this form of prescription drug abuse, there are laws to regulate and control the purchase of these products, and they are typically kept behind store counters. Individuals must present a photo ID and are limited in the amount they can legally purchase each month. Stores are also required to keep the purchaser's personal information on file for at least two years.
How Long Does Fentanyl Stay in Your System?
The length of time fentanyl stays in one’s system depends on its dosage form or how it is administered. With an injection, it may take 11 to 22 hours for fentanyl to leave one’s system. For patches or lozenges, it could take up to 36 hours.
This doesn’t mean however that if you take fentanyl, you just have to wait 11 to 36 hours to cheat a drug test. Fentanyl breaks down and leaves metabolites that could be detected by a thorough drug test even if it’s been several days since the last dose.
Fentanyl can be detected in urine for 8 to 24 hours. In hair, it can be up to 90 days or three months. Fentanyl can also be detected in saliva (up to 3 days) and blood (up to 12 hours).
