Why do people on Fentanyl seem to be bent over in uncomfortable, often painful positions for what it seems like long periods of time whitout moving at all?
In: Chemistry
The point of painkillers is that you don’t feel the pain. And it makes you unconsious if the dose is high enough.
I think a lot of the people you see bent over like that are actually on “tranq”
Fent users can and do nod off standing, sitting or just about anywhere.
The tranq users are usually hinged at the hip, and another giveaway is the bandages on their legs. It causes lesions that don’t heal. Sounds like a lot of fun, lol.
I read somewhere online that they try to stay standing up so they don’t just fall asleep, since when they are sleeping they are “wasting” the high. So they end up kind of nodding off and in those wacked out positions where they aren’t asleep but aren’t quite awake either. Very sad to see.
The fent pose is often referred to as nodding out, and it’s very common with opioid users. It’s similar to falling asleep standing up. The reason for it is a combination of things, one being that they don’t want to fall asleep and waste the high, so they try to stand- however, lots of fent is cut with ‘tranq’ (xylazine) which combined with the fent can make it very difficult to stay awake. Both xylazine and fentanyl are depressants, which is what causes users to nod out. As for the contorted pose, it’s likely that they probably don’t notice or find it super uncomfortable, fent is a very heavy painkiller.
