See below: Narcan (naloxone) would not work because of its short half life. Ultra low dose Naltrexone might lower dosage (0.25 mg once or twice daily) otherwise, you need to detox completely and consider full dose Naltrexone to reduce long term abstinence syndrome.

Need evaluation: You should be seen by your pain dr. And discuss weaning yourself off this drug. Narcan (naloxone) is temporary and can cause symptoms of acute withdrawal.
