Easy use with inj in IV...everything else rates NO stars if that were an option! My husband and I were in our car, having just left the doc office. I had been fasting for tests, so nothing to eat and it was 2pm. We were looking for a place to eat and as he was driving, he said I dropped my purse and went limp. He could not wake me so he went straight to ER. Being type 2 diabetic, they thought low blood sugar, but it was 97. They asked my husband what meds I was on. I have been on morphine sulfate 30mg 3x per day, and hydrocode 10/500 up to 4x per day (most days 3 needed)..in pain management after having had multiple back surgeries and neck fusion after an accident in 2003. ER doctor quickly decided I had narcotic intoxication and kept asking us if I had taken an extra dose. We repeatedly said I had not, however, the doc insisted that when we got home we would find a dose missing. (This was NOT the case when we got home.) I keep my pain meds in a daily dosage pill container, so it is easy to see if I have missed a dose or taken a dose. Nevertheless, the doctor gave me an inj of this Narcan which immediately sent me into orbit. I was thrashing in the bed and trying to get off the bed to climb the walls! My hips were on fire where I have so much nerve pain...and down the backs of my legs. I repeatedly begged them to make it stop. Being a Christian, I prayed for it to stop. I have never had anything so horribly painful. It eventually subsided, but not completely. It has now been 5 days since this happened and I still feel it down in my hips and legs. I continue to take my pain meds as scheduled, but they don't seem to control the pain as they did before this happened. I have another doctor appointment this week to determine what to do next. I also have a large herniated disk and I am trying to avoid another surgery, so the physical thrashing around aggravated that even more. Note: Don't let ER give this to you if you KNOW you did NOT take extra meds!

I told them as soon as I woke up it was the serquel. I was given an IV for the nausea which I needed badly because of the shot.

I have sleep apnea.My breathing went down to 67. My son called 911, aid car. They said I was not awake. I was wide awake knew every thing happening. They said I had anoverdose of narcodics.I had gotout of the hosp.After surgery at 6pm the nurse gave me 2 percoset. I have taken 5mg of Methodone 5x a day,for Fibromialgia & Lupis.I have taken this for several years. I took 1 5 mg tab at about 10:00. Went to sleep woke up with blue lips. I did not use a cpap machine.The EMT.that was transporting me to the Hosp. gave me intervainous Narcan.Every muscle in my body spasm for about10 seconds each 10 sec. With only my head and butt touching the gerney. They continued to give it to me for about 5 or more hours.I begged to die, My tongue would flap out of my mouth.My daughter at the Hosp. heard the Doctor ask how much he gave me she heard 25 ? The doctor said "why so much".The doctor kept lowering the amount a little at a time.It was about 4 am when they came to get me and 930 am the last time I looked at the clock.I just passed out from it all. Yes I withdrew from my Methadone.after getting out of the hospital but would wind up in the fetal position all my muscles tighting up. I have such terrable aching from my hips past my feet. the only thing that helps is Tramadol.My poor tummy from all of the strain turned black from around my surgery sight down to my pubic bump.Thank God the surgery was not hurt, doc. feels. I wanted to die I begged them to let me die. I am a 67 year old widow going to a pain Clinic and following the contract as expected. I am no drugie.

I went in for an EGD because of acid reflux problems, when it was time to come out of the anesthesia I was given Narcan. What the nurse did not take into account was that I am on opiates due to disc degeneration from a motorcycle accident. I went into convulsions, sweating, uncontrollable shaking my heart was beating through my chest and could not breath very well. But I could hear everything clearly from the nurses desperation to the doctors trying to evalulate the situation.I swear I thought I was going to die without saying goodbye to my wife and daughter. I personally think you need to reiterate to your health care professional if you are on opiates before going under. Thank God it wasn't my time.
