If you're passed out from a fentanyl overdose, there's no way you can administer narcan on yourself, so carrying narcan is for saving someone else.

People dealing with you might find your personal supply of narcan and administer it to you. The protective effect of your narcan on you is significantly more than the zero you seem to be implying.

Yep. I keep it as accessible as possible and tell all my friends where it is ahead of time to prevent any slowdowns just in case.
