Tbd Metformin has literally taken my appetite for meat!!! How do I get the protein I need?
Avatar f tn when we are off these drugs for a week or longer, and our bodies have already detoxed and begun functioning without it, the possiblity of having an overdose is very high. An overdose from vicodin feels like your throat is closing, your heart beats really fast and it is hard to breath. It is the worst feeling in the world. My experience was light compared to what i heard could have happened from opiate overdose. People end up in comas and can die.
Avatar m tn Due to his illness I want to make sure that when I count his pills that he will not take to much. I would like to know if anyone knows what the fatal amount of 10mg Oxycontin would be fatal. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn All I can tell you is a gram and a half could very easily be an overdose amount. If you had taken that amount any other way besides snorting - you wouldn't be able to get on the computer right now... If you have any respiratory or heart problems though - get medical help and be on the safe side. If you aren't going to get medical help, the best thing you can do is get as comfortable as possible and try to relax yourself.
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 The insult leads to permanent injury or severe complications when the dosage of Acetaminophen exceeds 7,000mg in a single dose or greater than 4,000mg/24 hours over an extended period of time (6,000mg spread over 24 hours is enough to cause harm in some patients but usually it takes this amount of Acetaminophen daily for days-weeks to cause harm in most patients).
Avatar f tn Recently my dose of metformin was increased to 2-500s night and morning. I developed h pylori and direarra. They treated the h pilori, howeverstill have direarra. I have noticed the metformin pills passing through completely whole. I have taken them apart, they still have powder in them. Also since the h pylori and increased metformin my blood sugar testing has gone to as high as 459. Went to dr and he put me on insulin. This has gradually brought blood sugars down to 114 and 250.
Avatar m tn Hello, We are very sorry to hear about your friend but are glad you were there for them. We want to confirm that you have called an ambulance and they have received medical care. Tylenol is toxic to the liver as you know but hopefully he will be alright. He's indeed taken a dangerous amount. Please let us know how he is doing. We wish you and your friend the best.
Avatar n tn 7,000 is considered overdose. The symptoms of overdose may not appear for over 12 hours. It is crucial that you see a doctor or get to the ER. Have you been using for long?
Avatar m tn Since you have not indicated an amount of overdose there is no way to answer. Please call your doctor, poison hotline, etc. as soon as possible with the amount of med taken.
1187113 tn?1320691496 I have been on metformin for 2 months now & this last month have been taking 1500mg per MD...I am usually nauseous throughout the day there after...it gets to the point where i'm vomitting at nite or when I wake up in the mornings (usually 2 a.m.)...I don't have any other problems besides terrible smelling gas & constantly belching & occassional diarrhea...has anyone else had problems taking metformin?
Avatar n tn It’s possible that Metformin isn’t the right medication for you. There quite a few other medications you can try. I’ve read about Berberine, but wouldn’t use it unless the doctor okays it. From what I’ve read, Berberine is supposed to work the same/similar way as Metformin, so if Metformin isn’t working, it’s likely Berberine wouldn’t work either. You should talk to your doctor and ask for a different medication that might work better.
Avatar f tn i do cocaine for more then 2 years and never happend something very bad,just it happend not to feel great,minor problem with my breathing,hot,agitate,but 3 days ago i pass out i dont remenber nothing for 40 min.i just remember when i do the last line.it was a overdose?
Avatar f tn 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. So my question is when would symptoms begin to show and when would death occur. I don't need exact times but if toxicity showed hours after an over dose and death came days after it would give me a timeline which is all I'm looking for. Thank you.

Avatar f tn Hello, my doctor found that I have "impaired glucose tolerance". My glucose numbers in tests where above >140 after two hours. He prescribed metformin 500mg (which I have been taking for a year). This week my sugar has been around 72 two hours after eating. And I haven´t felt well. The weird thing is that my glucose numbers are very low, and I still urinate very frequently...why is this???? Why are my glucose numbers so low after eating?.
