A friend keeps overdozing on meds

Then you are back to finding someone with the knowledge and gonads to actually give a damn. Can you meet her someplace safe?

Without the proper training and a medical degree I don't think you can. Does she want to be helped? If so ask if you can go with her to her medical appointments. If she is overdosing on meds she already has a prescription for she will run out before she is supposed to. If the pharmacy is giving her medication for 30 days but she needs more in 10, that should be a big red flag to the pharmacist. Support her by telling her how strongly you care. Other than that, not much you can do.

Were those 4 perfect angels even yours, Doc? ;)

Oh my....! I hope he takes this in the humorous way it was intended.

If not, my follow up question DocteurRalph is how many days, hours, minutes does this pour soul have to live?

I'm sorry you feel shreaded. That is not my intention. But you did come here asking for help but then refuse to do anything for this person. I suppose you want that responsibility to fall on somebody else's shoulders or even the mom's shoulders herself. So I got to ask, what kind of help did you expect to get that you obviously did not?

Social services is not the only game in town. If this were my friend I would contact every person willing to listen. Police, fire department/paramedic, doctor, mayor, governor, congressperson, president, Pope, Oprah and maybe Dr. Phil McGraw. Anyone willing to lend an ear. After she dies, you will find 15 resources that could have helped her if only they had been told.
