Drug overdose

The term drug overdose (or simply overdose or OD) describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended or generally practiced. An overdose may result in a toxic state or death.

Classification

The word "overdose" implies that there is a common safe dosage and usage for the drug; therefore, the term is commonly only applied to drugs, not poisons, though even poisons are harmless at a low enough dosage.

Drug overdoses are sometimes caused intentionally to commit suicide or as self-harm, but many drug overdoses are accidental, the result of intentional or unintentional misuse of medication. Intentional misuse leading to overdose can include using prescribed or unprescribed drugs in excessive quantities in an attempt to produce euphoria.

Usage of illicit drugs of unexpected purity, in large quantities, or after a period of drug abstinence can also induce overdose. Cocaine users who inject intravenously can easily overdose accidentally, as the margin between a pleasurable drug sensation and an overdose is small.

'Overdose' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Overdose

I see you in the mirror
You're outshining everyone
So cold it makes me numb
I almost died again
I tied a rope around my neck
So don't you ever let go
Don't give up now, breathe in and out
Do you, feel it at all
We played the show, one song to go
That's too long
And it's like swallowing glass
It turns me inside out
I don't recognise myself at all
And I'll overdose on anything you've got
Coz I don't want to die alone
I'm taking you down
Don't give up now, breathe in and out
Do you, feel it at all
We played the show, one song to go
That's too long
Don't give up now, breathe in and out
Do you, feel it at all
We played the show, one song to go
