How come people who OD and get revived don’t suffer brain damage?

[ScaredToLive]

So I read the post on SN and it's scared me slightly as I kind of had this comfort that even if it failed or I backed out there wouldn't be a chance I'd be a vegetable, but that seems not as likely now.

However, I watch a lot of opioid crisis documentaries, and whenever they OD they get a narcan shot, or people say like oh yeah I OD'd 5 times, but these people don't have brain damage?

I fond this post?.........

From what I've gathered there are two possible outcomes of SN poisoning. The first is the poisoning is caught in time and treated properly with methylene blue which reverses the methemoglobinemia before any permanent damage is done. The second is the SN is left to do its job long enough to be irreversible. So it is either successful or it isn't with no in between.

I don't understand the full science behind it, but apparently up until the point of fatality the effect on the blood isn't enough to permanently damage any of the body's systems or components. Once the fatal level is reached then the damage is immediate and seemingly irreversible.
