Dr. Michael Lynch is an ER physician based in Pittsburgh.
He started seeing overdoses involving metatomidine some two years ago.
The powerful sedative is often mixed with fentanyl, but fentanyl overdose drugs don't work on it.
Patients also came in delirious, agitated, with very high heart rates and not responding to typical medications.
According to the CDC, the drug is most prevalent in the Northeast U.S., though it's also showing up more in the Midwest and the South.
