Adventures With Fentanyl [CBD]
— Ace Open Blog

I spent a lovely morning with an oral surgeon a few days ago, having a couple of pesky wisdom teeth pulled out of my jaw. Actually, only one needed to be removed, but the surgeon suggested that since I was in the chair, I might as well have both remaining teeth extracted. Oh joy. Even Nevergiveup agreed, so I went for it.

I had wisdom teeth removed before, but it was in my callow youth, and as I recall it wasn't a big deal, so I was a bit surprised when the surgeon recommended general anesthesia.

But I was quite surprised when he administered Fentanyl before the anesthesia, and it was quite an experience. I have had my share of opiates (two ruptured discs), and I am a big fan of their pain management, but the feeling of the Fentanyl was decidedly unpleasant. No gentle fog; rather it felt like I had my bell rung. Luckily he administered the anesthesia a short time later, but the hangover from the Fentanyl was quite different and quite a bit worse than my previous experience with other opiates.

This is obviously anecdotal and means very little, but I think I will scratch off "Buy Fentanyl-laced heroin and get high with Hunter Biden" from my bucket list.

7 I had a couple of wisdom teeth removed three and a half decades ago. Big mistake scheduling it on a Friday. Should have done it on a Monday. I call it "The Lost Weekend." The roots had hooks into the bone. At midnight my wife is running off to the all-night pharmacy for morphine. By Monday morning I was right-as-rain. Lost weekend indeed.

8 I hate going to the dentist. It always is uncomfortable and sometimes downright painful.
I had a root canal done once (i'd had one before) and apparently it was a doozy or he didn't get in there correctly but for the first time in my life I arose out of the chair with the pain.
We kept trying two more times but it was just too much.
Finally I said "no mas, no mas" and he told me it might be a constant ache which it was then I got some money and got a bridge put in.
They are worth the money but I always wonder why there's been no innovations about decay in the thousands of years of problems with out teeth.
Why can't they devise a preventative? Or do they have one and they're holding it back due to $$$$$.

11 Yeah that's why wisdom teeth are problematic.
They're crowded back there and that's why they "hook" into the bone. (good word there for it)
It takes some real digging to get them out.
Next time I go to the dentist it will be for dentures (if I can get the money together) and I want to be knocked out. I'm gonna remember this bit about fentanyl.
I thought that was a pain killer? And why give that to you and then anaesthesia?

Well, actually, having had some serious tooth decay, I've found that mozzarella cheese stops tooth decay. Not from the nutrition; you have to actually mash the stuff onto your teeth.

And you have to do so immediately after eating anything sugary or acidic.

But if you do that you can eat all the sugary food you want and you won't get tooth pain or decay.

17 Still think that Nelson getting mentioned in the trial four times, once by the prosecution in their efforts to refute it, so its firmly planted in the jury's mind that Floyd uttered "I ate too many drugs" was a great piece of work. Whether it decisively affects the verdict who knows?

Posted by: Anna Puma at April 11, 2021 02:15 PM (r6pxQ)

18 Ace, I think the hangover was from the General Anesthesia. I've never taken fentanyl but have been prescribed opiates for pain many times in my life (last time iI had opiates for pain was 4 years ago). Never had a hangover from any (oxycodone, hyrdocodone, codiene, morphine etc.) However, general anesthesia has always given me a awful hangover and reminded me of pesticide poisoning more than anything else.
This whole opiate lawfare craze is going to result in many people (a good bit of senior citizens) with no good options for pain management

The secret preventative is called brushing, flossing, using a fluoride toothpaste, regular visits to the dentist, low sugar intake, and not smoking.

Do this and you'll rarely if ever have a dental problem, outside of things like removing wisdom teeth and accidents.

20 As to his eventual demise if he hadn't tried to pass that phony 20; we won't ever know. He might not have od'd if he was used to that level of drug.
It was the swallowing (or was it anal insertion) that did him in and was too much for him to take.

21 Stick with the Chinese fentanyl

Posted by: Asscheeks of Saturn at April 11, 2021 02:18 PM (sjgjJ)

22 In 1986, soph year in college, I had all 4 wisdom teeth and a bicuspid pulled. General anesthesia. Being a college student with limited drug experience (alcohol and pot), I was excited to get some opiates. I got darvocet. It was so useless I traded it for a 6-pack of beer. OTOH, the oral surgeon was so good, I had no swelling, bleeding, or pain, at all. It was a Friday and that evening, no one believed I'd had my teeth yanked until I opened my mouth and showed them. Since then, I've had 3 Rx's for opiates - vicodin 2x and hydrocodone after my hernia repair. They did what they were supposed to do, but opes are not my thing. As a judge once said to me, "you're a pot guy".

25 I brushed, I flossed, I went to the dentist often for cleaning.
All to no avail.
I would see no cavity then suddenly one or two would appear.
Seems like they would get in a small opening and then eat away under the enamel leaving the tooth looking like it was okay.
Dentist said that decay happens sometimes.
And you're just like all the dentists. They'd tell me it was all my fault I had tooth decay. However there is such a thing as teeth that are particularly susceptible to decay.
I had problems when I was very young and didn't eat or drink a lot of sugar or other stuff and was made to brush by my mother.
I get tired of hearing it's all my fault when I've been conscientious and still get the cavity. And you know what I'm talking about. If it's a bacteria that does it they should have an antibiotic that can stop them.
But apparently they don't spend a lot on that side of dentistry.

30 11 "And why give that to you and then anesthesia?"
Both opiates and Benzodiazepines are CNS depressants. Depending upon the depth of sedation the oral surgeon wishes to achieve, Fentanyl is given first to begin the process and move a person rapidly through a lighter stage of sedation to avoid physical complications before something like diazepam is administered.

32 Painkillers seem to work differently with different people.

In my case, Vicodin/hydrocodone causes nausea after about two doses in a row. Darvocet was effective but turned me into a space case. Demerol worked beautifully but gave me a huge case of the sweats. So, high-dose ibuprofin is where it's at.

At the end of the day, Propofol (Diprovan) is my personal favorite for lights out stuff (colonoscopies, etc.). But I can see why Michael Jackson got hooked on the stuff trying to get a good night's sleep...

When he pulled the first one out, it sounded like a wooden peg being pulled out of a barn beam. His comment? "It's a boy!"

Dental procedures were either free or like $5 for employees.. but, you had students working on you.. you get what you pay for..

Well, instead of a student, I got the professor showing a whole group of students gathered around me..
This Dentist had a thick German accent, and I swear he practiced torture in the Nazi death camps in his youth..

76 I had so many quack doctors prescribe fentanyl patches and fentanyl lollipops for 'chronic' back pain it was criminal. Eventually the WC commission created a formulary where Fentanyl was not an approved drug. It could still be prescribed if approved after being submitted for peer review regard to necessity. Not unexpectedly, it was never submitted. Fentanyl was always intended to be a pain medication for end stage cancer pain.

That reminds me of the time, 35 years ago, when I had a hernia fixed and got to spend the night thanks to the incredible nausea brought on by the general. The next morning, bright and early at 7 AM, the surgeon cruises on in, rips the dressing off, and when the screaming subsided, proceeded to inspect the incision.

After he left, I looked over at the bed table, and there was an unopened package of surgical adhesive remover.

89 Interesting. I cannot take Fentanyl. In 2015 was seriously injured in an accident at home and had a fractured skull with injuries to the brain. In ICU they gave me Fentanyl and it made my vitals drop. The doctor said "we had a couple scary moments" (they had to keep me from dying). Now when doctors ask "allergic to anything?" am supposed to mention Fentanyl.

91 I had a root canal done many years ago. Several months after the procedure I was eating some popcorn and felt a sharp pain in that tooth. It had cracked and according to the dentist, needed to be capped. IIRC it would have been 5-7 hundred dollars. I asked him how much to just pull it. 150 bucks. Since I had no dental insurance at the time....

No brainer.

Just have it horked out, and an implant put in its place. And the surgery for the implant is less stressful than the root canal.

I'm an ibuprofen fan too. If you take it around the clock instead of when the pain gets bad, it can be great. I had demerol once and the sensation was "This still hurts but who cares, I'm taking a nap". I never took it again, and that was my only opioid experience. A long time ago (I was an undergrad) before everything was counted and signed for I came to the hospital one day with a splitting headache. I was working on an orthopedic unit, where many patients were getting PT. The nurse pointed to a crystal bowl on the station and said "take one or two of these and you'll be fine. They were percodan, and I declined. Things were easier then, lax even, and yet I don't recall this level of abuse or addiction.
In 1996, I herniated a couple of discs, still stuck with 2 days off and ibuprofen. By that time, 20 years later, showing up under the spell of opiates was taboo.
Fentanyl is fine for hospital use, where it is controlled and monitored. I don't even like hearing about patches, people are known to have sucked out the meds and ODd

146 Howdy, Horde!
Having my wisdom teeth pulled was a most unpleasant experience. Being a poor college student, I went to my school's dental school (I was assured the person who did the work was an actual dentist working towards oral surgery). I also did not get general anesthesia. Instead, it was nitrous oxide and novocain. I learned two things from the experience - One, nitrious oxide does fuck-all for me; and two, the nerves in the back of my mouth are arranged in such a way that the typical spots dentists usually inject novocain do not numb my mouth back there.
I'm pretty sure folks in the waiting room heard me.

152 My experience was different. I had a case of severe colitis following a major surgery that quickly went from level 2 to level 9 (10 being having a limb ripped off) in the span of aboit 2 hours. Morphine didn't help one bit, fentanyl (a drug I had never heard of at the time) was administered by injection and in literally seconds the pain had stopped. I don't recall experiencing a hangover, but over the course of that evening (I had to stay overnight in the hospital) they administer it at least 2 more times and only when the pain could not be managed with morphine. The effect only lasted for 30-=0 minutes tops it seemed, but even then there were wary of administering it excepr in the most extreme pain management cases.

165 Fentanyl is poison.

Last year while traveling I had a bleeding ulcer that got really out of hand. Short form, I bled out half my blood volume internally. The low blood [and therefore oxygen] triggered a heart attack. Got to the hospital where they poured blood into me, and transferred me to a big city hospital. There, for a couple of days while the Gastroenterology people argued with the Cardiology people, they poured more blood into me.

The argument was that the Cardiology people wanted blood thinners to get blood to the damaged areas of the heart. The Gastro people wanted no blood thinners. While they were arguing, I went 10-7 and they ended up both operating on me close enough sequentially as to be functionally one operation. Ulcer controlled and stent installed in my heart.

As I came out of general anesthesia I am told that I was one of the most pleasant patients they had, thanking everybody. For pain killing afterwards, since there were downsides to pretty much everything else, they gave me fentanyl. That was a mistake.

I spent 28 years of my life as a commissioned peace officer of the state of Colorado. I was good at my job, and had the ability to convince people that they would do as I said whether they wanted to or not. The fentanyl filled me with rage and paranoia. I stood off the staff of the Cardiac Care Unit, the armed hospital security detachment, and my family. Incidentally, in the process, I pulled out my central line, somehow not doing vascular damage but making rather a bloody mess. One of my daughters managed to talk me down enough for them to restrain me, and I spent a day in 4-point restraints.

Once I came off of it, I was OK. NEVER take that shit. Putting up with the post-op pain would have been worth it to not lose it like that.

The Chinese government importing fentanyl into this country is an act of war.

If it were me, I would have moved my shit to a different hosting company by Wed. Of last week.

He's mentioned that he has servers for his day job at the same site so he's probably getting some kind of deal. I kind of doubt that a ton of $ changes hands on accident of a particular Smart Military Blog.

174 I was administered fentanyl when I had light anesthesia for stent placement. I was awake, but because it was a couple of hours flat on my back, they gave me that for back pain... and it worked for the pain, but most definitely didn't hit any of those opioid "pleasure" receptors.

The one side effect I experienced as the anesthesia wore off in recovery (and it may have been other anesthesia drugs, or simply the combination) was that I experienced my first optic migraine. No headache, just the visual aura effects. Quite interesting, though a bit alarming as a "first" experience. Lovely kaleidoscopic pastel rainbow effects, which I've had one time since (spontaneous, with no drug trigger). You wouldn't want to have that while doing anything that required serious visual coordination, but definitely something to even enjoy for part of an hour if you don't get the headache.

Did an implant on a back molar.
By the time it healed and ready
I seriously questioned if it was
worth it.

If you haven't seen Scott Adams on the death of his stepson from fentanyl, you might want to look it up; you will find confirmation of what you've said there.

179 DaveK - i get those aura-only migraines every few weeks/month-or-so. Have for 20+ years after i suffered a bad concussion in law school. No pain, but they wear me out and you can't see through them enough to function (i've had to end a deposition early). Thing is, when i close my eyes, i can see it forming like long-range sensors in Star Trek. Usually they fade out, but per my frequency above, sometimes they grow and fill my entire visual field. 30-90 minutes.

in July 1939, Philip was given the task of escorting the young princesses.

Their governess, Marion Crawford, later recollected he had "showed off a great deal".

But he evidently made quite an impression on the 13-year-old Elizabeth.

181 Had knee surgery years ago, just before I went under, I felt this incredible rush, had enough time to think "this is what the junkies feel" and was out. Later the anesthetist confirmed that was Sublimaze (fentanyl) and I told him to wait a little longer to put me out next time.

182 The Biden/Cartel Administration was ordered by China to create this crisis to help bring in more fentanyl.
Biden jumped to comply with his owners' orders.

Whatever drugs they put into me had me spouting German on way to parents' place to recover.
German was my only college class that I feared failing.

184 Jakee308 -

Regarding cavities: xylitol is supposed to have anti-cavity properties. Or actually, the decay bacteria can't metabolize that sugar and die off.
I used to be able to find it at Sprouts and Whole Foods (as a no calorie sugar substitute) but ... ever since Covid came on the scene and "non-essential" workers were laid off, I can't find the stuff. (I know, I know, it's probably still available through Amazon.) Anyway, you do the normal brushing and flossing, and *then* vigorously swish a half-teaspoonful of the xylitol granules in your mouth for a minute. Spit it out and DON'T RINSE OUT THE RESIDUE. Your teeth are now coated with decay-fighter!

185 Anesthetist here. Your reaction is very atypical. Fentanyl is one of the, if not THE, biggest drug of abuse amongst anesthesia providers and ICU nurses, who typically have access to all kinds of fun things (Ketamine, morphine, dilaudid, and demerol are quite popular), because it has quick onset, less respiratory depression than H, morphine, etc. in the doses we tend to use, pretty quick recovery, and most people think it feels great. My personal surgical history has me disliking (for me) demerol, morphine, dilaudid, hydrocodone, codeine - pretty much all of them make me dysphoric, not euphoric. Changed to fentanyl pain pump after back surgery because morphine made me a whiny little Kamala, pushed the button once and had a nap, no euphoria or dysphoria, just a lot of yawning, didn't use it again all night. Sorry you didn't enjoy the show. Some of us just aren't cut out to be Bidens, Ace, guess you're gonna have to be an honest man and miss out on multi-million dollar contracts with Russia and China.
