you can always PM a first aid advisor with what you took and they will be able to advise you on what to do but my opinion would be to go get checked out right now as any OD can affect people differently and can cause different amounts of damage to you.

They're extremely distressed, they ODed, they feel ill, it's a legitimate question.

lozza · 06-06-2011, 04:20 AM

we also do not know what they took and hence if it did any damage or not....

any od- no matter how small usually has some sort of affect whether it be long or short term. I agree its a legitimate question and they also are allowed to post and ask for support.

Either way, it's against the rules to post how many he/she took. Do members not read the rules when they join anymore? Really?

all overdoses add up in your system with time..

Nah, I don't think many do. Just report it.

x could kill you on its own, or x could be a 'small' amount but ever heard of the phrase 'the straw that broke the camel's back'.. Seek medical advice if you are concerned.

Yeah, you need to take the number out of your post.

But, whilst X amount might not be fatal or considered serious, it is important that you seek some sort of professional help for yourself and do get seen to if you keep feeling pain. Overdoses can and will build up and then it'll get serious.

I appreciate that it might not seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things but if we say that this amount isn't much then it could be seen to encourage other people to do the same because 'it isn't serious'. To quite a few people the amount would seem like a lot because it's not as normal as it is seen here and it is some sort of a cry for help.

Hope I make sense :)

That makes perfect sense. You made a valid point about it encouraging others because it "isn't serious."
Every person's body is different and reacts differently to different amount of medication. If you are still feeling unwell you should get checked out. Also, if you don't have some sort of support than you should try and get some because ODs are serious. I understand that you don't have insurance but your life is more important than money. Check around your area, there is usually some kind of support group or free counseling available. I used to do volunteer work for a free counseling center.
