Metaxalone lethal dose

Common Questions and Answers about Metaxalone lethal dose

skelaxin

Avatar f tn However, Italian researchers have found that the LD50 (the lethal dose at which half of the animals die) of glucosamine sulfate is 8000 mg/kg. In humans this would be equivalent to ingesting over 500,000 mg at one time or 1,000 pills each containing 500 mg. I hope this is useful... I got the idea from the site that max safe dose is 1500mg, and your dog had twice that much. You may want to see the vet anyway, even tho it says in the previous paragraph that a lethal dose is 8000mg.
Avatar f tn 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. So my question is when would symptoms begin to show and when would death occur.
Avatar f tn What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.
Avatar m tn can i take 4mg xanax at asingle dose ? my dr didnt prescribe the 4mg at once but i had severe insomnia so i took them in a single dose is this dangerous?
Avatar m tn I tKe it as prescribed I have never gone over the maximum dose, I am just concerned about possible withdrawal or anything like that from skelaxin. I have read up on it a lot and it seems pretty harmless and safe, especially compared to other back pain medications. I have refused somas and other narcotics because I don't want to go down that road. Just concerned if say I work 5 days in a row and I take the skelaxin every day. Than I'm off for two days.
Avatar n tn I found this, whic seems to be relevant: "Be very careful, the official "lethal dose" for methadone is 25mg for a non-tolerant adult. This means as little as 25mg of methadone has been known to kill adults with no tolerance to opiates. This is a surprisingly low lethal dosage for many people, but I assure you it is true. Methadone has a very long half-life, unlike heroin, which is a short-acting opiate.
951587 tn?1249227148 that is an extremely high dose...you should know that barbiturate tolerance is very different than tolerance to other things. you need more and more but the lethal dose remains the same...so if 1gm is the lethal dosage, it won't change just because you've built a tolerance to the effects of it. i would find a taper plan immediately. you are very close to that lethal dose mark. barbiturates are so rare that most people don't understand the addiction.
Avatar m tn The max dose of acetaminophen is 4 Gm/day (4000 mg). The lethal dost is considered to be 6-10 Gm. Even the 4 Gm per day dose can cause liver damage over an extended period of time.
649758 tn?1229841488 It is a steriodal pain reliever, normally given as a last resort to elderly people for pain. Just DO NOT suddenly stop, that very well is lethal. It is a very dangerous drug and you must be taken off gradually, (so u dont die) and then swith to a non-steroidal anti inflamatory, or NSAID like Aleve, Ibuprofen or Tylenol. Id reccomend getting a seccond opinion about the benneficial vs lethal effects of your prednisone. It is normally only prescibed for a week max.
Avatar n tn With methadone ,as well as other drugs,one persons dose could cause another persons death.Perhaps some more information would help.Why was your son in detox,what was he addicted to? Was he on methadone prior to going and if he was how long was he on it? What do you mean by the doctor misread the labs and started him out on triple the amount?How high was his dose? Was he on any other med prior to and during his stay in detox?
633768 tn?1232834261 an effect of wd,youll probably have the shakes bad, sometimes minor to Violent convulsions, people on relaly longer term use with extremely high dose can have lethal seizures, general bad feeling/mood, muscle pain,aches, and spasms, and theyre are alot more but it depends on the severity of use you had, let me know how much and how long?..you could also be tapering your dose a little too fast, the best bet is to take it slow and at your own pace..
Avatar f tn What your describing is not methadone withdrawals and that is a HUGE amount of clonapine dont know if thats enough to make him act the way he is or he might very well be mixing it with something else.....the clonipine at that dose is lethal and if he got pulled over by the cops he would not be able to pass a sobriety test.....
Avatar f tn I think the Xanax would just put you to sleep, that's a fairly high dose.
Avatar m tn Aspirin seems to have many beneficial attributes, but can cause stomach problems. I take a low dose aspirin a day myself, 81 mg.
Avatar n tn Impression: 1. Anomalous origin or the right coronary artery, coursing between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary outflow tract, the "lethal Variant" with between 50 and 75% narrowing of its proximal segment.... Doesn't that mean possibly only 25% is coursing through....?
Avatar m tn X-ray revealed nothing, and I have been through chiropractic and physical therapy with marginal relief at best ( ~ 24 hours.) medications used include metaxalone, valium and ibuprofen. stiffness has remained constant, w/ a reduced ROM when flexing my neck laterally. I also occasionally experience shooting pain up the left side of my neck when i rotate my head in that direction. Neck remains inflamed and "cracks" often.
Avatar f tn It doesn't produce "immediate lethal effects". It will be slow and you will fall asleep. There's another word for what you did. It's called an overdose. If you really took that much Ibuprofen and Benadryl, and I assume you did, you need to call an ambulance.
Avatar n tn You need to see your doctor right away to have those meds reviewed,I have never heard of anyone taking that many Kpins at once--that is an extremely high dose--please see your doctor asap.
Avatar m tn i agree. that amount of oxy is dangerous. alot of us have gotten through disk damage through other means. found other ways of pain management. please feel free to PM me if you want some input. i did it all. i knwo the insomnia is hard. and i don't think anyone here can tell you if it's a lethal dose - that mix. it is for some, not for others.
Avatar f tn I have also tried Soma and it didn't do much for my myofacial pain and muscle spasms. I can't see how people would want to abuse them. I have been on Flexeril for 7 years. I take one 10 mg tablet 3 times a day. Back in the day before my pain worsened due to DDD progression, all I took for pain was Flexeril.
Avatar f tn 25 mgs its safe to go cold turkey and if its too bad for you then switch over to 5-10mgsw of valium a longer lasting benzo that would be equivalent to your dose on xanax(.5ngs)....even if you did go CT from the dose your at now it wouldnt be lethal, it would be discomfort for about 5-7 days, and then its over. i would do this medically supervised with your therapist or doc....stay strong and defl get off xanax its one of those terrible drug out there on the market..
Avatar f tn Did you get one dose, or two doses of the MMR? I'd call your doctor as bnl suggested. Rubeola isn't as risky for the baby as the other measles covered in the MMR, which is Rubella, but you need to ask your doc what to do about possible exposure.
Avatar m tn the drug you are refering to is the same as darvocet here in the United States.........the amount needed to be theraputic and the amount that is lethal are very close indeed. Western countries are starting to lay off prescribing it...I think in England they don't write new scripts for it...but will refill old ones for people who have been taking it for a while. It's really fallen out of favor here in the states also.....
1310633 tn?1430224091 (CNN) -- A shortage of lethal injection chemicals has contributed to declining use of capital punishment in the United States with a new report on Thursday noting only 39 executions this year. It is only the second time in the past two decades the annual number of inmates put to death has dropped below 40. The total represents a 10 percent reduction from last year. No further executions are scheduled in 2013. "Twenty years ago, use of the death penalty was increasing.
Avatar f tn I am still taking a low dose of xanax ( .25 mgs 2x per day ) until I see my doctor next week....then I would like to come off those too. I'm hoping .50 a day is not a high dose to come off of. So here's my question for today. I forgot I took my xanax late today because I usually take it first thing in the morning but it's the weekend and I slept in. Well then I went for lunch with a friend and I had an alcoholic slushy...
