Why does fentanyl feel so good? Let us try it so you don't have to. Fentanyl reaches your brain in seconds, and like other opioids, binds to opioid receptors. It stops pain signals and also releases a flood of dopamine, so the pain melts away as you slide into euphoria.

But before it fully kicks in, it's already made you less sensitive to CO2, slowing your breathing and silencing your body's screams for oxygen. As it's up to 50 times stronger than heroin, it's hard to take a safe dose by eye. An overdose can happen so fast that bodies are found with the deadly need still in the skin.

And if you survive to become dependent, the only way you can feel joy or just fine is the drug, not the people you love. Nothing but coming off is torture, so you keep using it. It numbs you, and then it kills you.

In 2022, there were more fentanyl deaths than all US military deaths since the 60s, including Vietnam. And as it's so cheap to make, it's now mixed with other drugs. You could end up taking it even if you didn't mean to. So be aware and stay safe out there.
