Narcan should be available to anyone prescribed an opioid. I took them for 10 years for something that was surgical (after 10 yrs I finally was granted surgery and don't need them anymore). One of them interacted with another med I took and the opioid was not eliminated from my body. I stopped breathing even though I took it as ordered. This is NEVER discussed. I did not abuse them. Most people who take meds take them as directed, but they can have problems anyway. Naloxone, narcan should be available.

I just heard on MPR (MN Public Radio) on my way to work this morning that some would like to make it available over the counter so anyone could buy it. The next thing they talked about was the price point, though I didn't hear how much it costs. I didn't get to hear the entire program but it sounded good to me.
