Woman tries to overdose on depression medication


UAPD officers were dispatched to the La Aldea apartment complex at 825 E. Fifth St. on Oct. 11 at 1:56 p.m. in reference to a resident who had attempted to overdose on prescription medication. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the resident. According to police, she was semi-alert and slurring her speech. She informed police that she had taken fifteen 20mg Celexa pills approximately two hours before calling police. She admitted that she did not want to die and had taken the pills because she was upset that her therapist had terminated her sessions, believing she was unable to further assist the woman. Tucson Fire Department emergency medical personnel arrived on scene and transported the woman to University Medical Center for treatment. While at UMC, mental health professionals signed an emergency petition to commit the woman until additional mental health evaluations could be performed
