Avatar m tn Most of the individuals described in these reports had a history of poly-substance abuse or used Gabapentin to relieve symptoms of withdrawal from other substances. When prescribing Gabapentin carefully evaluate patients for a history of drug abuse and observe them for signs and symptoms of Gabapentin misuse or abuse (e.g. development of tolerance, self-dose escalation, and drug-seeking behavior).
Avatar f tn My sister in law has nerve pain and she takes a combination of drugs such as a small amount of Lyrica , a small amount of an antidepressant, a small amount of lamictal and so forth. Be open to whatever the right combination is for you. I find amitriptilyne helps my back pain even though it is an antidepressant and I'm actually using it for migraine treatment. Also, some drugs have to be at a higher dose to work while others can work in small doses and work together well with others..
Avatar f tn I am om hydromorphone, gabapentin,500 mg tylono snce last April. I have become jittery. Now they want to add effexor. I am getting frightened by all this.
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 n tn Prometa which is just a trademark for a protocol using 3 drugs that have been around forever flumanzenil-originally used for overdose of benzodiazapines gabapentin-originally designed for seizure and hydroxazine-an antihistamine one of the first synthesized these three used together by an MD who prescribes for its use will be using the Prometa protocol not FDA approved as of yet.
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 f tn i am having a very difficult time not overmedicating myself (i did this a couple of months ago and ended up collapsing and in the hospital for accidental overdose). I feel so helpless right now like i am a slave to this pain and to all these darn meds I'm taking. I take Percocet several times a day as well as Zanaflex. Been on this for about 6 months pretty much around the clock. I can't take it anymore!
634733 tn?1316625992 I have heard that Lyrica actually worse that Gabapentin for the weight gain. I have gained a bit on the gabapentin too, but my mother was on Lyric and gained 30 lbs. in a VERY short time. you might want to reconsider it. I donèt know if it is a body type and condition that causes the weight gain, but I have heard it alot from people on Lyrica. Just check it out Pat, and see what your Dr.
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 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 f tn I am currently prescribed 90mg a day of MS Contin. It dulls the pain for a couple hours (still a 4-5 on a 1-10 scale). I sam supposed to take 45mg every 12 hours. At first, about a year ago this worked, no it wears off fairly quickly and even when "working" I still feel a significant amount of pain. I assume I have become tolerant of the medication. I do not want to increase the dose if at all possible. My sister died of a prescribed Morephine overdose.
6937315 tn?1386287618 Has anyone ever been put on gabapentin for severe anxiety/panic disorder? My doctor just prescribed it for me to help ween me off xanax that I've been on for 7 years. Was wondering if this has ever helped anyone?
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.
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 n tn Addereall is a very real drug it can be very dangerous to even take your recommended dosage your doc gives u let alone the amount u took. 3 months is my life with adderall ( 3 panic 4thone was a severe panic {aexcioty <can't spell} ,-hyperventilation absolutely no reason hand crampon almost fainting )kinda thing and all I did was instead of take my normal dose 1@7 1@3.
Avatar m tn I am not really familular with the dosage of the buprenorphine and gabapentin. However 120mg of oxycodone is a huge amount are you planning on taking that doge all at one time? I take 60mgs aday 15mg every 4-6 hrs. Plus I am on fentenyl patches 100mcg every 72 hrs. The best Idea is to speek with you dr to see if the change can be made watch how you word the questions drs dont like to be told what to do they would rather think its they are the one to come up with the idea. Good luck.
