foolish boyfriend experimented with an expired depression pill, alcohol, and marijauna- possible side effects?


Question:
My boyfriend will experiment with anything! He isn't depressed or suicidal, but he decided to pop an expired depression pill, drank, and smoked marijauna- I know, not too smart!! Anyway, he felt extremely nausious all night. What are possible side effects of this? He still feels sick. Could he have died?


And please, I know a bunch of you are going to call him a bum, but he's very intelligent (working, getting his masters, etc)- he just does foolish things sometimes, so no telling me to "drop the idiot", okay?

Answers:
If he had an allergic reaction to the pill, he could have died. One antidepressant pill is not likely to cause any effects. Most antidepressants take time to build up in the system before their effect is noticed. Side effects of any medication are GI upset, and if he had that side effect then alcohol would only compound it. If the pill was expired, it most likely wasn't as potent as one that wasn't expired would have been. Anytime u mix things u shouldn't, there is the possibility of death. Tell him he's an idiot.
Drop the idiot.
