Brief Answer:
Better to avoid, it will not get you high

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I would first like to urge you to not self-inject this medication as it can have serious consequences like seizures, pulmonary oedema, breathing difficulties, etc.

But in response to your query the drug's effect can last from 1 hour to about 3 hours. The only effects you may experience are a few withdrawal symptoms similar to those experienced by drug users (e.g. trembling, vomiting, etc.), so I do not think you can get high on naloxone, thus please avoid it. It is usually not given in combination with any other drug, so there is no point in taking anything in addition with this as it is a pure antagonist.

The uses of naloxone are:
-Treatment of septic shock
-Treatment of opiate overdose (avoid serious complications of drug overdose)
-And to prevent the abuse of opioids (drug abuse prevention)

I hope you find my response helpful and seriously consider avoiding drug abuse of all kinds. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes sir.
