What should someone do if overdosed on hydrocodone?

What do you mean?: True overdose, causing life-threatening symptoms of respiratory depression, low blood oxygenation, etc. Is a medical emergency and the patient should be taken care of in the er. Call 911. A "relative overdosage" causing nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, etc. Will probably pass on its own if you were not able to obtain medical care.
