Does Naltrexone reverse a fentanyl overdose?

Hello, I’ve recently relapsed on fentanyl after years of being clean. Looked for H I guess it doesn’t exist on the streets anymore. Bought a gram and been doing small tiny bumps every few hours for a few days now. Every time I dose I start panicking thinking I’m gonna OD. My question is: does naltrexone pills stop a fentanyl overdose? I have some low dose naltrexone pills. Maybe 1mg each?? How many of these to stop an overdose from some small bumps of gray fetty powder? Might just keep these with me in case I feel like im about to OD I can just pop a few these bad boys reallly fast before the lights go out. When this shit runs out I’m switching back to kratom or better yet staying sober because this fetty shit is so scary but damn it I’m such a fiend for opiates weed and liquor just don’t do it for me
 
I don't think naltrexone can reverse an overdose. You want naloxone instead, and somebody to admin it in the event you did overdose.
 
Yes it will work but there two things you want to consider. First, unlike Naloxone, Naltrexone is very long acting and you will have the worst experience of your life where as Naloxone will make you have a similar feeling but it wears off quickly, similar to the Fent you're using.

Both will definitely reverse an overdose as they have the same action on the receptors but Naltrexone is normally use to prevent people from using opiates with it blocking action while naloxone was specifically formulated to reverse OD's with its short acting action but it also why you may need to redose, especially with the new synthetics that you may encounter.

You should get some Naloxone if you continue and even having this, you're likely NOT going to be able to administer it yourself so you're in a dangerous area if you decide to continue! Don't continue to do it alone and be sure to have someone ready with the Naloxone or you may become another statistic!

Thanks for your reply BadassMoFo. I ended up throwing the rest of my fetty into the ocean. I decided it ain’t worth it. The high was weak as fuck and I felt close to OD’ing and was by myself so I just got rid of it. I’m gonna try to get sober again or at least back to kratom and booze or something more mild like weed/edibles. It sucks because I’m an opiate guy to my core hate stims and weed donesnt do it for me but unfortunately opiates nowadays are the most dangerously thing to be on as everything has fent or something else. Guess opiates are not the move anymore and I either need to hop on the sober train or find a new DOC bc I ain’t becoming a statistic
 
Naloxone will act as a competitive antagonist. It has similar MOR affinity to fentanyl so does a reasonable job.

However - while it generally only takes one dose to reverse an overdose caused by H or similar, it's often the case that paramedics have to use two or three doses.

Thanks for your reply. I ended up throwing my fent into the ocean last night after a close call with an overdose and decided not to do it anymore. I’m trying to get clean again and not have to worry about any of this nonsense. Opiates aren’t cool anymore. It’s just a slippery slope that eventually leads to death and I have to get that through my thick skull. Thanks afain
 
Yes, Fetty sucks for most past users that are used to real opiates. I actually remember back in the day when I used to read of people abusing the patches by smoking the contents and as someone that received a lot of shots prior to surgical procedures wondered what they were experiencing because it was bunk being the purest shit given IV and it definitely wasn't pleasurable in any way although very effective for pain. It was specifically designed for very short term effects that weren't a desirable as other known opioids. It's also the same reason the cartels turned to it because it will make you want to comeback within a few hours or you'll suffer!

I wish I had better news about the state of opiates these days but unfortunately this is where we are. I hope others read this and follow your lead so they don't become a statistic.

I FEEL YOU ON THE SCARCITY OF STRAIGHT HEROIN. I DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO FENT POWDER, ONLY INCONSISTENT DIRTY 30'S. FENT FELT LIKE A DIRTY ONE NIGHT STAND. HEROIN WAS MY SOUL MATE.

CAN YOU USE WITH SOMEONE AROUND TO WATCH YOU?
 
Opiatekingg you near ocean, I’m jealous, but also good for chucking it, i am in recovery and my son has 2 years clean off Fentynl, he gets sub shot, he doing a recovery program probation based,so we moved away from our home state, I’m here to support him, yes Fentynl is not fent these days, it’s scary, I wish you best figuring out what to do, kratom, whatever, your life is so important, I’m glad you got to this point, best to you
 
I have asked, but how much does fentanyl cost? I've read that a 'dose' can be purchased for $2 but how many $2 'doses' actually makes a single dose for someone with tolerance?

I have no idea whatsoever how the stuff is sold. In the UK we have H which destroys far too many lives as it is but generally it costs £10 per point (0.1g) and in the town where I live is around 50% pure. Typically dependant users need three doses a day - so it's quite costly.

Is fentanyl that much cheaper?

Do more research because even in the UK the heroin is also being taken over by synthetics because they are UNBELIEVABLY less expensive to produce. From what I heard the UK has more issue with nitazines which is even worse then Fenanyl and is just as cheap to produce.

Do it before you find out the hard way!
 
You want naloxone aka narcan for reversing a od. Preferably in intranasal or IM form. Naltrexone takes up to a half hour to work so its no good fora od. When your having a fent od you dont have that kind of time you may only have minutes.

I am so glad that i have a morphine script and dont have to resort to dodgy street opiates. It's all fent here where i live. Well that and nitrazines which according to my friend cause worse wd's then fent. I was scripted fent for awile and ran out because my doctor went on vacation and i thought t was literally going to die from fent wd. Thankfully my nan had lots of tylenol 3's and she gave me a pile which did help somewhat with wd. The fent wd was just so intense. I canot imagine something like nitrazines being worse then fent to kick that is fucked

my son needed 12mgs of narcan sampling the local drug supply;
lucky I have a methadone script and had 8 mg narcan available
dont think we lost his heartbeat but he was not responsive or breathing. 200 sack o potatoes aint no CPR dummy.
My pain script while the narcan was not enough probably kept him alive while we administered Cpr for 15 minutes
4mgs additional narcan from paramedics woke him up.

I've noted that samples of fentanyl adulterated with CARFENTANIL in samples seized both in the USA and in Canada. If you aren't familiar with carfentanil, it's some two orders of magnitude (x100) more potent and it may be the case that naloxone cannot reverse it's effects.

Diprenorphine is the specific antidote to carfentanil poisoning. The problem is that diprenorphine itself is hazardous and as far as I know, should only be given to a victim if the overdose is known to be caused but a super-potent opioid such as etorphine, carfentanil, or such.

If you or someone you know used street opioids - get naloxone. It's free in most nations and by god it's amazing when it works.

NO, Narcan is what you’re thinking of…do some research online and you can get narcan free. My advice would be to slow down on the bumps and you won’t feel like you’re going to od

Narcan™ is simply a BRAND NAME of naloxone. Many nations do not use the brand-named product but if you have a box of Narcan, look a the list of actives and voila, naloxne hydrochloride.

Since the term 'hydrochloride' merely notes that the naloxone is in the form of it's hydrochloride addition salt, it can reasonably be ignored when referring to the drug.

My bad, I did know that.
