Overdose
Facts |
|
|
| Although national rates for hospital emergency department (ED) mentions of club drugs were low in 2002 (with none exceeding 2 mentions per 100,000 population) and no increases were measured from 2001 to 2002, significant increases in certain club drug mentions were apparent from 1995 to 2002. MDMA ED mentions, for example, increased from 421 in 1995 to 4,026 in 2002; and GHB ED mentions increased from 145 in 1995 to 3,330 in 2002.

| Methadone overdose is a serious medical emergency. In the event of suspected overdose call an ambulance. If the person is losing consciousness lie them on their side in the recovery position so that they will not choke if they vomit.

|
| You should never break, chew, or crush the OxyContin tablet since this causes a large amount of oxycodone to be released from the tablet all at once, potentially resulting in a dangerous or fatal OxyContin overdose.

|
| An Ecstasy overdose happens when you consume more Ecstasy than your body can safely handle. Ecstasy users are constantly flirting with drug overdose, and the difference between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death is often quite small.

Percocet Overdose
Percocet when abused can be taken orally in pill form, chewed, or crushed
(then snorted like cocaine). Percocet addiction is a major risk with prolonged
use (over 2-3 weeks) of. Even moderate doses of Percocet can result in a fatal
overdose. When increasing doses of Percocet an individual may at first feel
restless and nauseous and then progress to loss of consciousness and abnormal
breathing. Other risks include withdrawal symptoms that may last for months
as well as the risk of overdose.
Everyone's body is different but as little as half a pill of Percodan when
combined with other depressants can lower your respiratory system enough to
kill you. Taken in high doses these Percodan tablets alone can kill you.
Symptoms of a Percocet Overdose include:
- stupor
- coma
- skeletal muscle flaccidity
- cold and clammy skin
- hypertension
- circulatory collapse
- cardiac arrest
