Hulk Hogan Admits to Taking Life-Threatening Fentanyl Doses After Divorce

Hulk Hogan revealed he took extreme amounts of fentanyl to manage pain following his divorce from Linda Hogan. He described his reliance in the Netflix docuseries “Hulk Hogan: Real American,” the final interview recorded before his sudden death from a heart attack in July 2025. After signing with TNA for financial reasons, he found himself unable to compete without opioids. He said he used two 80 mg fentanyl buccal tablets each morning, wore two 300 mg patches and consumed six 1500 mg fentanyl lollipops. A pharmacist warned him that no one should survive such doses. His back pain was so severe that he could only sleep propped up in a chair. He made his last TNA appearance in 2012 and left the promotion when his contract ended in 2013.
