Overamping Prevention

#factsmatter

In episode 3 of #FactsMatter we're talking about stimulant overdose, also known as Overamping. We will discuss what stimulants are, what Overamping is, the signs and symptoms to watch for, and what you can do if you or someone else may be overdosing on stimulants. We also discuss polysubstance use and how that can effect Overamping. Big thanks to the Harm Reduction Coalition and all their invaluable resources on stimulant use and Overamping.
