dexedrine overdose by drug overdose.com

Up to 10,000 patients a year are being treated in Victorian hospitals for drug overdoses, new statistics show. And most have overdosed on prescription or legal drugs, including tranquillisers, anti-depressants and analgesics.

An overdose from cocaine can cause a serious increase in blood pressure, which as a result can cause bleeding in the brain leading to a higher possibility of a stroke.

Some heroin users have overdosed on their 'regular dose', after just a few week's break.

Drug overdose deaths are medico-legal cases investigated by medical examiners or coroners. Although medical examiner charts are recognized as a key source of information for monitoring such deaths, the accuracy of official statistics on drug mortality remains uncertain.
