Possible Overdose?

Hey everyone, just a quick question. A day or two ago a friend and I picked up dope from our usual dealer. Usually my friend and I will go somewhere to shoot up after we pick up but he was in a hurry to get to work so I just dropped him off instead

After that I decide to park in a nearby parking lot to fix. I used my usual amount shot up and kicked back to relax and enjoy it like I normally do. Well, before I knew it I opened my eyes and 2 hours had gone by. I woke up extremely confused and really out of it everything felt in slow motion and I could barely keep my eyes open.

I very rarely ever nod out from dope or any opiate for that matter. Has this happend to anyone before? Did I overdose? Is there anything I can do if that happens again as soon as I wake up to prevent myself from falling back out?
 
I've never been 100 about what makes it a for sure OD. respiratory failure/heart failure? you will be treated as an OD by health professionals if you are unresponsive bc things can get WORSE.

there's no way to know how bad off you were. Maybe you would have snapped out of it had someone tapped you on the shoulder. this is why you SHOULDN'T USE ALONE. this isn't always possible, i know. so, be modest with your shot (test shot if you have enough) and/or ask someone to call or text in a few minutes. if you don't respond they could notify ems? also, if you're worrying about nodding- walk. i have forced my bf on mile long walks when i suspected he was at risk of falling out. *not fun* lol

I've had a few situations like yours... some seem funny now, but I'm kind of jaded about my drug use. in fact, they were all bad situations for me and whoever may have found me eventually-had i not snapped out of it. BE SAFE!

It sounds like it was stronger than what you were used to. Even though it's the same dealer he could have switched 'product' or got a different source...it might have been stronger. I always always always test before I do usual dose, no matter if I go to the same person and think it's the same thing. Because they might not even know if it's the same or not even if they go to the same source.
Another thing, sometimes your body can react differently because of many factors. I have gotten stuff before and used a certain amount and was great. Had leftovers, a few days later the same dose felt way stringer and reacted differently. I don't know why, could have been a number of reasons. Not sure what...but from now on, I always sample.
I have been glad of that a few times. Sampling has saved my life a few times.
 
sounds like what happened to me almost everytime I shot china.. but in all serious this most likely indicates that the herion you got is better then what you are used to. Also because you went right out for two hours you were really pushing the envelope.. thats is exactly how people fall out for good. Please only shoot when someone else is there to help if you experience this again. Yeah thats how quick it happens. Glad your still kicken though. :) Oh and its never cool when someone walks by and see a person drooling on them self, possibly with the nail still stuck in, and calls the damn police as that happens quick.
