    @@Wow_wow1 - As a doctor who works with addicts, I find it offensive that you would choose those words. Especially in the comments section of a video that is designed to show you the face of addiction, and humanize it. YOU may not agree with saving the lives of people who are in the throes of addiction, and/or an overdose, but every one of them is someone’s child….someone’s parent, someone’s sibling, someone’s best friend. They have a purpose, they need & deserve help. This isn’t something they chose, it’s something that happened while they were trying to escape physical, emotional, or psychological pain. I don’t condone the ways in which they get money to pay for it, but at some point, it’s not about getting high, it’s about not getting sick. The detox process is awful. It can be expensive and next to impossible for them to find help, and that’s what needs to change. The fact that you can watch a video of a 16 year old girl overdosing, in her parents home, and say that you don’t agree with saving her life is disgusting, frankly. I have patients who were prescribed pain meds after surgery, and became addicted, construction workers who were prescribed pain pills to continue working with a back injury, and became addicted, 15 year olds, 57 year olds, patients who live in multimillion dollars homes, and patients who live under a freeway overpass. They’re are talented, smart, intuitive, and kind people whose lives spiraled out of control while they weren’t paying attention. They deserve help. The deserve kindness. They deserve a chance to live again. What they don’t deserve is people like you.

    I accidentally overdosed on half a perc 30 last week. I couldn’t hear, I was coughing up blood, I couldn’t stop throwing up, and I was turning blue. I laid there for hours knowing I was dying before finally telling my parents (i’m 17) I slept for 3 days straight and could barely breathe when I came home from the hospital. I truly never want to get high again on anything. I am lucky I didn’t die during those hours of laying there. I was so scared and in so much pain. Please don’t do it. Please don’t take pills.

    I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

    Oh, Gayle, I am so sorry for your broken heart. My Son Kyle lived in Ohio for 7 years. He never sounded right or happy. He came home, and stayed with me in my tiny studio apt., It never occured to me that he had a drug problem. I thank God every day that we lived in that small space. I did his wash and found cut off straws. I would not let it pass. Put 2 and 2 together and FINALLY he admitted his problem with Xanax and Percocet. Except Gayle. They were laced with fentanyl. He went thru 3 days of withdrawal at my house and still would not tell me what was happening. Then one day, He said. I want to tell you what's going on, after the withdrawal ,he put himself on Suboxone. From that day forward. We worked together to get him the help he needed! When he went to outpatient treatment they tested his blood. He had 1000ml of FENTANYL per 1 ml of blood. They said he should be DEAD. Gayle, it is no relection on us as parents. These kids take 1 pill they can die. But. Sadly I feel the truth is not a one time thing and they get hooked. I hope this helps other Parents of kids on drugs, if you even think there is a problem, don't let up, keep asking questions use your intuition. Addicts don't tell the truth, they will lie. Watch them closely,are they asking you for money alot, are they not sleeping. Don't turn a blind eye. Make them face it. Again, I'm so sorry for the loss of you're daughter and I pray my son can make it.🙏♥️

The bad thing is when people abuse their prescribed meds or buy random ones off the streets. Opioids don't help much with RSD/CRPS (or even nerve pain) anyway, which is why most doctors prescribe Gabapentin or Lyrica among other treatments.

    I feel like most all of these comments about "addiction" just fundamentally miss the point. That's only roughly 20% of hard drug users. Have you not been paying attention to what's going on? A huge number of these people dying are not addicts. They're just casual recreational drug users who wanted to experiment or dabble in oxycodone but obviously there is no real oxy on the street anymore. And that's not even counting the people who have had their cocaine or Xanax contaminated with fentanyl.

    I went to rehab in 2019 right around the time fentanyl started popping up in everything. I remember multiple people i know dying from fentanyl laced cocaine (cocaine being my drug of choice) it still wasn’t enough to scare me. True addicts always have the mindset it can never happen to them. I’m extremely happy i finally hit my bottom and sought help. Ive been clean and sober since. I couldn’t imagine being a teen and experimenting nowadays. My heart is with any families who’ve been affected by this epidemic. My heart also goes out to all the still sick and suffering alcoholics and addicts. If you’re someone who’s struggling i promise you there is a way out you just need to reach out for help and take recommendations from people who’ve been there.

When we were growing up we were thinking about school and college and activities we didn’t have time to ruminate by ourselves and look for drugs nor would we ever think of doing that. Nobody in my friend group even ever tried drugs we were just too busy trying to get into good colleges. I feel like these are lost wayward kids who don’t have goals or purpose and don’t have parents supervising them. my parents and those of my friends watched us like hawks knew every move we make and none of us ever got into trouble or drugs. Nowadays if you suggest that online you get 1000 millennial parents saying they’ll resent you and do it anyway. No, we did not resent our parents, and no ….we didn’t do it anyway.

    This made me cry so hard. I lost one of my childhood friends to an accidental fentanyl overdose. They didn't know what they were doing was laced. When I was younger I used to be more judgemental towards addicts and as I grew older and learned more I realized that they need a lot of compassion, love, support and understanding from people. It breaks my heart when I hear stories like this and keep seeing people from my childhood hometown die. This fetanyl thing is a huge problem taking many lives. Just because someone has tried a drug or drugs doesn't mean they don't deserve to live. So many people turn a blind eye and dismiss addicts and send them hate, until it effects them or someone they love. I wish people cared more and didn't wait until it touched them personally to care.

    My brother had two ODs and recovered, he wasn’t so lucky the third time and died in the room below me. That was 11 years ago and that night/ day finding him dead with my parents has never left our minds or hearts… apart from my dad who died a few years later (not from drugs). I hope this young lady takes this warning and knows how lucky she is. Bless her father and the dispatchers as well as all other users. I carry Narcan with me in my car incase I ever see an OD. Narcan parties are pretty big and 🤦🏻‍♀️ kids aren’t understanding how real and awful this epidemic is! 🙏 ♥️

    Over a 100,000 people dead from drug overdose within one year. Even people who do okay with alcohol and pot need to acknowledge that some people genetically and psychologically are just better off staying away from drugs. It’s something you have to be very careful with. It just seems like more and more younger people are isolated and alone and my experience growing up these are the people who do drugs. Better to put down the phones and tablets and start chilling and going places with a close friend or two. Go outside. Don’t just stay at home by yourself. Spend less time online.

    I know for a fact that I have an addicted personality and that really really affects me when it comes to drugs. I used to go off the deep end a bit and I know if I touched a majority of drugs I'd never drop it. The only reason why I stopped acid was because I felt too bad physically and knew I HAD to stop or damage my own brain.

    The exact same thing happened to me. I am also a fentanyl overdose survivor, under the exact same circumstances. When I was 20, I was in a. Dark place, and found some of my dads old Xanax and took it. I loved finally being able to sleep, cuz that was an awful issue, and when I couldn’t get more, I decided to buy some from the friend of one of my close friends. Not knowing anything about it, I also took it, not knowing it was laced with fentanyl. I woke up in the hospital, taken there by my parents, and they said if I took even a milligram more of it, I would’ve died. Please do not buy anything off the street, you will die, I guarantee.

    I'm glad she's doing good now. A couple months ago I've went to the hospital a couple hours before taking a unknown pill (even if it wasn't still fentanyl) with 3 friends in a spot near my house. When it started kicking in I left them to go at my house by myself bc I was feeling kinda weird and it went crazy till the point that every 3secs that was passing I felt like my brain was reseting. Long story short, Got in the hospital with 195bpms. Stayed there. I was 19 at the time. One thing I've learned is that even if we're aware of the consquences accidents can still happen. Stay safe

Idk what it had, but I fell down quick. Time was repeating on a loop. I didn't have a hold on it. I thought I was already dead the first time, second and third, I thought I was going to die from a heart attack. NEVER again.

    @tiaadaanieep7282 Based on what I've seen from fentenal, I assume I would have already been dead? had any been there. I don't think any of the people had connections with coke. They all admitted to weed, but I honestly wouldn't know for sure. I did Google and Duck Duck Go it. Why I react the way I do. Beacuse they had admitted to weed, that's what I focused on. I found that THC affects people in two ways, depending on what portion of the brain is more sensitive, the front or back. Mine is the back. People who have bad trips have the back side stimulated. I also found that THC actually prevents deep sleep. I was given some to help sleep once, and I always woke up feeling hangover. I looked into it and found that in everyone, THC will never allow you to deep sleep, which is a problem. Someone like me, who is also more sensitive (because I don't normally use weed), could feel the effects stronger while using it for sleep. Today's weed is also more potent and different than the weed used a decade ago. I really do hope I didn't accidentally eat/smoked coke or fentenal. I just know the original comment resonated with me.

    i’m 22 and still have lasting brain damage from being deprived of oxygen for quite some time after an overdose. it happened when i was 18. i struggled hard with addiction to various otc and hard drugs from ages 14-18 and thankfully had too much anxiety every time i would indulge in anything aside from weed and alcohol after my overdose. i had just barely missed the rise in fentanyl and still almost died. drug addiction is brutal and so, so damaging, even permanently. i urge anyone to get out while they can, especially with all the fentanyl out there nowadays. i’m only 4 months mostly sober from alcohol and two years sober from marijuana, and sober life is by no means a walk in the park after years of being addicted to just about everything out there, but it is so worth it to see your psyche start to bounce back and to feel better about yourself. find out your triggers and who your enablers are and make the change before it’s too late! i am making my peace with how my brain has changed, but the one thing i regret in this life was ever touching drugs.

The hard part about it all is trying to help someone overcome their drug addiction sacrificing yourself, your mental state, your well being for someone special to you who is not ready to seek help can be very heart breaking. It is not your fault to take care of another adult who has a problem with addiction. Forcing someone to seek treatment never helps in the long run and just creates a disfuncional relationship. You tried your best and that’s all you can do. Feeling some sort of guilt is a normal feeling after you loose someone you were trying to help so badly. You didn’t give up on her, you were there throughout her passing and even now spreading awareness and talking about it. Thank you. ❤️

Someone must have approached me in those 20 minutes that I blacked out. I didn't know how bad it was until I got my paperwork back days later. They didn't check for any other drug, but it was forsure a fentanyl od. I only ever drink, it was scary and I'm so heartbroken I got targeted when all I wanted to do was see my favorite band.

    I just lost my husband 3wks ago to a fentanyl overdose and this is jus extremely sad. I guess me watching these videos is for sum type of closure.

    I'm so sorry. Addiction is senseless. I lost my sister last August. It takes time.

    I went through the same thing. I knew that I was doing fentanol. I was in Jacksonville FL and I remember snorting some then having a conversation with a friend of mine and my friend said I just stopped talking and she knew that something was wrong so she came in the room where I was then she saw me laying on my back I wasn't breathing I had no pulse thankfully we had Norcan at the house I was given 2 doses and I wake up with the room full of paramedics I will never forget this. I thank God everyday for saving me.

    What are 16 year olds doing taking percocets with or without fentanyl. Drug access and culture is completely out of control.
