Do you know the signs of an overdose?

Today is Overdose Awareness Day and we want to make sure as many people as possible know the signs of an overdose:

Deep snoring/gurgling noises

You can’t wake the person up, and they don’t respond if you shake their shoulders or call their name

A blue tinge to the lips, nail beds or other extremities

They have stopped breathing.

If you think someone has overdosed, call 999 and wait for an ambulance. You can also give them naloxone, but this will only be effective if they have taken opioids or drugs contaminated with synthetic opioids.

If you think someone is overdosing but you aren’t sure what they’ve taken, you can still give them naloxone. It won’t hurt them, and it could help them.

For more info on naloxone and how to help someone who has overdosed, visit our website:

Lean, also known as purple drank, syrup or sizzurp, is a mixture of cough medicine containing codeine and a soft drink. People take lean to experience feelings of relaxation, euphoria, or drowsiness.

Lean can cause serious side effects. Codeine is an opioid, so taking it can lead to physical dependence – and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if you stop.

Other side effects can include:

- Slowed breathing
- Loss of consciousness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Reduced control over movements

If you’re going to take lean, start low and go slow, and try not to take alone. Having someone with you, or who knows your plans, can be life-saving in an emergency.
