    We need to normalize the dispensing of naloxone - a lifesaving medication to reverse affects of an overdose. We all have the opportunity to save a life and #enablerecovery. #USPHS2018

        Agree, but really need to decrease the use of narcotics that lead to the need for naloxone

        Thank you! The requirement for a separate exam and cert should be eliminated. Addicts know how to use buprenorphin...no test required.

        Naloxone is not treatment. Suboxone should be normalized as well.

        Replying to @Surgeon_General

        What about reducing overprescription to limit the reservoir of opioids? Instead of trying to resolve an OD after it happens, make sure it doesn't happen in the first place! Let's cut OUT the overuse of powerful synthetics and concentrated opioids; they kill.

        Naloxene is already normalized.

        Can we make epi pens free too. They also save lives. We have the opportunity to prevent a death that is not because of a series of bad decisions to injest an illegal substance.
