WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

Drugs affect everyone differently. Sometimes people suffer a bad reaction. It's important to know what to do if you find somebody ill after taking drug.

Amphetamines (speed), cannabis, ecstasy, LSD and magic mushrooms can sometimes make the user feel tense and panicky. If this happens:

• Calm them and be reassuring. Try not to panic. Speak in normal voice.

• Explain that the feeling will pass.

• Encourage them to settle in a quiet, dimly lit room.

• If they start breathing very quickly, calm them down and tell them to take long, slow breath.

Heroin, tranquilizers and misuse of gases, glues and aerosols can make the user feel very drowsy. If it happens:

• Calm them and be reassuring. Speak in a low, quiet voice and try not to panic.

• Don't frighten or startle them, or let them exert themselves.

• NEVER give coffee to rouse them.

• If symptoms persist, place them in recovery position (on the side), so their tongue cannot fall back and prevent breathing.

• Don't hesitate to call the ambulance if they don't start to become more alert.
