message: Added reference. Drug-drug interactions can contribute to an 'overdose', but are not necessarily the same as an overdose.

message: The interpretation of the rules of classical conditioning are incorrect in this article. While the environment would evoke the compensatory response much like the bell caused Pavlov's dogs to salivate, the unconditioned response would still come about from the unconditioned stimulus, just like food would still cause the dogs to salivate, regardless of their response to the bell. Thus, new environment or old, the compensatory response would be the same. I suspect the research article was interpreted incorrectly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.136.206 (talk) 20:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

This deals with overdoses (symptoms, myths and what-to-do) in a non-judgmental fashion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.168.14.130 (talk) 16:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone added to the Dab Homicide
: * Homicide (drug), a street drug composed of heroin, scopolamine, dextromethorphan, cocaine, and thiamine, known for lethal toxicity and resistance to anti-overdose drug naloxone
which cannot stay there bcz:
# The red/blue-link combo must have a single blue link
# The blue-link'd article must have some information on the name in the red link (and those do not, nor does naloxone
# There must be articles that actually link via the red link
(Nor on any other Dab pg in that form, since Dab entries do not exist to provide info, but to get users to other WP articles.)
Something related to Drug overdose seems like the most likely place, short of an article on drug-cocktails involving street drugs -- assuming, of course, verifiability; a blue link to such a page could appear in an entry at Homicide along the lines of
: * Homicide, street-drug cocktail known for overdose risk
or (if there is reason to link to the section from at least one existing article)
: * Homicide (drug), street-drug cocktail known for overdose risk 
Or something that a more suitable subject-area editor than i will come up with.--Jerzy•t 05:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: "It is very rare for a victim of an overdose to have consumed just one drug. Most overdoses occur when drugs are ingested in combination with alcohol.[24]" The cited article is an opinion piece, with no real factual supports listed pertinent to the current conversation. As it is from twenty-two years ago, before the current crest of this opiod crisis and prior to the adulteration of street opiods with the quantity of synthetic fentanyls, etc, it is not a provable factual statement that "most overdoses occur when drugs are ingested in combination with alcohol".
