Building a Panic Attack Help Page

[Richi]

I'm planning to build a helpful resource page on quick and important information on what to do in the event of a panic attack.

It can also include a more in depth explanation of what exactly is a panic attack, physiological responses, what causes a panic attack, and what can be done to prevent one.

I'd like this to be relevant to all drug OD's in a comprehensive step-by-step way. I imagine this is a resource someone could use in the event of any panic attack that another person may have. For example, panic attacks are common to marijuana, and some hallucinogens of the dissociative, psychedelic, and deliritant classes. Many of these are not life-threatening, but some may be. Panic attacks resulting from stimulant use such as cocaine are much more dangerous.

Thus this resource page would first distinguish a life threatening OD from a non-life threatening OD, and direct the user further as to what to do to help the individual.

What is required:

I have come across many sources for help in the event of a panic attack related to marijuana, several for S. divinorum, and one for magic mushrooms. (I'll try to dig them up) However, more would be helpful, along with some for other drugs.

I particularly need one for ketamine.

I also need someone with a certification in first aid to write what should be done in the event of breathing problems, heart problems, etc. This relates specifically to cocaine - i.e., a stinging pain starting in the hand and moving up the arm towards the chest.

Any other help or opinion would be very appreciated. If someone wants to help tackle this task, please post what you can do.
