The bad part about the Nidazines is that there's more for per dose or per level of dose. The old related story is that barbiturates were like that. They were just less bad, less bad, right.
Imagine a drug more potent than fentanyl, easily accessible online, and virtually unknown to most people. In this gripping episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine team up with Dr. Charlie Reznikoff to shed light on nitazenes, a group of synthetic opioids that could be the next big threat in the opioid epidemic. Known for their high potency and ease of availability, nitazenes are a serious concern for both medical professionals and the public.
The doctors break down the complexities of these drugs, discussing their potency, the troubling mu receptor issue, and the terrifying 'wooden chest syndrome' they can induce. They also compare nitazenes to fentanyl, highlighting the unpredictable nature of their supply and the challenges in detecting them. This episode is packed with crucial information and real talk about a pressing issue. If you’re looking to understand more about the latest dangers in the opioid crisis, this episode is a must-listen.
