Morphine Overdose?

[thecowpuncher]

A few nights ago I took around 30mg of morphine orally. I have little to no tolerance. I felt little effects then fell asleep feeling fine. Then the next morning I woke feeling fine except for a slight headache. I got out of bed and went to use the bathroom and started feeling weak and naseaus like I was gonna puke. So I ran back into my room and I collapsed and busted my lip open on the wall. Its like I just fainted for a sec. I got up and got in bed and then slept until 530 pm. I woke up better just with a headache. Did I OD?? Or did I just over do it a little?

Yes, it could have been too much for you, but it also often causes a sort of "hangover" in people who don't have tolerance. All the effects you mentioned are pretty common side effects/after effects of opiates. Unless you have an extremely high sensitivity to morphine you were likely not in danger of a lethal overdose though (aside from any risk of hitting your head or something not directly caused by the drug). The lethal dosage in people with no/low tolerance is usually over 200mg, except for people who are mixing it with other drugs/alcohol, allergic or super-sensitive.

Okay, good scary thing to wake up to thanks for the info.

That's not an acute OD, cuz there wasn't morphine in your system causing you to do that, but I've heard of similar things happening to non-tolerant people after dosing morphine (and other opioids) like that, having bad effects the next day.
