Concussions and intoxication
Alright, I got robbed and knocked out. I didn't think about it and now I have aggravated a concussion.
I spaced or something and I realized I was on the other side of town stoned off my ass with a concussion while I was supposed to be resting. I'm really not sure how it happened. I've been trying to read up on what I can take for this god awful headache, but it's difficult to remember.
I'm pretty sure the weed won't kill me but I can't really find anything on it. I'm afraid to do anything else, but I'm not even sure if this is a good idea. Does anyone know about his or have any experience? It would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is choppy or incoherent, I'm doing my best right now to convey things in a direct manner.

Re: Concussions and intoxication
An old friend and his new Christian ex-felon friend.... fuckers borrowed money and told me they had it. I came to pick it up and they got me at knife point. Someone got behind me and knocked my ass out. I woke up in the woods and didn't think another thing about it until I blacked out while working.

That's only for a period of time after it happens. You have to rest and take care of yourself so your brain can deal with the damage.

Re: Concussions and intoxication
This has nothing to do with drugs, but a friend of mine is a macho-tough-guy gook and kept himself in a football game after getting a serious concussion, got at least another, and he hasn't been the same ever since. You really might want to consider going to an actual professional for this one, concussions are NO joke and it sounds like you got cracked pretty good.

GET YOUR ASS TO THE FUCKING EMERGENCY ROOM NOW. Targeted induction of cereberal hemmorage - "concussion," to the rest of yous - is actually one of the more reliable ways to induce fatality. Not "loss of a few IQ points for a year," death.
Your friends are mostly NOT competent to drill a hole in your head to relieve pressure while keeping the environment sterile. You need a competent medical setting.
As for the actual question, there's two major concerns. The biggest by far is that things which increase bleeding are readily lethal. Alcohol = bad. Asprin = bad. Just about everything else = awwight... but check to see if the specific substance you're taking is a blood thinner or anticlotting agent, because "just about everything else" isn't quite "everything else."
The second concern is the fact that taking something which can make you fall into an unresponsive sleep while suffering from a condition which makes you prone to falling into an unresponsive sleep and dying... makes falling into an unresponsive sleep and dying a lot less manageable. Among other things, once it's been determined by qualified medical personell that the crisis is nonimmediate, you're still supposed to have someone wake you up every thirty minutes or so to check that you can be woken up (and watch to make sure you're still breathing inbetween), with the ambulance on speed-dial.
Naturally, ODing on benzo-and-heroin cocktails might complicate that a bit.
Nonetheless, you should have gone to the ER immediately, but the fact that you're falling over unconscious and having random memory loss suggests that you're still bleeding; the pressure is changing enough to completely interrupt the function of several specific organs in your brain. You need medical attention, now.
Your "friends" deserve the murder charge. You, on the other hand, deserve to not be the person to give it to them. Get to the hospital before you fucking die.
