  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Individuals withdrawing from heroin may experience persistent withdrawal symptoms for many weeks or even months.

  • A number of fatal fentanyl overdoses have been caused by time-release fentanyl patches which were prescribed to legitimate users for pain; a defect caused the patch to malfunction causing an excessive amount of the drug to leak and become absorbed by patients, resulting in life-threatening side effects and death in some cases.
  • Individuals who use hashish often relapse back to use of the drug at the onset of withdrawal symptoms, and will begin to crave the drug to relieve these symptoms.
  • Taking Ritalin with large amounts of stomach antacid medications increases the amount of the drug that is present in the bloodstream; this type of drug interaction greatly increases the risk of a Ritalin overdose.
