Overdose
Facts |
|
|
| 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.
|

|
| 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.

Ultram Overdose
Ultram is the brand name of the generic drug Tramadol (TRA-ma-doll). Ultram
is an analgesic used to treat or prevent pain. Ultram is not a non steroidal
anti inflammatory pain reliever. Ultram is not classified as a narcotic. Ultram
binds to certain opiod pain receptors in the body by blocking the reuptake
of the neuro chemicals norepinephrine and serotonin, it modifies the pain
message which results in pain relief. Introduced in 1995, no control was recommended
based on review of its uncontrolled use in 40 other countries. However, once
released in the U.S., abuse became readily apparent. Ultram is addictive.
Large doses can interfere with the ability to breathe, especially if taken
with alcohol.
An Ultram overdose happens when you consume more Ultram than your body can
safely handle. Ultram abusers are constantly flirting with the risk of an
overdose, and the difference between the high they're seeking and serious
injury or death is often quite small. An overdose of Ultram can be fatal.
If you suspect an overdose, seek emergency medical treatment immediately.
Symptoms of Ultram overdose include:
- skin rash
- itching
- seizures
- hallucinations
- cold and clammy skin
- low body temperature
- slowed breathing
- slowed heartbeat
- drowsiness
- dizziness
- lightheadedness
- seizures
- deep sleep
- loss of consciousness
