You’re not taking what you think you are... Fentanyl could be hiding in that “good time” you think you’re having.
Know the risks of fentanyl poisoning or overdose so you can make informed decisions.
The same things that make fentanyl effective for treating pain, make it dangerous. A lower dose can make you feel sleepy, but a higher dose can make it difficult to breathe and stop your heart in a matter of minutes.
People mistakenly think they’re getting an authentic pill or power; what they don’t realize is that it could contain a lethal dose of Fentanyl.
An overdose occurs when someone knowingly takes a substance and takes too much of it.
In a poisoning, the person unknowingly takes a substance with fentanyl in it. They believe they are taking something else. They may think they’re taking Xanax for anxiety, and Oxycontin for pain, cocaine to party or Adderall to study. But getting these drugs from someone, even a trusted friend, a fellow student or a dealer means they have no way of knowing if the drugs are fake and fatal.
