Hey so I know someone who was a pharmacist for like 30 years, and when I mentioned this to them they said "no way". But we looked it up and it is for sure not a scheduled drug, meaning yes you can get it over the counter. The pharmacist was really surprised. The nasal spray form you can get for sure 👍
This varies from state to state, many have standing orders that allow you to pick it up from pharmacies without a prescription.
And you can get scheduled drugs over the counter, it's specifically schedule I (ie heroin, MDMA, LSD, cannabis, psilocybin) that's federally prohibited across the board. It's not common at all but someone could get fentanyl over the counter, or ketamine or meth (desoxyn). Those are schedule II, as are Adderall and Ritalin.
You're right, I always mix that up. It's a little confusing when it comes to Narcan because it's something that does get logged as a prescription. It's just, as I understand it, prescribed by each state's surgeon general for the entire state population.

They said they (the stores) never dispensed it very much in the retail setting
