My girlfriend overdosed last night and I tried saving her , she stopped breathing her heart stopped as well , called 911 and officers gave her Nalaxone and a few cpr chest compressions and she woke up breathing , and I was crying tears of joy to finally have her back , nalaxone truly is a beautiful thing ... please put the opiates down I almost lost someone really close to me today .
Put here in rehab

@@AK-tf3fc if you don't care what you watching this video
@@pedrodperete rehab doesnt work if your forced into it. You can put an addict in a situation where their forced to be clean for a while. But intil they want to get better they won't.
@@AK-tf3fc jesus fucking christ dude what is wrong with you?
Tbh we need naloxone in first aid kits.
I carry narcan with me in my backpack wherever I go bc I live in an area with a lot of opiod overdoses so I have it ready for if anyone needs it I have used it many times and every time it thankfully brought people back.
I always have one on me too, my husband overdosed pretty often. May god watch over him,
Ew I would move what losers do drugs
Pfft let them go there's a reason we overdose
If they banned naloxone people would stop doing opioids. People go on drugs like heroin and opiods because they feel safe doing them because people carry naloxone. The government needs to use tough love and ban naloxone.
@@pedrodperete ?
Was watching body cam stuff and wanted to figure out how narcan worked..
Man, whomever invented that stuff are actual heroes.
My mom passed away June 2, 2018 as a result of an overdose from fentanyl laced in cocaine and heroin that she took that morning. Her heart was said to have stopped immediately, but no one knew she was dead for hours. I wish I had called her one more time.
That sucks. Sorry for your loss.
🙏🙏
I AM SO SORRY 😞 FOR YOUR LOSS!
Hope you're doing okay, Peyton. I'm really sorry you lost your mama to fentanyl poisoning. Big hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss
Ive never seen a drug on the streets that can take your life so quickly, Ive also never seen a drug on the street can revive someone so quickly.
This is a great presentation! I wonder who can I ask to re-use this video on my youtube channel. I am a nurse and awareness to this type of incidental injury is very important.
Holding pain killer companies responsible would be a swell move but baring that i guess we'll just have to make super drugs
Responsible for what? Not their fault or problem that people are abusing their drugs. Easy to blame a company vs the actual person doing it.
@@genericwhitemale1114 what? ... the company has a long history of lieing about the addictive nature of the drug. It was so popular that by the time government started getting a handle on the situation it had already effected millions and became a staple in black markets. What chance did the public have?
Also, you realize that letting someone ruin their life with a drug addiction is more expensive than just... treating the drug addiction.
@@MaestroAlvis when? What is the timeline you're refering to? Pain killers are prescribed by a doctor. Doctors are over prescribing their patients. People will do drugs no matter what.
@@genericwhitemale1114 I never mentioned a timeline.
You're forgetting that Perdu went out of their way to market their drugs to doctors. Perdu registered their drug as a SAFE pain killer for cancer patients (lie #1) and then advertised their drug as a pain killer for general purposes (lie #2). Even if the doctors who did all their due diligance, would have been convinced. By the time we get to the patient at the doctor's office, there was no reason to think the drug is unsafe.
Sam Seder just did an interview on the Sackler family. Look it up.
@@genericwhitemale1114 btw, I don't care if you don't give a shit about the drug addicts. Richer people then you are starting to think that its its cheaper to cure them then to let them die, and in our glorious capitalist utopia that means you can leave your money on the table and fuck right off.
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.
This is something noble.
This is informative but I hate how they described how dependency can start and the withdrawal symptoms bc opioid withdrawal is probably the worst pain on earth and I’ve had my fair share of life experiences to be able to compare the pain pretty well!! Wd are the worst possible pain but it’s all worth it for a better life and I thank god every day I made it through that bc so many people can not it’s not something you can just quit thank god for things like nalaxone and suboxone they truly save so many lives and so many families from so much pain and suffering!!
It’s a pain, no one whose never went through it will understand.
Excelente explicação. Muito obrigado.
Narcan saved my life
My mom has this Narcan kit in my little brothers stroller. She got it for free (I don’t remember where) and she puts it in the stroller in case she needs it
RIP BIG BRO DYLAN 💯💯💯 he got laced weed and his uncle found him 2 hours later 😔
Just saved someone literally hour or so ago
through the time line. most of this hard sht is happening cause marijuana was illegal for so long.
Would you please explain the difference between Naloxone and Subutex? Thank you.
subutex is a substitution treatment with heroin opiates naloxone is a kind of antidote the words is bad choice but naloxone can save a person who overdoses any opioids it saves lives but this is not a reason for this immortal believe in opiates despite the help of naloxone people dies every day take care of yourself and if possible never take opiates it's hell and not only for the addicted person but for the entourage too
Julien Arbor My mistake...I meant Suboxone; not Subutex. I have to take opioids due to chronic pain; unfortunately chronic pain patients have been truly victimized by the “War on Opioids” with many committing suicide... including a large number of Veterans. See the #BlueBallonCampain on Twitter. I’d rather not take another pill in my life, but I would also be bedbound if that were the case.
Suboxone is a combination of two drugs to treat opioid dependence. Learn more: medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a605002.html.
Naloxone is used in an emergency situation to reverse the life-threatening effects of an opiate overdose. More about Naloxone: medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a612022.html
It's a combo of both but very lil naloxone in Suboxone (subutex is Suboxone minuse the naloxone so it's more like methadone but less addictive and can't be used to kill pain like cancer patients on mdone)
Are drug rehabs or dual diagnostic centers in Florida required to have Narcan on hand in their bldgs? My daughter was given suboxen and clonazapam and Librium together and they obviously didn’t check on her for quite awhile as she died as a result. Could Narcan have saved her life? If they had checked on her like they should’ve she wouldn’t have died I know but if they had Narcan why wouldn’t they have tried it??? It angers me to see that her death shouldn’t have happened at all being it her first night there!!! 😡😡😡
@Mary Duncan Suboxone has a small dose of naloxone. Im sorry for your loss.
Is this OTC? Everyone should have access to narcan!
I've heard that most big chain pharmacies carry narcan and you should be able to get it over the counter.
Can I use this as a reference in my first Aid classes.
Are you accepting payment for these lessons? If you are, email the channel, if not, just use the video.
@@ezgolf1764 This is the National Library of Medicine. I don't think they care.
@@iloveplasticbottles eh, better safe than sorry
Can this be used in other meds like antidepressants and cocaine?

What about a combination of Propofol and Morphine? How does Naloxone interact with these situations?
It will work
An expired Narcan saved my brothers Life yesterday.
This is why I just stick with recreational cannabis lol
14 drug dealers disliked this
Not really lol. Naloxone saves their clients
@@Zwpz yeah drug dealers will sometimes package narcan along with the drugs so they’re less likely to be held liable if the person dies
Why would a drug dealer want their clients to die off? Makes no sense.
This is saving and has saved many lives - including mine in the early 1990s when it was only in injectable form. There was no FASH, then - Phony Alternative Substitite for Heroin i.e. fentanyl - but thank God Narcan works for fentanyl overdoses and it is now in a nasal spray. It's not a good thing to say but as a self respecting heroin addict using for 30 yrs., I won't go near fentanyl and fentanyl got me clean - because I won't use it. After surgery in 2004, my Dr gave me fentanyl patches. They didn't know what the correct dosage was for a human - imagine that! Because of the people I know and where I live, I carry Narcan nasal spray in my bag. Every day I hear of someone who overdosed.
This website published studies of opioid injectors in the Massachusetts area. They showed pictures of the substance in the spoon and withdrawn into the syringe. The colors of the liquid in the syringe and the substance in the spoon with water prove that crap is not heroin. 99% of the time you can see through the liquid in the syringe no matter how dark it is - but yellow, milky, powder that cakes are substances one should never shoot. It's not heroin and chances are it is flesh eating. But if you're using PLEASE carry Narcan. Narcan saves lives. Get on Suboxone film strips. Take a couple for a few days and stop - with no withdrawals - much like methadone. When sentenced for jail I went on the meth program for 4 days. Had one night if no sleep - no other factors - but big deal, sat up a d talked to a C.O. all night. Same with Suboxone. This is the 21st century. There are good medications, today. At 68 years I've been clean for 5 years with the suboxone film strips and have NO DESIRE to use fentanyl. I had been using regularly in the NYC area since my early 30s - late 9bloomer. Please, stay away from that pure garbage, FASH - PHONY ALTERNATIVE SUBSTITUTE FOR HEROIN.

That nicee
Naloxone sounds like it is very useful in combating opiate addiction. So how easy is it to obtain naloxone? Does it require a prescription?
You can get it from a needle exchange. It's useful if you have family members that are using or you work in an industry where opioid use is prevailant. I work with complex mental health and many of our clients use opiates so yes I will be finding some to carry with me
But it won't combat use. Rather it can help with overdose events. Those using opiates can go on a maintenance program through their GP where naloxone is used in a drug called suboxone which has traces of naloxone in it. That is through your GP.
"Some states require a physician to prescribe naloxone; in other states, pharmacies may distribute naloxone in an outpatient setting without bringing in a prescription from a physician." To learn more visit: www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/opioid-overdose-reversal-naloxone-narcan-evzio

Naloxone combats opioid addiction? It doesn't reinforce it?
everytime I had an overdose or a loved one had one the hospital also prescribed like 3 or 4 of them for us to take home and that helps a lot because people tend to use again after narcan since it makes them very sick
Good #presentation, but I'd give it a 75 as a result of the arrangement of #colors.
video starts at 1:49
Funny whenever people die temporarily they never see again. Just blackness no memory no thought just nothing now that’s terrifying
Huh?
She’s saying when someone overdoses there temporarily “dead” in her terms. So when someone is saved from Narcan they wake up not remembering their temporary “death” in kimmy Kool-AIDS terms. So the thought of not remembering because all you remember was just nothingness and black it’s terrifying to her because maybe that’s what happens when we die. We see nothing. In her terms lol Did that help @Wooly Kitty Haven?
Ya know I’m all for saving a life but how come a common drug addict get a free shot of a expensive nasal spray but a diabetic patient still have to pay a fortune just to live normally?
I see where you are coming from with this comment. But just like narkins Is used on the spot to save lives people have to still go get care after this in the hospital usually only works for 30 minutes or so in the obviously knocked off the receptors for that long So it saves your life for a short time but the people don't go get Karen the hospital afterwards then they're going to most likely still die if they don't have tons of narkin
So I guess you answer your question Whether you like to hear this or not usually when people have to have the type 2 diabetes medication it's because they didn't take It's seriously when they were told that they had diabetes they still kept eating the same way and didn't start taking medication or stop drinking So when they get types of diabetes they have to be Way more careful And there medication is expensive but if they are lower income there are things that they can do to make their medication cheaper but I see what you're saying if you're a regular working class person that doesn't make a lot of money but isn't homeless but yes it is very expensive but there are a lot of programs and things too help these people for their medication please don't be bitter about who survives you doesn't or who the medical field cares about and who doesn't I believe that every life matters and Spreading knowledge on how to save lives and helping save lives for people who want their lives saved Is important Being bitter open Portals for Demonss*** To come in
It nearly saved juice 😔
Shayan999 sad asf, I think the damage would’ve have been done though
I was here to see how to cuz of juice situation😔😔😔💔💔💔💔
I’m trynna figure out how it worked from everyone else except juice?
@@Siironn Juice was an idiot, he took way more than he could’ve possibly saved from.
@@Siironn depends on the dosage administered and dosage of the opioids taken and also by the timing.
If you intervene when the person has already gone into cardiac arrest it won't help much. Some fentanyl analogues require massive dosages of naloxone as they bind to the receptors very strongly. In some cases an opioid overdose leads to pulmonary edema and when that happens the prognosis isn't favourable even with Narcan as naloxone won't reverse the lung damage.
Reading comments just mindblowing how bad the situation in the US is , it’s such a small niche problem here in Netherlands, I think entire of Europe doesn’t really have it , perhaps some poorer less “socialist” East European countries
but weed is illegal
I wish y’all all cared about the crack epidemic like this. A lot of us would have had fathers/mothers if so!
Naloxone causes terrible anxiety for me, does it do this to any one else?
Why are you taking naloxone? It is for overdoses only... so why are you taking it?
ummm... when exactly are you taking it?
Omg people are now abusing this too? 😑 it's an overdose antidote for gods sake.
@@wolfie9731 and gasoline is for cars, doesn’t stop people from abusing it
@@aero3318 imagine huffing the benzene and other solvents from gasoline when you can just go get real drugs lol
And they couldn't save Juice bruh
Just no. Wouldn’t do it.
Im sorry but the little dude with the N on his chest is hilarious.
opiods pog
Make weed legal no restraint and opioids will stop
They generate the opiod crisis and then they sell you the narcan... Lol
The company that produces NARCAN doesn't produce any kind of opioid medication
Or don’t do drugs that way won’t need it maybe
Yea but it just isn’t that simple unfortunately.
this isn’t exactly being advertised to people who don’t use drugs, you know that right?
This medication is still necessary. If you have one with you and you live in places with high drug consumption, you can potentially save a life.
Your comment solves nothing.
why to rescue ? sooo many people on this earth
If they die they die. They chose death by doing the drug.
Tf? Lol
Skip the rescue breaths you don’t want to give them popcorn lung just stick to chest compressions if you don’t believe me ask a doctor or go look up doctor mike
You've got it so wrong and backwards!!! Read the pamphlet in the Narcan kit. NO CHEST COMPRESSIONS! Just breathe for them and don't stop until they come back! Lack of oxygen is so dangerous
...Using a drug to save the lives of people that don't care enough about their lives to stop doing opioid drugs. (my unsolicited opinion).
👎🏽
It’s a big circle , the company manufacturing nalaxone is the same company who started making fentanyl first . More fentanyl now every fire dept. police and the public need to buy naloxone
Let's not use narcan anymore and make a point.
Most moronic statement
