In reply to URGENT - OVERDOSE QUESTION!!!, posted by Angel Girl on March 12, 2002, at 12:40:07
Angel Girl:
Why are you asking these questions? If you think you have overdosed or if you think someone you know has OD'you MUST call 911! If you are considering ODing or if you know someone that you think is going to OD, you MUST contact a physician or a crisis hotline or go to an emergency room for help-NOW.
Obviously, by the time you read this, my advice will not be relevant to your most recent post, but maybe, just maybe, you or your friend are ok for the time being. I don't have your email so I can't contact you directly and I don't even know how to contact anyone at Psychobabble, so this puts me and anyone else who reads your post at a tremendous disadvantage. Can't really help under these circumstances. I hope you have made it through the night and that, with the coming of the day, you are better. You know, it seems we feel the worst in the middle of the night when nobody is around to listen or to help, but, believe me, "this, too, shall pass." I've been there, done that! and NOTHING is worth ODing for!
Please, Please get some crisis intervention help and then some long term help and know that things do usually get much better if you can just wait it out!
Also, please think about your responsibility to keep yourself safe and to use your medications only in the way they were prescribed. I am a mother and it would kill me if one of my children OD'd. Call your parents or your doctor. The doctor who gave you these medications TRUSTED you to use them to help yourself, not to destroy yourself! That's a sacred trust and a contract between you and your doctor. Don't let him/her and the rest of us out here who feel helpless to help down!
