Stop thinking your stupidity is more important then a persons life and go call 911.

Nothing at all. Call 911 immediately and tell the dispatcher to get an ambulance there immediately.
Try to find out what meds the person has OD'ed on, and be completely honest. If they are illegal drugs, do not withhold that from the Ambulance crew or the 911 person. That could make the difference of life and death once at the hospital.
What meds/drugs the person OD"ed on is important for the doctors to know, in order to save this person's life.
If you have knowledge of a person dying of an OD and you do nothing, you also could be implicated in some sort of charge for neglect of duty.
I am no lawyer, but that is the least of your concerns right now.
Call 911.

You can't. Unless you're a medical professional, you don't have enough expertise in any aspect of the problem to help them. Call the poison control center, 911 or take them to the ER stat.

Have them throw up the pills by sticking your fingers down their throat. If it has been just a few minutes since they took them. Anything longer and you are risking them to absorb the medicines and spreading to the body quickly. You can also just drive them to the hospital and not call 911.

Go check on them, or have a friend of relative do it. Or call a suicide hotline and ask them for advice. Don't be stupid, though- call 911. Any reasons you have not to aren't worth this persons life.

nothing! depending on what they took the hospital can pump their stomachs and get some of the meds out. You need to take them to the hospital or call 911. They will die if you don't. they might die if you do too. This is serious and there is nothing you can do.

Why would you not want to call 911 if there is a danger of their lives been at stake? Get them to stick their fingers down their throat or you do it to make them sick
