Isotonitazene was developed in the 1960's as an alternative to Morphine.

Development of Isotonitazene
Developed in the 1960's as an alternative to Morphine, Isotonitazene has never been licenced for use on humans because of the the extreme risks connected with it's use.
Isotonitazene is cheap to produce in a laboratory which is why it is mixed it with other drugs to bulk them out.
It is illegal to manufacture, sell and possess.
Naloxone, an emergency drug given to reverse the effects of opioids has little effect on Isotonitazene.
If it did work it would need massive doses over a prolonged period.
It kills people: Quickly.
Therefore, specialised Isotonitazene addiction detox rehab is required for those affected.

How is Isotonitazene taken?
As Isotonitazene is illegal there is no control over quality or purity.
Usually, it is sold as a white powder which is formed into tablets or snorted as a powder.
Users also inject it.
Sometimes, it is made to look like prescription medication such as Fentanyl or Oxycodone.
Studies from the United States of America indicate that the majority of the drug coming into the country originates from China.
When it is mixed in with other drugs such as heroin and cocaine the overdose potential rises: Significantly.
In cases of overdose, seeking Isotonitazene addiction detox rehab can be a lifesaving step.

What happens if you overdose on Isotonitazene?
Isotonitazene suppresses the central nervous system.
This leads to respiratory depression which is what causes most of the deaths associated with it.
Isotonitazene attaches itself to opioid receptors both in the spinal cord, as well as the brain.
This leads to the opening up of chemical channels as the over production of normally occurring bodily chemicals.
The resulting chemical messaging leads to decrease in both a persons heart rate and breathing rate.
Sometimes other vital body organs are starved of oxygen.
There is an extremely limited time where medical aid can be rendered before someone suffers a fatal injury.
Even then, the usual treatment for opioid overdose, Naloxone, is unlikely to be effective.
Massive doses, far in excess of the usual guidelines, are needed.
Isotonitazene can cause severe nausea and vomiting.
It is not unusual for users to choke on their own vomit leading to a condition known as aspiration pneumonia.
Left untreated, this can be fatal.

What happens if you stop taking Isotonitazene?
As with all opioids, if you use it on a regular basis, your brain becomes accustomed to it's presence.
When this happens, the brain changes the way it works to accommodate Isotonitazene.
This is known as tolerance.
In a state of tolerance you will need ever increasing amounts to have the same effect as the amount you used when you first discovered the drug.
If you stop taking it suddenly, or reduce very quickly, the brain simply won't be able to cope with the change and will fire off incorrect chemical messaging.
This is what leads to physical symptoms known as withdrawal.
These symptoms are exactly the same as those you would get if you stopped taking heroin.
If you are experiencing withdrawal, remember that professional Isotonitazene addiction detox rehab is available for support.
Trying to deal with this at home, on your own, can be fatal.
It has nothing to do with willpower but everything to do with science.

Cravings for Isotonitazene
When you stop taking Isotonitazene your brain will take up to twelve months before it is completely able to function without it.
This is perfectly normal.
During this time it is highly likely that you will encounter cravings for the drug.
The reason that no one should ever try and detox themselves is that aside from the risk of dehydration (which can be fatal).
Without substitute prescribing (an opioid replacement) you will start to experience cravings, as well as withdrawals, very quickly.
It can start within hours.
Your brains tolerance to Isotonitazene will drop as soon as you stop taking it.
This means that should you succumb to cravings you are likely to take an amount which your brain can not process leading to an overdose which is most likely to be fatal.
This results in physical symptoms known as withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms can start within a few hours of your last use and in some cases, can be fatal.

What about home treatment for isotonitazene addiction?
Not reccomended.
Residential treatment is always the optimal treatment choice and will cost a lot less.
Treatment at home, because of the need for medical oversight and 24/7 nurse support would be incredibly cost prohibitive.
It is possible.
