The use of Opioid drugs extends back to ancient times, when people in the Middle East and northern Africa learned that certain poppies produce a fluid that causes euphoria, or a state of extreme happiness and well-being; drowsiness and pain relief.

Beginning in the late 1970s, illegally synthesized fentanyl analogs (using slightly different molecules) began appearing as "club drugs" that could be snorted, injected, or taken as tablets.

Since the mid-1990s the drug has also been available in an oral lozenge, or lollipop, to ease the most extreme forms of cancer pain.

In 2002, fentanyl was again the subject of news stories and debate. In October of that year the Russian government used a fentanyl gas to end a hostage crisis at a theater in Moscow. As many as 117 people died from the gas; many others were hospitalized.

Fentanyl when used legally, is used as a fast action pain killer. It is used by Anesthesiologists before surgery as it is faster and its effects begin more quickly as injected drugs but does not last as long as others. Fentanyl is also the active ingredient in some transdermal (pads that adhere to to the skin and transmit medicine) patches which are available by prescription. They attach to the skin and transmit the painkiller slowly over a period of hours through the skin cells. Also, fentanyl is carefully monitored in hospitals and available to the public only by prescription.

Fentanyl causes addiction and

problems with the stomach and intestines. It is also highly addictive, and its withdrawal symptoms are even worse than those of heroin. Fentanyl releases endorphins, which means the drug comes in contact with brain receptors. The main brain receptor affected by Fentanyl is the mu receptor which regulates pain and breathing. When fentanyl is received by the mu receptor, pain disappears—but the user may also experience a reduction in breathing. Sometimes the user just stops breathing and suffocates within three minutes of taking the drug.

Fentanyl is a synthetic drug, meaning that it is created in the laboratory from chemicals. It is not taken from a plant or an animal. It was created to mimic the effects of organic substances like heroin and morphine. Fentanyl works like those drugs, but it is far more powerful than either—sometimes as much as 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
