fentanyl and Depressive Disorder

fentanyl has been researched along with Depressive Disorder in 6 studies

Fentanyl: A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)
fentanyl : A monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the aryl amino group of N-phenyl-1-(2-phenylethyl)piperidin-4-amine with propanoic acid.

Depressive Disorder: An affective disorder manifested by either a dysphoric mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities. The mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Transdermal fentanyl is an opioid analgesic that is effective on chronic pain, and which appears to be advantageous due to several factors such as ease of administration, the relatively stable serum concentration and long dose intervals."3.72Oral transmucosal abuse of transdermal fentanyl. ( Dimopoulos, NP; Gitsa, OE; Liappas, AI; Liappas, IA; Mellos, E; Rabavilas, AD, 2004)
"Postoperative confusion in the first 3 postoperative days occurred in 5 (13%) depressed patients given fentanyl during anesthesia, 13 (33%) patients without fentanyl and 1 (3%) control patients."2.70Cortisol response to surgery and postoperative confusion in depressed patients under general anesthesia with fentanyl. ( Katagai, H; Kudoh, A; Takahira, Y; Takazawa, T, 2002)
"Fentanyl was found at a high rate, even in the absence of other opioids, which suggests that some veterans might be consuming fentanyl with cocaine."1.62Brief Report: Rates of Fentanyl Use Among Psychiatric Emergency Room Patients. ( Campbell, S; Elmarasi, M; Fuehrlein, B; Garcia-Vassallo, G, 2021)
