Avatar m tn Can someone give me either the symptoms or the timeline for an Ibuprofen overdose? And what's going to happen if I don't get treatment? I've taken approx. 40 200mg ibuprofen tablets, 32 hours ago.
Avatar f tn I am not suicidal. I am being prescribed Lithium daily. I like to know as much as I can about my meds. I know the lethal dose of lithium is about 5gs or 5000mgs which is about 5 times what I am prescribed. I also have looked up the symptoms of lithium toxicity (not fun). But I can't seem to fine anywhere how long after a lethal amount or a small overdose (such as 1 accidental extra dose) on top of toxicity symptoms would start to show or when death would take place.

Avatar f tn Unfortunately, today I find out that his best friend passed away of a heroin overdose, and my boyfriend has no idea. I cannot contact him directly, but I had his mother try to contact his counselor to see what he thought was best for my boyfriends recovery. Does any addict in recovery have any input on a situation like this?
Avatar n tn While I may not be familiar at all with the drug cetzine, I can tell you and advise you that taking any more medicine than what is prescribed or listed on the packaging can cause tolerance and death.

Avatar f tn Sadly he had recently been doing a detox himself and decided to catch a buzz again ... the shot was too much and he died as a result of an accidental overdose..................
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry about this bama; it has to be horrible for you. I wonder how the ME can tell the difference between an accidental overdose and suicide. Could it be the amount and combination of drugs? Regardless, she's gone and it's very sad for the folks she left behind. I'm thinking of you and all the sadness around here lately...
558156 tn?1217727396 I take 3 percs every 4 hours...does anyone know the dangers of an overdose? The drugs have made me super paranoid...

How hard was it? What where the wds like???ect.ect any info on this would be appreciated...Thank You. Jeffi.
2021910 tn?1339896686 I'm on Ambien every night, otherwise, I would only get 2 hours of sleep a night. The benefits outweigh the risks. My doctor said there is a chance of depending on it to put you to sleep, but when my newborn comes, I'll wean off of it from having to be up with him all night. I even took Ambien with my first son, and he was born picture perfect. Get some rest!
Avatar f tn It's 3 weeks since I've been having a pretty serious depression, including anxiety & sleeplessness. I was put on a new antidepressant LexiPro (15 days now), xanax as needed, which I only need to "take the edge off" when Im shaky, and Lunesta to sleep. This is the 2nd time I've used Lunesta.
Avatar m tn The highest available dose of Lunesta is 3mg. Recently, thought is that Lunesta, Ambien, and others in this class are very similar to benzodiazepine drugs. But I haven't read much about addiction or withdrawl from these meds. Seems like insomnia would be a given, but you could try melatonin or valerian root to combat that. Good luck either way.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know if thats good i tried it once and really liked it it doesnt seem to be addicting
Avatar f tn As of last week (maybe two weeks ago), I had reduced my Klonopin intake from 3 MG/day to 1.5 MG/day.
Avatar f tn When I kept forgetting to take the second dose, he suggested the 30mg X-RAY And it seemed to work extremely well, I was not sleeping at all, had lots of stress and went through a number of different antidepressants, they all pretty much made feel hung over and generally like crap all day. He suggested Lunesta and it seemed to work enough to get atleast 6hrs of sleep and felt well rested the next day.
Avatar n tn well today i think i did a lil more that a gram mabe 1.5 or 1.
Avatar f tn Is it posssible to overdose on Xanax ? My mother-in-law was found dead , and it is persumed that she overdosed on Xanax for which she was taken off some time ago, and had a surplus of Xanax.
Avatar m tn there are things they can do to help you early in APAP overdose but not later, the longer you wait the worse it is, google acetaminophen overdose, wikipedia, lots of info, its a horrible death, you start feeling better & think your ok then you get much worse.
Avatar m tn Personally, I can't answer that question. It sounds like a medical/legal inquiry. I can tell you that it's a small amount of methadone given 3 hours before the morphine but you don't say how much morphine or rubinol. It almost sounds like an allergic reaction. What do the doctors say? Regardless, it's a tragic loss and you have my sympathy and best wishes. I hope you have plenty of support.
1200615 tn?1265341880 Too much nutmeg can cause serious health problems and even death. Early symptoms of an overdose of nutmeg (one to three nuts) are thirst, nausea, and feelings of urgency. There may also be experiences of altered consciousness; this can range from mild to intensive hallucinations, and results in a stupor that lasts from two to three days. Sometimes shock and seizures occur. Immediate medical attention is necessary when someone has taken too much nutmeg.

Avatar m tn jaundice, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Death due to overdose of Paracetamol is rare but when it occurs it is in majority of cases due to liver failure. Treatment of a serious paracetamol overdose is done by administration of an antidote, which can defeat and combat the toxic effects of the overdose. Seek immediate medical care to make sure you haven't taken an overdose. Seek help for your depression or other mental issues. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I too am sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my partner recently from Sudden Death Syndrome during the day in the house and I too have unanswered questions, as well as feelings of guilt as we were unsuccessful in resuscitation. After 2 autopsies no cause of death was found hence SDS. I have used Fentanyl both oral and the patch for 3.5 years for cancer pain and am currently at the last stage of coming of it. My choice.
Avatar n tn Can a baby overdose off of hydrocodone, oxycodone , or Roxycodone through breast milk if the mother takes the right dosage, or slightly more, only once a day and not everyday. If he breastfeeds while its in the mothers system, is sleepiness a sign of overdosing? If so, can l the overdose possibly death happen after the mother is no longer on medication?
