How does it feel like, basically? And maybe other things I should know. How long were you in the hospital for?

Edit:
Another thing is that I have had a mild med overdose for which I was taken to the hospital and I want to know whether the experience was similar. It could very well be different since it was on a typical antipsychotic, but I am unsure whether it may have been somewhat bordering on serotonin syndrome.
