612876 tn?1355514495 My point is that while any opioid has the potential to be fatal in doses higher than the recommended daily maximum, the risk of fatal propoxyphene overdose is low compared to what is probably the most common over-the-counter painkiller, acetominophen. Keep the risks in proportion.
Avatar n tn Cocaine Vraagbaak, Federatie van Instellingen voor Alcohol en Drugs, 1986). A user sniffs 0.1-0.2 grams of cocaine, i.e., 2-4 lines a night." ------------ "The average lethal dose of intravenous use of cocaine is about 500 milligrams. That doesn't mean, however that a smaller dose is safe. An estimated lethal dose when sniffing cocaine is unknown. These doses are estimates." ----------- To clarify for you, the term 'fatal' means it causes death 100% on average.
Avatar n tn also, with coke in general, fatal reactions have nothing to do with tolerance -- using coke can kill you anytime, just with the next line. there's no predicting it. any next use can cause a fatal arythmia. but he should absolutely be seen if he took that much. it's like the mules that have condoms-ful explode in their gut -- dead, dead, dead.
Avatar m tn Not knowing if you accidentally took too many tablets or if you had a near fatal reaction to the combination of these meds.......I strongly believe only your doctor can answer your questions for you.
Avatar n tn An overdose of diltiazem can be fatal, so if you are not sure if you missed a dose, to be safe, don't take any that day. I used to get a marker and put M T W T F S S above each pill in line (they were in the foil strips). That way I could see if I had taken that days medication.

Avatar f tn I am about to switch from olanzapine to seroquel. Is it ok to just stop taking olanzapine and start taking seroquel? I am on a very low dose of olanzapine.
Avatar f tn I was put on olanzapine an anti phycotic on top of my fluvoxamine meleate 200mg for deap depression after and home invasion. While the olanzaoine was helpful with my depression i think it was also causing leg pain. the longer I took it for the worse the pain got and more pain meds I needed to take to get threw my day to just walk. Once I was strong enough to come off olanzapine I weaned my self off and the leg pain started to get better over time.
Avatar m tn Fluoxetine 60 mg, Olanzapine 2.5 mg, clonazepam 0.5 mg, Mirtazapine 15 mg. Few months ago a weired thought came into my mind- If their are so many stimuli present at a time how does one's mind pay attention to a selective stimulus. Then onwards i would become conscious of many distracting stimuli while i would listen to something or read something. I started feeling like a handicapped which cant listen or read. This very thought suffused my mind; day and night i would think about it.
Avatar m tn Domino YES EXTREME WAKE-UP CALL! I wouldn't be scared to death if it weren't for the alcohol- I wouldn't have taken so much Tylenol. I will be so thankful if everything comes out right, and even if I am overreacting - after learning how dangerous Tylenol can be and that it is the leading OD case, I literally saw my life flash before my eyes. One possibility my brother mentioned was that I vomited because of the Vodka, so I didn't have time to process the Tylenol.
603015 tn?1329862973 Was this just because I didnt take my meds or just a coincidence, I am on epilim, olanzapine and something else I cant remember the name of but it can cause a fatal rash as a side effect if given too higher dose too quickly, I have only just started on this a few weeks ago.
Avatar f tn While I have not taken it, I know that a good deal of the antipsychotics out there, including olanzapine, can cause sedation. Antipsychotics can also be activating where they will cause insomnia if you take them before falling asleep. I'm sure there are people here who have taken it and experienced sedation.

Avatar f tn Acetaminophen intoxication does lead to liver damage and can be fatal but the liver is a resilient organ and can repair damage to itself if given time.
Avatar f tn Because users tend sniff inhalants repeatedly in a session, they risk a serious and possibly fatal overdose. Overdose can result in extreme confusion, blackout, coma and convulsions. An overdose can also cause an erratic and accelerated heart beat, which can lead to heart failure and death. Some people seem susceptible to these cardiac effects after low doses of inhalants, and there have been a number of tragic first time user deaths.
Avatar n tn Both Olanzapine and Resperidone are atypical antipsychotics. So, basically, you will be taking the same class of antipsychotics. Resperidone is however a very potent antipsychotic. The response to treatment has been found to be more stable with Resperidone, so that’s a plus point with this drug. Both drugs cause similar side effects, but Olanzapine shows fewer motor function side effects than Resperidone in comaparative clinical trials.
Avatar f tn You should be on antithyroid eds as well as the beta blockers ASAP.
Avatar f tn They took me to psychiatrist that put me on olanzapine 10mg and kept me in the hospital for 10 days. Traumatic experience. Than after 2-3 months the doctor put me on 7mg, and now I'm on 5 mg olanzapine. It was harder to cope with rest of the world the first few mounts. I didn''t want to do the things I wanted, It was hard to cope with my previous social life, I felt like I have nothing to talk to my friends, like my brain is empty, like I'm brain washed.
