Tip from a medic- put patients into the recovery position TOWARDS you, not away. Not only is it easier, but you have access to their airways should they vomit or otherwise. Grab the furthest knee from behind (or pant leg) as well as the wrist, shoulder or shirtsleeve. Pull towards you, letting the patient rest mostly on their side with the knee you grabbed bent and pointed towards you. Place one or both of the victims hands underneath their chin or head, the goal being to be stable and keep their mouth facing in a direction in which if they were to vomit, they will not aspirate it. Please, don't be shy to ask a friend to lay limp on the floor for a few minutes so that you can practice this maneuver. I have unfortunately had to use this on both of my parents, a couple of friends and strangers. You may have just saved a life.

When he came around, he started swinging at his friend that was helping him. I guess he came around in a stupor state and did not know where he was or what was happening. He was literally chasing the guy around the street trying to punch him. I guess you have to be prepared for that. Thank you for doing that, you probably saved his life.

You can also learn to do rescue breathing. Rescue breathing is the old CPR minus the chest compressions. I’ve done it three times and all three of the people were OK. It takes about 15 minutes of breathing for them when I did it. I even did a modified version. When I pulled the person up off the couch, they exhaled, so I kept doing that. I just kept doubling them over so they were able to inhale exhale. I was sitting opposite of them, pulling their arms towards me. The staying alive CPR got screwed up so; so I did the entire thing that way and it worked. I thought about it afterwards, and I’m like why did I do the old CPR? The next two times which were within a few months I used rescue breathing.

In a real life situation, nobody comes to in 2 or 3 minutes and what I do not like about these instructions is that it does not tell you to do mouth to mouth. In all reality, they are going brain dead while you're waiting for the narcan to work, which usually takes 5 minutes. My rules to using it and I have saved many life's, is to one, set a timer right when you begin. Two, give one does of narcan. Three, hold there nose closed for at least thirty seconds and give them a few breaths, mouth to mouth. When you do this you will see the color come back into them for a second and go back away, so give them like two or three breaths every thirty seconds, but four and in between the breaths roll them on their side, they may puke and you don't want them to come back to choking to death on vomit. If and when they don't come back in 5 minutes then give another narcan. And remember, when they wake up they wake up in fight or flight so reassure them they are ok, don't drill them on how you feel about the situation, just let them know they are ok, they overdosed, just relax, because 100% of the time the first thing they wanna do is stand and they will fall right over, so keep them from doing this. Never lost one person that was with me in 15 years of being a heroin addict. But if you keep giving them dose after dose every minute, they could die from shock of severe w/d. But if they didn't come back within ten and paramedics aren't there yet, I would start giving them in twos.

glad there is Narcan around but it seems more like a crutch than a cure, the addict once revived usually refuses additional care especially if they are homeless, and usually they end up overdosing again and again as fentanyl is so strong even the near death experience does not even scare them into rehabbing themselves...

Most people experiment at a young age and unfortunately think they are invincible and I’d rather save a live than to think about the what’s next. I’ve seen a lot of recovery stories from survivors of overdoses I’m glad this is around now.

Not every overdose is an addict. My grandmother accidentally double dosed her new pain meds and nearly died. The paramedics said it took 2 doses of Narcan for her to respond. After that I started carrying Narcan as part of my edc ifak. Even if it's an addict though it's possible it could be a wake up call, maybe not but it possibly "being a crutch" is a terrible reason for more people not carrying a possible life saving medication. How will scare them into rehab if they're dead?

Once the plunger is pushed, it doesn't recoil back out. So, if the plunger is still visibly out, you know it hasn't been used and still has a dose. It is nearly impossible to give "half" or a partial dose of the spray because of how the plunger is designed.
