For Opioid Overdose "I’ve carried Narcan nasal spray for the last three years, after a friend I’d never suspected to have a drug problem had nearly died of an opiate overdose when he’d relapsed. And feeling anxiously helpless about not wanting him to die, I dove into online research and decided that carrying Naloxone nasal spray was something I could do in order to help anyone near me dying as a result of a relapse. He’s never once needed it, but six separate times I’ve administered it to unhoused strangers utterly foreign to my life until I stumbled upon them while I was biking or walking in Portland. Naloxone was miraculous and gave them a bridge that successfully saved their lives by keeping them breathing until an ambulance arrived with paramedics. EVERYONE should carry it. Period!"

For Opioid Overdose "My parents administered Narcan nasal to me after finding me with pinpoint pupils and non-coherent. I had snorted what I thought was a 30 mg OxyContin I bought off the streets. But it was fentanyl. I am writing this today because Narcan saved my life! Thank you for this miracle drug..."

For Opioid Overdose "I was given a spray of this in the nostrils after experiencing labored breathing from taking hydrocodone. A few minutes after receiving the Narcan spray, I was on the floor! I had dripping body sweats, I couldn’t hear, couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, nothing! It was like I was in a coma! I laid there for maybe an hour before this wore off and I started feeling better. I would have rather just dealt with the breathing issues than go through that! It was the scariest experience I’ve ever had. I didn’t know if I was experiencing a stroke or heart attack. All I know is I couldn’t move for an hour! This may help some people but I don’t think it’s good for all. I’ve never experienced this kind of horror even when pounding the opioids down!"

For Opioid Overdose "I died 56 times. It was once a week on average for the year I was shooting up heroin. I have all the Narcan containers on the wall in my friend's garage. The nasal spray has the worst of the side effects. Your head starts ringing and gets progressively more intense. The taste when it eventually hits the back of your throat is awful and lingers for ages. It seems that the precipitated withdrawals are much more pronounced than they are with the injection (IM/SC). After about a year on heroin, I switched to fentanyl and experienced only 6 overdoses during that following year of daily use. I attribute the lower overdose rate to a more consistent opioid level/quality despite the increased efficacy of fentanyl. Narcan/Naloxone has saved my life so many times, and I’ve used it on at least a hundred other people."

For Opioid Overdose "I found my son unresponsive, blue, and barely breathing. CPR was given until paramedics arrived. He overdosed on heroin that was laced. Narcan saved his life!!!"
