Can anyone please give me some insight into what my boyfriend experienced? My boyfriend was found dead in his apartment at the beginning of the year...three days after he actually overdosed. He overdosed on heroin but until the toxicology report comes back we won't know if it was laced or how much was in his system. I am obviously devastated but being the kind of person I am, I want to know anything and everything I can about his death. What was he feeling? Was he scared? Was in aware of what was happening? I know that no one can tell me exactly what he was specifically feeling except him but I am hoping to gain some insight maybe from people who have overdosed but thankfully survived? Any and all information would be appreciated! Thanks.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. All opioids like Morphine, Oxycodone and Morphine and 3,6-diacetylmorphine (heroin) generally produce feelings of analgesia, calm, relaxation, pleasure and euphoria. Although it is tragic when anybody close to you passes, you may be able to gain some comfort that he was taking large amounts of an opioid which, although was too high for him to survive, would have given him these same feelings. An overdose is never a good thing, especially when it leads to the loss of life but your boyfriend would have probably experienced no pain, a sense of relaxation and calm and euphoria, before the high dose made him slip into unconsciousness and after that.. well.. he wouldn't have had any more pain. So yh thoughts go out to you but it's highly likely that your boyfriend's life was ended peacefully.
 
This thread has been answered now I think.

Overdoses of opioids are pretty much the "gold standard" in pallative care situations because you basically just fade off into oblivion peacefully. It's humane even if it is tragic.

Sorry for your loss, hope this brings you some closure.
