Xylazine
Also called tranq, tranq dope, zombie drug, anestesia de caballo
Tranq: an animal sedative, not an opioid, increasingly found mixed into fentanyl. It causes deep, long sedation and slow-healing wounds. Naloxone does not reverse it, but still give naloxone for the opioid.

Riskiest first. Tap one for what to do.
- FentanylDangerous · BodyThis is tranq dope: breathing can come back after naloxone while the person stays unconscious.
- OpioidsDangerous · BodyXylazine deepens the opioid's sedation and slowed breathing, and naloxone can't reverse the xylazine part.
- CocaineUnsafe · BodyCocaine hides the sedation and wears off first, leaving xylazine and any fentanyl acting alone, while the heart is pulled both ways.
- MethamphetamineCaution · BodyThe stimulant hides how sedated you are, and the sedation takes over as it wears off, while the heart is pulled both ways.

- CocaineUnsafeCocaine hides the sedation and wears off first, leaving xylazine and any fentanyl acting alone, while the heart is pulled both ways.
- DXMUnsafeHigh-dose DXM and xylazine both impair breathing, and vomiting while sedated is the danger.
- PCPUnsafeHeavy dissociation on top of heavy sedation: passing out and choking on vomit are likely.
