Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I will be very very direct considering the nature of the query
Its an emergency
Get the person to a hospital as soon as possible.
Any drug overdose needs to be treated
It may not turn out to be anything significant
But if there is something going wrong, hospital is the best place to be.

I would suggest a RT wash and atleast 1 day in hospital for observation
Best of luck
