In other words a fat drug addict died. Good.

Fentanyl has been a HUGE problem where I live, there have been a lot of deaths recently, there have been about 50 OD cases last year. How can people be so stupid????
Oh, and Patton Oswald is ugly af.

Fentanyl was the drug that killed Prince also, in the same month coincidentally. Yes she was very fat and that probably contributed to her pain issues but my money is on the drug cocktail. I just wish it could have been that little marshmallow troll Patton.

Why do these idiots always combine dangerous prescription drugs too? Oh well.

I like it when fats are too stupid to stay alive. Who could have predicted that haphazardly mixing drugs might not be the best idea?

Why on earth was she taking fentanyl? If she had some sort of pain disorder or other illness that caused intense, chronic pain, surely Oswalt would have mentioned it. Obesity may have been just one of many issues this woman had if she was using fentanyl recreationally.

A.) She was using fentanyl behind his back. -or- B.) They were using together and he kept it a secret until he could be rehabilitated.

I thought it was karma for all those times he told people he disagreed with to kill themselves instead of discussing things like a human being.

Never mix benzodiazepams (xanax, Valium, etc) with opioid painkillers (oxycodone, Vicodin, morphine, fentanyl, heroin, etc.). Unless you want to stop breathing.
Also, don't be fat.

I know cats and dogs are a different species, but we would use valium and hydromorphone together as part of anesthesia. Granted, anesthesia was carefully monitored, and hydromorphone is nowhere near as strong as Fentanyl. Also we were operating on cats and dogs, not pigs (;

Species is identical in this case: Pigs. ;P
Ya, the combo is used for anesthesia. But like you said it is monitored. They can tell how shallow your breathing gets and how slow your heart rate gets. It is essentially a medically induced coma. A person getting high or self medicating rarely knows how much to take and isn't frugal about the dose. If things get out of hand during an anesthesia, there are drugs on hand to reverse the effects immediately (Narcan).
I only say this because we had huge opiate epidemic in my area. Everyone I know who isn't with us any more died by mixing those two drugs.

I take Klonopin as needed and I'm pretty sure I took it with Vicodin when I had severely infected wisdom teeth.
Maybe I'm not dead because it was a small dose of Klonopin (.25 mg every 12 hours) and I'm not fat?

It won't kill you in small dosages. So long as your doctor knows you are on both, should be good. Usually doesn't happen if you are taking a medicinal dosage. The two drugs just synergize really well. Both are depressants (slow the central nervous system, meaning heart and lungs). Just follow docs orders and you are fine... unless you are fat. ;P
