• Severe lack of responsiveness
  
• Speech difficulties and lack of balance
  
• Unresponsiveness and loss of consciousness
  
• Respiratory depression or failure
  
• Gastrointestinal distress
  
• Discoloration of the skin

• Stay sober and try to awaken the person
  
• Keep the person comfortable and secure to prevent further distress
  
• If the person experiences gastrointestinal distress, gently roll them onto their side to prevent choking
  
• Do not offer food or water unless the person is awake and able to swallow
