Summary
Etonitazene is an extremely potent synthetic opioid discovered in 1957, approximately 1,000 times the potency of morphine; in-vivo rodent data place it at or above fentanyl. It was never approved for medical use due to severe dependency potential and respiratory depression. Etonitazene has an unpredictably steep dose-response curve and erratic pharmacokinetics, especially when injected, making it more hazardous than fentanyl.
Dose Information
Dose basis. No dose range is published for etonitazene because none is established. It is a microgram-active nitazene opioid many times more potent than fentanyl; a normal milligram scale cannot weigh a dose of it, and batch potency in the unregulated supply varies enormously. Assume full respiratory depression, keep naloxone to hand (repeat doses may be needed), never use alone, and never combine with benzodiazepines, alcohol or other depressants.

| Insufflated | 2-10 min | 10-20 min | 1-2 hrs | 1-3 hrs | 2.2-5.5 hrs |
| Intravenous | 36 sec | 2-5 min | 30 min | 1-2 hrs | 1.54-2.59 hrs |

Effect Profile
Scores (0–10) curated from multiple sources:
- Effect keyword matching from PsychonautWiki catalog
- Weighted by importance: core (×3), major (×2), minor (×1)
Strong euphoria and pain relief with moderate itching/nausea, mild sedation
Tolerance
No tolerance chart. Our decay curves for opioids were estimates, and a curve can make tolerance look longer-lasting than it is, which is the dangerous direction.
Opioid tolerance drops fast when you stop, and even a few days off can be enough, so a dose that used to be normal can now stop your breathing. Overdose deaths rise sharply after prison, detox or leaving treatment, and tolerance also falls during a hospital stay. After any break, start with a much smaller amount, try a test dose first, don't use alone, and keep naloxone within reach. Alcohol, benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids and other sedatives make an opioid overdose much more likely.
