Symptoms of Fentanyl Addiction
 Fentanyl addiction can be identified by constant headaches,
constipation, blurred vision, itching, seizures, nausea, hallucinations,
confusion, unconsciousness, and other symptoms. After extended use,
or after being combined with a street drug (such as heroin or even
alcohol), effects can intensify respiratory distress, depression, insomnia,
coma, or even death. The receptors in a person’s brain that process
opioids is the same area of the brain that regulates breathing, which is a
large reason to why a lot of fatalities and symptoms are all related to
respiration. Fentanyl is a narcotic and has been classified as a controlled
substance due to its extreme risk for addiction and abuse.
