Classical Conditioning

The interpretation of the rules of classical conditioning are incorrect in this article. While the environment would evoke the compensatory response much like the bell caused Pavlov's dogs to salivate, the unconditioned response would still come about from the unconditioned stimulus, just like food would still cause the dogs to salivate, regardless of their response to the bell. Thus, new environment or old, the compensatory response would be the same. I suspect the research article was interpreted incorrectly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.136.206 (talk) 20:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

"Overdose vs. drug-drug interactions

Added reference. Drug-drug interactions can contribute to an 'overdose', but are not necessarily the same as an overdose. 124.169.111.219 (talk) 02:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

how about abstainence?

Instead of "try a low dose first" or "be aware of periods of low tolerance..." How about simply "Don't use Illicit drugs." rawr —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.253.36 (talk)

Agreed... Not using drugs in a manner which is not part of the regimen prescribed by a doctor seems like the best way.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.229.26.210 (talk)

Please sign your posts. How can you say that abstinence from illicit drugs prevent all overdoses? And if a person is abstinent from a drug, how is overdose of that drug even an issue? The prevention methods are valid, they only need a little rewriting (Wikipedia is not a how-to guide) --GSchjetne (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


Question: should there be a mention of mixing drugs (e.g. barbituates and alcohol)? Or should that be a separate article? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)] 23:24, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

"Key points to prevent overdose on illicit drugs"

Sources, anyone?

"No mention of overdose risk and potency risk?"

I am sort of getting the impression that there should be more mention of the dangers of Heroin in this page as many people have died because of the drug. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bardock the Mexican (talkcontribs) Bardock the Mexican

Introduction

This article does not have a proper introductory paragraph. Could somebody add one? -- Denelson83 06:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
