Fentanyl fold

[edit]

I added a section on the "fentanyl fold", which is a fairly notable and visible symptom of fentanyl intoxication in cities where there is widespread addiction. This was removed for not using WP:MEDRS sources, but MEDRS is pretty clear that it only applies to biomedical information, which this was (mostly) not. I feel something about fent leans should be included in the article given that it is one of the most visible aspects of the opioid crisis in the US.

'The fold is likely a more extreme form of the head nodding associated with other opioid intoxication, resulting from the depressing effect of opioids on the nervous system and loss of muscle control.'; 'The extremely slumped-over posture indicates a low point of consciousness'; and 'though the posture may indicate a person is very close to experiencing an overdose.' are certainly medical claims.
The only sources in academia about this are this , in Current addiction research, written by a researcher at a social psychology department and , which is published in a journal about Parkinsons, which doesn't ascribe it to fentanyl and points out other potential origins. There is no evidence that this is caused by fentanyl and not something else.
If it is 'one of the most visible aspects of the opioid crisis in the US', then the most appropriate article is opioid epidemic in the United States, not this one. Traumnovelle (talk) 00:53, 19 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Post surgery

[edit]

Is fentanyl not used peri-operatively and post-operatively? The quick clearance and onset make it ideal for peri-operative use and as a CRI. Sacristy (talk) 01:40, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Femtanyl?

[edit]

Sorry, I actually don't do this but I believe there's a mistake? The article says that "the female version of fentanyl is femtanyl"? The singer? Surely this isn't supposed to be here, or was supposed to be something else? I don't want to remove anything and it turns out that I was completely out of my realm.

Yes, that wasn't intentional. That was a disruptive edit by another anonymous user (page has since been fixed). 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 02:20, 25 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank you (two) so much! I wanted to be sure. Much love!! ~2026-49898-95 (talk) 13:53, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
It was vandalism, if you see an unusual claim like that you can click the 'view history' option and click 'compared selected revisions', it will show you what was added in the last addition. If you notice a claim is likely vandalism and was just added then, you can undo it by clicking the button and writing in the edit summary something like 'I believe this is vandalism' or 'I believe this is incorrect'.

Yes Dr. Jenssens was a brilliant man

[edit]

Altough - he killed himself trying to make another drug simular to Fentanyl
