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.

Schizophrenia: A severe emotional disorder of psychotic depth characteristically marked by a retreat from reality with delusion formation, HALLUCINATIONS, emotional disharmony, and regressive behavior.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In this preliminary report we describe 3 cases of patients with schizophrenia, who are treated with long-term injectable risperidone (Risperdal Consta) and were false positively screened for fentanyl by a rapid commercial screening kit."4.02False-positive fentanyl screening kit results during treatment with long term injectable risperidone (Risperdal-Consta). ( Even-Tov, S; Peles, E; Schreiber, S; Shroitman, NK; Tene, O, 2021)
"Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid with an estimated potency that is 10,000 times more than that of morphine and 100 times more than that of fentanyl."1.51Higher naloxone dosing may be required for opioid overdose. ( Bardsley, R, 2019)
"Ketamine has been considered to be contraindicated for schizophrenic patients because it may induce psychological emergence reactions and psychiatric deterioration."1.30Uneventful total intravenous anaesthesia with ketamine for schizophrenic surgical patients. ( Ishihara, H; Kudo, A; Kudo, H; Matsuki, A; Murakawa, T; Takahashi, S, 1997)
