Is an overdose considered suicide?

Q: My twin sister’s son in law was found dead this morning. He was 26 and left behind a beautiful little five year old daughter. He was involved in a near fatal auto accident (passenger) that almost took his life a few years ago and I think he was addicted to pain killers and sleeping pills. The coronor is saying suicide, I feel that accidental death due to overdose is what should be listed as cause of death. What do you think?Thank you so much my first two answerers. Ryan’s Mom and NaeNae. I am just staggered by the loss. I just hope his little girl, my grand niece will be okay. I am just boggled by the whole thing. thank you for your kind answers. ((((Sheri))))

A: i agree with you. i was once on oxycodone for knee pain. the pain was every day and when the medicine wore off, i took more.it got to the point that the prescribed dosage didnot help with the pain so i increased my dosage on my own, in other words i became addicted to the pain medication, but, my family noticed and voiced thier concern, and i had to admit i had a problem. so, i stopped taking or getting any of this medication anymore. plus, my primary care doctor recognized my problem and helped me through it. i could very well have died, but, not intentionally. my body and mind wanted the effects that i got from the meds the first time i took it, and it began to take more and more of the meds to get me there. doctors need to monitor patients that they have on pain meds. i’m truly sorry for your loss. let’s hope some one learns a lesson from his addiction and following death.

control yourself if you overdose on prescription painkilling pills?

Q: so one of my guy friends basically got very touchy with me when i was sleeping and i mean extremely…. and later his excuse was because he took twice as many pills as he was supposed to. anyway i was wondering how well you can control yourself if you over indulge on pain meds? cause i think he knew what he was doing he remembered it just fine.

A: There’s no way to know really. All pain meds have different effects and different people have different reactions to them. Many pain meds do have a sedating effect.However, either way, what he did is his responsibility, legally and morally. It’s frankly inexcusable for anyone to be “touchy” with a sleeping person. Sorry to say, but to me, this sounds like a bad excuse. I’m sorry that happened to you.

Possible overdose, with questions a day later?

Q: Well, yesterday I had taken 5 Advil liqui-gels for a migraine (not a blind dosage, I have been taking advil for a long while, dr said 4 was ok, and I had previously taken many more than that without any adverse affects, so I figured I was in the clear), but then 2 hours later took some prescription pain pills (mostly just to put me to sleep). It was a stupid mistake, by that time I had completely forgotten I had taken any advil. Anyway, they were 2 Darvocet100. Didn’t help me sleep any, wound up staying up too late, but woke up 2 hours after I’d fallen asleep, about 9 hours after ingesting the darvocet, and I was getting bad hot/cold flashes and having really weird dreams, but I wasn’t asleep for them…I would say hallucinations, but that sounds extreme. Also had a splitting headache the whole next day, and started throwing up a couple hours after I had woken up. I was then nauseous the next day, and all of today as well. Also have been having awful digestive issues along with the nausea. Diarrhea and that fun stuff.And here is where I know I drop even further down the IQ chart:Went to a friend’s house the day after the possible overdose incident, for a drinking party. Noticed some muscle pain, like lactic acid from exercising, but ya’know without the actual muscle work involved. Anyway, I googled that and found that dehydration can cause it (which is caused by alcohol), so that’s not any huge concern of mine, just throwing it in for information’s sake. Been feeling really sleepy lately too, can easily sleep for 18 hours a day, and still be tired upon waking (and not for lack of waking up. That’s 18 hours despite people trying to wake me up, and the 14 alarms I set every night for myself. I don’t sleep 18 hrs often, I usually drag myself out of bed after the 12 hr mark. But still, always exhausted.) But for the record, I don’t believe the tiredness is due to any pill issues, and it has been lingering for quite a while now, months even. Again, for information’s sake.Just wondering if anyone can offer insight on whether or not this could be an overdose, or bad combination, or just any help you would be able to provide. And I do not need any lectures on my awful, awful pill habits and all that jazz. Drinking is a very rare occassion too, so no prolonged drinking complications are a possibility.Please and thank you!

A: It’s possible that your muscle pain has been caused by extra tension that was diminished or went previously unnoticed because of the over-the-counter/painkiller use. The hot flashes, chills and weird dreams are all common symptoms of withdrawal. It’s possible that this is what you experienced. You’re tiredness and high level of fatigue/exhaustion could be totally unrelated or hand-in-hand. You might also want to check psychological disorders (such as depression) which are causing your restlessness (which is what I’m assuming you have since you took some pills to go to sleep), as well as your tiredness. How often are you taking “downers” to rest? if it’s often, your low energy could be due to a side effect of sleeping pills/muscle relaxers etc…called “morning sedation.” It simply means that under the influence of these medications, once the user rises, or is awakened, they experience of marked sleepiness and fatigue caused by the body remaining in a prolog used sleep mode even when it’s awake. Meaning your body isn’t fully awake even after being out of bed. This can last anywhere from 20 mins to 1 1/2hrs+If you find you are tired, frequently yawning throughout the day, and possess lack of interest in activities, you would want to refer back to my earlier suggestion of depression or even a glandular or neurological issue.
