Medetomidine has been popping up in pdx supply. What you need to know..

Withdrawal from medetomidine can occur within hours and is characterized by severe hypertension (>200 mmHg), tachycardia (>140 bpm), tremors, nausea, vomiting, agitation, and reduced mentation. (I can't empathize enough how severe, painful, awful, and fast occurring the withdrawls are!)

Medetomidine is a strong sedative that is used in veterinary settings, though it is much stronger than Xylazine. ( I should mention that unlike Xylazine, necrotic wounds have not been mentioned as a side effect of long term use)

With medetomidine, your pass out rather than nod off (not a pleasant high). During an overdose naloxone will work, however, the indiv will remain unconscious! So, consistent monitoring of breathing is necessary.

There are medetomidine test strips
OI is seeing medetomidine in about 10% of the samples brought in (since it started appearing around last August). Medetomidine is the second most common cut for fetty, tied with acetaminophen and lidocaine. The scary thing about Medetomidine is the withdrawals. Please have these conversations with folks in your community. Please educate yourself on medetomidine
A friend purchased from 5 different sources and all five tested positive for medetomidine. Please be aware of this major increase. I don't often push posts like this but this info is vital. Hopefully it's just a fleeting flare, but while it's on our streets, please educate yourselves on the topic
