The worst experience ever.

If they did give this out, itd save lives, ambulance/doctors, but im slightly worried some people would take that possibly as cart blanche to increase dosage. For codeine I was once administered activated charcoal. Thats if its caught early though. I collapsed once, thhank god to naloxone or id be dead. methadone did give me my life back, subutex/methadone, as previously mentioned, im now off codeine and methadone.

No, I don't think providing naloxone would cause people to increase dosage, due to the extreme pain/fear/terror of a dose of naloxone after a O.D. Not talking from experience, but it's meant to be like the worst withdrawal all at once!. They do need to give this out though!
 
My methadone nurse was mad they never told him, it gets it all out the liver, you wake up. I had no o.d, I did have a pyschological dependency however. I had no huge withdrawal after 1000mg++stale codeinee, etizolam, alcahol. Next moment im looking at disco lights in a nightclub and theres me waking up. Each person reacts different to drugs.


I PHONED, THEY GIVE IT TO PATIENTS WHO ARE IN DANGER OF ODING, OR SEEING SOMEONE ODING, NURSE GOES IN EACH THURSDAY. iTS IN A PEN, PATIENTS ARE TRAINED BUT CARRY IT THEMSELVES.

iT SHOULD SPREAD TO OTHER SECTIONS HOPEFULLY, THIS IS NORTH EAST HERE I LIVE.

Feel free to post scan of leaflet but folks also need to bear in mind they really should get the info firsthand from their doc/DSP ideally. There's nothing complicated about using Naltrexone (it's just a case of injecting the amp (or pre-prepared pen in some parts of the country) into the thigh or any other large muscle) but is best if you are at least somewhat familiar with how to inject IM - basically how to avoid major veins and arteries. The very concise necessaries being that it's the opposite to IV injection - when you pull back the plunger you don't want to see any blood at all, if you're in the muscle proper you should just pull back air (which is fine to inject in a muscle but obviously don't go injecting empty barrels for giggles or owt).
 
Yeah

I'll ask to record the session in audio, unless I can get vid, if i can find my iphone. I'll need to remember this myself. AFter permission ofc, patients cant be filmed, nurse may consent. I'm getting a prescription of something unrelated, i'll ask for a leaflet.
 
To chime in on the legal aspect: I've had an ambulance called for me twice, in different circumstances (one mis-diagnosed dissociative hole, one seizure), and in neither case were the police called. The paramedics have a duty of care, and are required to call the police to assist them if they decide that you need treatment or monitoring and you refuse to go with them of your own free will. But they tend to be very understanding and patient people, and on both occasions they've stood about and waited for me to come round from my stubborn state (not understanding what's going on and insisting on staying put) until I had the wherewithal to accept their position and go to the hospital. Fucking legends.
