I couldn't remember having my own personal encounter with toxicity. But I've heard a story about someone I know who has been using Narcotics to induce sleep. Narcotics are known to alleviate pain when used in moderation and also promotes a restful sleep. Taking it on a regular basis leads to addiction, which happened to the person I mentioned in the start of this story. Little did the person know that she was already addicted to the substance and one time, she took a dose which is more than what she usually takes and caused her to be confused/lack concentration on the next day that lead to a deep sleep. Concerned friends were alarmed that they called a friend who happened to be a medical student who fortunately resolved the problem.
Narcotics when used excessively may cause seizures and even tremors. Examples of which are Morphine and Heroin. Such drugs causes high risk of addiction and they cause Central Nervous System (CNS) depression.
After that incident, the substance abuser started seeking for professional help to help her get rid of her unhealthy habit and from then on she learned a lot from her awful experience.
