Can neurological problems happen with opiate overdoses? I have no idea. It's not probable. BUT, the poster didn't ask about opiates except vaguely in the last question. He mentions overdose in general or on prescription pills. There are thousands on different chemicals you can OD on. Anything in the hallucinogen class can cause sometimes debilitating neurological problems. Until the poster makes his questions more specific, then I don't think anyone can answer them. I can definitively answer that there is a strong and scientifically proven case for drug addiction being strongly hereditarily linked.

Hi, I overdosed in 1983. I was sent to a hospital for detox immidiately afterwards. The only thing I really suffered afterwards for long term was anxiety and some visual impairment. I had a real hard time leaving the house because of panic attacks and anxiety and I saw floating bubbles for years and years. It did all eventually go away or atleast lessen to a very barable degree. Brain cells I beleive come back after you stop the drugs and I trully beleive it is all heriditary in a lot of cases. There are a lot of different reasons for the drug use but in the end addiction is a desease that can be carried on from family member. Whether it be alchohal or drugs. As for the spinal cord, I dont no of any damage that can be done because of an overdose but I am not positive. Hope some of this helps. Oh and it will matter how bad the od was whether any permanent damage is done.

Nothing. Very minor damage unless it is chronic use. "How can an over dose affect your spinal cord?" - Not even...
What can an overdose on pain patches do to your brain cells?  - Nothing

I would see a shrink actually if these things concern you.

These questions would be difficult for even a general practitioner to answer. These are specialized questions for possibly a neurologist or possibly a researcher in the gene therapy field. Why do you ask?
