  I was a heroin addict for 14 years, switched to fentanyl smoking 3 years ago after nearly loosing my life to injecting heroing and meth/coke. I got an extremely bad abscess and blood infection. I thought smoking fentanyl was the lesser of two evils even tho I knew it was often times fatal. The tolerance I had to opiates was sky high. But the tranq and fentanyl quickly became soul consuming. It overtook me harder than heroin ever did. I have 13 months clean and sober today and just got hired to work as a peer support specialist (if my background check comes back okay, which has me stressed)with other addicts and homeless people. After being a part of the problem for so long , I might be able to be part of the solution. If you&apos;re still using and you read this by some chance, getting clean is possible, and so worth it. Life&apos;s to short to waste on drugs.

  Damn. If someone says that withdrawal from tranq makes opioid withdrawal look mildly uncomfortable,that is some fucked up drug!

  If I had a nickel for every flesh eating zombie drug there is, I&apos;d have two nickels which isn&apos;t a lot but it&apos;s weird it&apos;s happened twice.

  Friend of mine almost OD on heroin. We had to watch him almost ending his life in pursuit of the next high. He was put on life support for quite some time until the body responded to the meds. It is so sad watching a loved one laying there in the bed like a ghost., at death&apos;s door. He eventually recovered and sorted his life as he had nothing else left than existence. Step by step he got back on his own 2 feet and is currently engaged. I wish him and his future wife nothing but the best. S+F were ment for each other ❤

  Unfun fact: In 2008 (before the Fentanyl crisis), there were only 3,000 deaths from Heroin overdoses in the U.S (where heroin was the only drug found in their system, not mixed with other stuff). That&apos;s less than Tylenol overdoses. We don&apos;t have an Opioid crisis, we have a fentanyl crisis.

  I work at a detox center. &nbsp;we had a client come in detoxing from tranq dope. This individual had a horrible open wound on his leg that resembled a burn mark. He unfortunately left after 3 days to go back to the streets. Stuff like this breaks my heart but reminds me why the work I do is so crucial. Fuck whoever decided that fentanyl wasn&apos;t deadly enough on its on.

  I shot herion for 17 years, I got clean and my first day with no drugs was 4/19/19. Fentanyl was becoming pretty big in my city for a year or so before I got clean. Within a year or so of getting clean I lost four fairly close friends to fentanyl. I&apos;m glad as hell that I quit when I did.

  I’m 1 day out of rehab, clean from fentanyl an tranq. I live in Philadelphia an it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I was deathly sick for 2 weeks an 150 mil of methadone didn’t even touch &nbsp;or help my withdrawal. I’m so happy that’s over an glad to be alive. I seriously thought I &nbsp;was going to die right there on the floor in rehab. I pray for everyone going through this bc it’s not an easy thing.

  Tranq Dope is the worst. &nbsp;It killed my sister. &nbsp;She was clean at the time of her death, but the damage was done. &nbsp;RIP, Molly. &nbsp;1982-2019.

  I was put on fentanyl years ago for pain management. I have severe debilitating fibromyalgia and muscle issues. I had no idea what I was taking at the time. I barely remember 2 years of my life, I was a complete zombie and could barely function. It was horrific and that was only a low medicinal dose. God help anyone who can&apos;t get off this stuff
