This is such important knowledge! I'm a recovering Fent addict. I am sure I have unknowingly used this. I know that my withdrawal symptoms this last time (22 mths ago) were sooo much more intense. The pain was so much more painful, more vomitting, diarrhea, RLS, and it was twice as long as it was the few other times I tried to sober up. This time I was ready to sober up, I was done using. It was one of the hardest thing I've ever done. But MY LIFE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!! AND SO IS YOURS!!!!

7 months ago I went to detox of fentnayl and waited 3and a half days and still went into withdrawal horrible. BTW I'm still sober it's possible life is great 👍

Im almost 11 yrs clean. I cannot imagine having to go thru the fent and xylazine wd. Withdrawal from opioids was painful enough. It's literally a traumatic experience. Sending strength to everyone out there. Thanks Dr B

I got clean from heroin in 2017 right before fent got big here in FL. I thank God every day I got sober when I did. Things are getting really scary. Im pretty positive tranq is here in central Florida. I have a friend that is in and out of the hospital with GIANT open sores all over her legs and supposedly the doctors don't know what it is.

I've understood the appeal of almost every illicit drug in history but this phase of drug abuse in America baffles me.

This is really well done. Just a Dr., a camera, and a bunch of relevant information.

[OB.x]

finally, someone I respect covering this, instead of Vice News.

Haven't even watched it, but as someone who lived 17+ years of addiction, there's very few drs who talk about addiction that truly get it, imo. I'm excited (why? over such a dangerous thing? Sorry the drug nerd in me is excited because finally an easy to digest video about this that isn't from Vice). Edit: already 20 seconds in, Vice kept saying it was a benzo, etizolam, that didn't make sense, benzos aren't water soluble, why would that be in there? I mean still possible....but still. THIS makes sense.

I’m in Philly and currently battling this beast of X. The bags here have more tranq than Fent and I have sores . They stink . I keep them clean but they just won’t dry up.. I went to Temple University Hospital In Philly bc of my leg and after 12 hrs I couldn’t take it and and left hospital. That’s how this addiction has got me . I only recently realized the tranq has its own withdrawal and I never thought it could touch the Fent but it does all day long . A lot of us think it is worse. Like if I go buy a bag and it doesn’t have enough tranq in it I don’t get well… Fent alone doesn’t touch the tranq… Recently Temple University Hospital detoxed my buddy other day with Ketamine drip, Ativan and hydromorphone .The dilaudid was for the pain from the big whole he had in his calf muscle but the are at least believing us now that we all realized at some point that this tranq we are doing bc we had too it was mixed with the Fent supply of like the whole city and I remember we all started talking and having these weird headaches and Nashua and sweaty and extreme anxiety and if I did a bag of Fent and wasn’t enough in or any at all I would still feel not all the way well .I remember the day I realized this shit was eating my skin and I was addicted to it it self The Drs in Philly are now listening to us about these horrible tranq withdrawal…The detoxes are taking weeks without hospital care. Also I wanted to mention that I only smoke it and I have open sores … When u go buy a bag and do it and don’t get well that is the scariest feeling bc Fent alone is not touching the tranq..

It's refreshing to hear addiction described in medical/scientific terms plus the best scientific methods of coming off these drugs. Takes away all the blame & shame. Love your work Dr B!

[LaceyNatasha]

Im a recovering addict from different times and different drugs just different periods in my life, anyways from the ages of 14 to 34 years of age off n on but i never had to experience what people are going through in the aspects of tranq dope. Nor do i want to. Im 40 years young now and im still trying to pick myself up from all the abuse i put myself through, ive got tons of health issues and mental as well. I pray that people get help now before its too late .

[mechveteran]

This is a doctor that knows his stuff and is coming at this from a realistic and helpful perspective.

[melbags]

I think its great that Dr. B cares enough to take time in sharing his knowledge of this subject to all who are willing to listen! Very admirable! Thank you, Dr. B. 🌎 ❤ ✌

You are doing a very important job educating people about drugs.

I am an actual recovering heroin from back in the day when all you had to worry about was was there a rush or what people call a call to be had off of it. I have and blessed to be able to say I am not a fentanyl addict or a xylazine addict and let me I truly appreciate these videos because to be totally honest I have to tell you if anything has ever scared me away from going back out on them streets it's the stories right here. I mean I've been clean since May 18th 2010 but that desire can always sneak up on you and they say the further away you are from your last use can be the closer you are to the next. I know for a fact Baltimore has tranq dope pumping out of it and have a friend who is using it and going through her sinuses falling apart and she's so scared she's just waiting for the flesh eating symptom to come out in her body somewhere. There's just nothing appealing to me in a drug that isn't really an opiate so it doesn't work the same as far as detoxing or withdrawing, it finds a place in your body and explodes into a flesh-eating type abscess or abscesses whether internal or external depends on your body which can then become completely dead and necrotic tissue inside or outside of your body, and the fact that it turns you into a complete zombie you can be happy one minute and a total zombie the next and that is a dangerous place to be mentally when you're out there pounding the pavement. Thank you so much for all the information and for caring enough to share it with us.

I love that you invest so much of your time into learning all of this. The first doctor i went to to get sober hated addicts and had no problem telling us we were scum and below him. He was so awful, he to, d my wife she was a whore because she was on birth control. At the time we had no choice our local rehab only worked with him. Now that rehab is a methadone clinic and i hear its much better. I did find a different doctor but i had to travel five hours. This was ten years ago, im still very happy i got sober. I struggle in the spring and currently have been struggling but it only lasts a couple of weeks and im good for another year. Thankfully i have not relapsed since i started my journey. I dont drink, i dont smoke, sober is sober and im big on it. I will say addiction is in my life in general, the food i eat, the hobbies i get into, i get that obsessed behavior all over again. We just need to refocus it to something useful. Anyway, thank you!

Thank you Doc for investing so much of your time to educating so many of us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝

I was on fentnayl 100mcg patches for years and weaned off in 6 months. Best thing I ever did. Opioids create their own level of pain beyond anything else.

[jimbobjimbob]

The main problem is.People who are on drugs and even the people who work can't afford to go to a clinic.Were I live it's $325 to see the doctor who does nothing but call in the meds and another $800 at the pharmacy.I mean who can afford that every month even if you have a job.Till they open up a free clinic or drop the price way way down.Its not going to get better.

As a recovering addict in pittsburgh, seeing what is happening in Philly is absolutely horrific. I got clean when carfentanyl and krokodil were coming around in my area. It was enough to make me fight. Losing all my friends to it along the way. I am lucky to be clean today and cannot imagine this level of addiction. I'm sure I'd be right there with them. Love from pittsburgh ❤️

It's clear to me if I go back out, I'm not coming home.

I hope we all fig out a plan for our children and still sick and suffering persons.

Ps... 30x in rehab DONT GIVE UP THE GOOD FIGHT

[ericawilliams]

I went into precips after 4 whole days of being clean off fent. I didn't do any other drug but fentanyl. But I survived it. I'm 57 days clean today.
