[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 700387, member: 1963"] I'm sure you remember the year-long "discussion" about Narcan not working with Xanax that many of us had with Standswithcourage years ago. I've never even taken Xanax. I know its the most popular of the benzos to abuse because it's very strong, hits hard and fast, etc. It's also the most addictive of the lot. Only benzos I've taken are Valium (so many years ago that was RXed for back spasms), Lorazepam (Ativan) and Temazepam (Restoril). I'm not counting the injectable benzos they use to knock you out for surgery or dental work, like Versed. Xanax is notorious for causing blackouts, and quite a lot of people become aggressive during Xanax blackouts, especially if that's combined with alcohol, which mixture is also notorious for causing death. Depending on what kind of "pain cocktail" you are on, you might need to have 2 Narcan kits on hand. Some opioids last longer than the Narcan does and the Narcan can wear off before the opioid does and you're right back in OD-mode again. Also, having had Narcan after mistaking one of my husband's 80mg oxycodone pills for one of my RX antihistamines(half asleep and no glasses), and ODing, I can tell you that it is an extremely unpleasant drug to have to take. Don't get me wrong. It beats the hell out of death, but, Ugh! From what I understand, if you are an addict, it will throw you into a sort of "atomic withdrawal" instantly. [/QUOTE]
