[edit] "Overdose vs. drug-drug interactions

Added reference. Drug-drug interactions can contribute to an 'overdose', but are not necessarily the same as an overdose. 124.169.111.219 (talk) 02:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] how about abstainence?

Instead of "try a low dose first" or "be aware of periods of low tolerance..." How about simply "Don't use Illicit drugs." rawr

Agreed... Not using drugs in a manner which is not part of the regimen prescribed by a doctor seems like the best way....



Question: should there be a mention of mixing drugs (e.g. barbituates and alcohol)? Or should that be a separate article? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 23:24, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "Key points to prevent overdose on illicit drugs"

Sources, anyone?

[edit] "No mention of overdose risk and potency risk?"

I am sort of getting the impression that there should be more mention of the dangers of Heroin in this page as many people have died because of the drug. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bardock the Mexican (talkcontribs) Bardock the Mexican

[edit] Introduction

This article does not have a proper introductory paragraph. Could somebody add one? -- Denelson83 06:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
