=== 1. Call emergency services / go to the ER immediately if they have: very slow or irregular breathing, severe chest pain, loss of consciousness, blue lips/fingertips, severe confusion, or seizures. ===
# While waiting for help: keep them awake and sitting up if possible; if unconscious and breathing, place them in the recovery position; if not breathing, start CPR and get emergency help.
# Tell medical staff everything you know — what was taken, when, and how much. Even if the drug was bought illicitly, medical care is critical and information helps treatment.
# If they’re only mildly unwell (anxiety, palpitations, nausea) but stable, still consider urgent medical evaluation — symptoms can escalate.
# If you’re worried about longer-term dependence, encourage medical/psychiatric help — withdrawal from sedatives is a medical issue that may require supervised tapering.
