A trip to the Emergency Room is paramount, and/or calling 911 to get immediate assistance.
What the Emergency Room will do is ask the patient what they took (name of medication or drug), how many they ingested during what period of time, and why.
If the person is unconscious the ER staff will begin to treat the overdose. They will start by pumping the stomach if the overdose was recent and there is a chance that it has not gotten into the bloodstream.
Certain medications, such as narcotics like morphine can be reversed by using a medication called "NARCAN", also called NALTREXONE", which immediately reverses the effects of the opiate (Morphine, heroin, and other opiates).
BUT MOST "SLEEPING PILLS" (also used for anxiety issues) that are prescribed by a physician are in a class called "benzodiazepines" (Valium, Ativan, Klonopin (clonazepam),Temazepam (Restoril). These medications, taken in large numbers, usually do not respond to chacoal treatment. So the doctors are left with few options other than to use dialysis to "clean the blood stream" of the substance, or simply monitoring the patient until the effects of the medication have worn off.
To sum it up, there is no way to stop sleeping after an overdose, unless there is an intervention made by professionals!
