Abstract
Objective—This report identifies the specific drugs most frequently involved in drug overdose deaths in the United States from 2017 through 2023.
Methods—Data from the 2017–2023 National Vital Statistics System mortality files were linked to literal text data from death certificates. Drug overdose deaths were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision underlying cause-of-death codes X40–X44, X60–X64, X85, and Y10–Y14. Specific drugs were identified by searching three literal text fields of the death certificate: the causes of death from Part I, significant conditions contributing to death from Part II, and the description of how the injury occurred. Contextual information was used to determine drug involvement in the death. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the most frequently mentioned drugs involved in drug overdose deaths. Deaths involving multiple drugs were counted in all relevant drug categories.
Results—Among drug overdose deaths with mention of at least one specific drug, the most frequently mentioned drugs during 2017–2023 included: fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, morphine, methadone, hydrocodone, alprazolam, diphenhydramine, cocaine, methamphetamine, amphetamine, gabapentin, and xylazine. Fentanyl ranked first across all years and was the most common concomitant drug found with other top drugs, ranging from 99.0% of xylazine-involved drug overdose deaths to 48.3% of oxycodone-involved drug overdose deaths. Cocaine and methamphetamine were also frequent concomitant drugs. Trends in age-adjusted rates across the 2017 to 2023 period varied by drug, but notably the rate for heroin-involved deaths sharply declined, while the rate for fentanyl-involved deaths increased and then stabilized between 2022 and 2023. In 2023, the most frequently mentioned drugs in unintentional drug overdose deaths were fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine, while the most frequently mentioned drugs for suicide related drug overdoses were diphenhydramine, oxycodone, and bupropion.
Conclusions—This report identifies patterns in the specific drugs most frequently involved in drug overdose deaths from 2017 through 2023.

Human metapnuemovirus has been spreading around in Southern California. I’m saying this because the Transformers Convention is happening right now in Los Angeles. It’s a common virus that causes cold like symptoms. Stay safe.

Lost Stars
Today, in a passing conversation, Carter said he didn’t want to lose me. I wanted to frame the words like a certificate of recognition. I wanted to go back in time, turn on my recording, and play it again everytime I questioned myself. I felt that I’d worked so hard for that statement and to finally hear it was like music to my ears.
Earning Carter is no easy feat. I see the way he gives his loyalty. I see the way he guards himself. He’s a beautiful person I never get to fully have but I get to exist around and it’s always enough- even better- than the conquests I go after every chance I get. Having Carter in my orbit is a gift I never expected. I protect it like my life depended on it.
Everyone around us doesn’t understand my loyalty but I don’t owe them any explanation for why my loyalties lie with him alone in that office. Nothing really matters there if I can’t have Carter. And today we got to witness what exactly that looks like when we don’t have each other in this way. Today, we agreed that that wouldn’t happen- not to us.
Carter never makes his way anywhere towards my list. He never crosses over lines I guard safely from him. He stays exactly where he needs to be and finds himself loved in a way I never love the people on that list. Carter is often like a subconscious. He allows me to make mistakes, he laughs about them with me, and he tells me when I’ve gone too far. There really is none like Carter. How could I taint someone so beautiful for selfish conquest?
So I make it clear to everyone in our world that if I have to choose, I will always choose Carter over everyone in the room. I will choose “safe” over fun, over flirtation, over the broken boy even. I will protect it with my life. Because I may never get him again. And if I were to somehow in my own stupid way ruin this, he’d become a lost star I’d likely never find again.

The CDC Has a Leadership Crisis
A 2023 law championed by Republicans requires the CDC have a director confirmed by the Senate. For months, though, it’s had only acting directors—and the White House won’t say when that will change.

America’s Health Guardian: Adrift at the Helm
A 2023 statute, spearheaded by Republicans, dictates that the CDC must be led by a director whose appointment is confirmed by the Senate. However, for several months, the agency has been overseen solely by interim directors, and the White House has declined to state when this arrangement will conclude.
