What are Synthetic Opioids?
Fentanyl is classified as a synthetic opioid. Opioids, which originally are derived from the poppy plant, initially were prescribed or administered to treat pain, which is why they’re often referred to as pain relievers. A synthetic opioid, however, is made in a lab and is designed to produce the same effects as popular opiates like heroin, morphine, and codeine.
Because opioid addiction and overdoses are becoming more common in the United States (130 people die every day from opioid-related drug overdoses), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classifies the crisis as a public health emergency and an epidemic. Many pharmaceutical companies are blamed for this widespread abuse of opioids for prescribing the drug in the late 90s and early 2000s while assuring consumers that the drug wasn’t addictive.

Understanding Fentanyl & Its Dangers
Fentanyl is a synthetic pain reliever that is used to relieve severe pain, especially after major surgery or to aid cancer clients, and typically comes in the form of a tablet, lozenge, spray, or patch. All these forms, unfortunately, are addictive, as fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine, another addictive opiate. Common brand names for fentanyl to be aware of include Actiq, Abstral, Duragesic, Lazanda, Sublimaze, and Subsys.
Fentanyl relieves pain by blocking pain receptors in the brain and increasing the production of dopamine, which is the chemical that creates happiness or other pleasant feelings. Prolonged use of fentanyl can develop tolerance, which means users may ingest the drug in higher doses to continue experiencing relaxation and euphoria. This is how abuse and addiction can occur.
Fentanyl addiction can result in the following dangers:
- Negative symptoms like constipation, nausea and vomiting, seizures, headaches, and dizziness
- Life-threatening withdrawal symptoms that occur when the user stops using the drug, like slowed breathing and brain damage
- Financial hardship, which can occur when someone with an addiction spends all their money on seeking and buying the drug
- Loss of relationships, which can occur with all people with drug addictions
Because of its increased risk of overdose, fentanyl is extremely dangerous to those who don’t already have a tolerance to opioids. This risk can intensify when someone mixes fentanyl with other drugs like heroin or cocaine.
