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 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.
