What is the strongest narcotic?

Answer 1

The strongest opiate currently prescribed for humans is the Fentanyl Transdermal Patch, in 100mcg (microgram) dosages, which can be increased as necessary. Fentanyl (brand name Duragesic) is 30 times stronger than morphine. Like Oxycodone, Morphine and others in its class, it is a DEA Schedule 2 opiate, requiring monthly new prescriptions as refills aren't permitted and only a 30 day supply can be dispensed. It really puts a damper on your life, having been Duragesic user for many years.

Duragesic is typically prescribed for long-term chronic pain patients who are in constant extreme pain. The most common patients who use them are terminally ill cancer patients. I know of one such person who had up to 6 100mcg patches applied - I myself have only required 2.

The difference between Fentanyl (which is used as an anesthetic normally) and drugs like Diluadid, Demerol or Oxycodone, is that it is a timed release drug - it lasts up to 72 hours for most, 48 hours for some like me. It also comes in 25, 50, 75 and 100mcg doses that can be combined to achieve the proper dose. It also requires the patient to be highly opiate tolerant, since it is in the body continually for days, weeks, months, or for some like me, even years.

Answer 2

Fentanyl is typically considered the strongest opioid analgesic, being about 80 times more potent than morphine. There are, however, other more potent analgesics than fentanyl. One such drug is sufentanil, which is about 10 times as potent as fentanyl.

Answer 3

Carfentanil is the strongest narcotic it is 10,000 times as potent as morphine

Answer 4

Fentanyl is stronger than morphine and so is diluadid.

Answer 5

morphine
