I have attempted overdose 4 times since December, tonight I took 10mg of Clonazepam and 300 mg of Effexor is this enough to overdose

This is the most medication I have ever been on in the 17 years of diagnosis of BP with psychotic episodes and Major Clinical Depression. I feel like Im overdosed .There has to be better drugs at half the dose to be effective but my Dr says Im on the best for my diagnosis. I have a 2 year old and can hardly function to keep up with him.

I took a large lithium and valium (not my own medication) overdose about 30 years ago, I suffer from various mental and physical conditions and wondered if any of them could be attributed to that? Any insight greatly appreciated.

Well, it is am opiate which is a systemic vasodilator, opening up blood vessels and increasing oxygenation. A high dose can cause respiratory depression, which can reduce oxygen to the heart and increase the chances for fibrillation (hypoxia being the cause). Thus the answer is probably not in any dose normally prescribed by a physician. In the case of abuse and an overdose, possible.

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.

Mixing alcohol with any medication is questionable, depending on the medication in question. Alcohol and psychiatric medication should never be mixed, Besides alcohol being a depressant and directly affecting your mood, mixing them together can depending on the medication be down right dangerous. On how it specifically effects Prozac and adderall ?

I'm just guessing here, but isn't it in general a bad idea to give a person *instructions* on how to overdose on a particular medication? Bixby didn't say, "My doctor has me taking x mg of this medication. Could that be too close to toxicity levels?" Bixby asked how many mg of that medication, alone or in combination with another drug, would cause an OD. Am I alone on this? Doesn't this set off alarms for anyone else?!

I've been very depressed and anxious as well. I feel bad, I'm always so on edge. My poor 2 yr old son probably thinks I've gone evil. I'm not sure how to help it, I've had bipolar disorder, an anxiety disorder, and major depression for 8 years and all I can do is cope. Other than medication I'm not sure how to actually feel better, I'm sorry.

One more thing..... I'm sure you may have tried many meds to gain control of your depression. I'm sorry most of them did not help. I too am medication resistant and I know how hard it can be when meds are not working. BUT, I do know that you have not tried everything yet. There are meds that work, even for med resistant people like you and I. There are so many different meds that there is no way you have tried everything. I'm talking 100 plus meds for depression.

I did used to have hallucinations as a child but they went away. It is only since the overdose that I have been experiencing them again. I do see a psychiatrist for depression but I don't feel I can tell her about what's been going on as she'll find out I overdosed. I am currently not on any medication or anything, and I thought the overdose would've been out of my system by now so I'm quite unsure as to why I am still experiencing hallucinations.

Hey all, I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment. I did something silly a couple of weeks ago - I overdosed on Zoloft. A couple of days later I started to experience vivid hallucinations and was quite worried.

What are your current thyroid hormone levels? Be sure to post reference ranges with results, since ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report. You should be getting tested periodically for TSH, Free T3 and Free T4. Do you have other symptoms of over medication, such as weight loss, diarrhea, tremors, etc. Do you have Hashimoto's?

I was hospitalised for three weeks and a half at the age of seventeen, seen numerous councellors and phsychologist, been put on countless amounts of medication for anxiety, depression and sleep, self medicated with marijuanna for a year at the age of 17-18 and had an eating disorder (anorexia) before I started smoking marijuanna. I also attempted to overdose and failed this summer. That was the first time I actually attempted.

Yes. Xanax , in combination with opiates/opioids contributes to huge numbers resulting overdose deaths. Both types of medications can cause respiratory suppression, and using them both together compounds the effects. Most PM doctors want any and all scheduled medications prescribed by one office, making it easier to track usage, fills, and compliance.

A tramadol overdose can be fatal. Overdose symptoms of a tramadol overdose may include drowsiness, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma. Tramadol may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Tramadol should never be given to another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

Two weeks ago I took overdose just with medication laying around. Felt lonely and I could not speak to no one and my head was ready to burst just wanted everything to go away. Kept asking myself why. I'm new on this site and can see I'm not on my own. Just cannot see why and sometimes a way out.

Definitely discuss this with your doctor, and tell him/her exactly what you took. Sometimes, the doctor can also give you a prescription for pain medication for your tooth while you wait to see the dentist. You need to be careful with combining medications as some contain other drugs (for example, Nyquil usually contains acetaminophen (tylenol). You can overdose without realizing it by taking tylenol and Nyquil together. Good luck and hopefully you can get your tooth taken care of sooner.

What should I do from now until then? You should only be treated by a gastroenterologist or hepatologist who has a lot of experience curing patients with hepatitis C. The best chance of beating the virus is always the first time. If you have a doctor who doesn't know how to properly manage hepatitis C treatment then you could be setting yourself up for failure. So it is always important to have a highly experienced and educated doctor.

If you were going to overdose it would have happened by now. Still, it was not a good thing to do and if you continue to have symptoms it would be in your best interest to get to the er.
