A member asked:
Can current drug use cause someone to fall into a coma or go unconscious if they had a recent massive overdose that left them in a coma two months earlier?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Overdose 2 months earlier would not be a cause of coma. However, repeat overdose would need to excluded as a suicidal person may repeat the overdosing.

This is a precarious situation which needs immediate attention due to life threatening repetitive actions. This "someone" should be evaluated by medical professionals now. Do NOT delay.
