Common Questions and Answers about Zopiclone overdose dosage

Everything they did at the hospital was to save your life and is the typical process with an overdose. The typical dosage for adults is 5 to 7.5 milligrams (mg) at bedtime. You took 5-7 times that much...so yes that is too much and can seriously hurt you. It's over, just learn from it and stick to the prescribed amount. Take care.
I have depression and post traumatic Stress disorder and am currently on Mirtrazipine, Venoflaxine, Quitiepine and Zopiclone I have been treated for this since my mid twenties, last year I had three small focal seizures which no pathology found. I am now about to start on Sodium Valproate increasing dosage initially to 250mg in morning and 500mg at night this is being prescribed primarily as a mood stabiliser but is thought to help stop the seizures.
August 2013. I know zopiclone is a non benzo "z class" drug. Question: in the category for benzo's in the UDS IS ZOPICLONE INCLUDED IN THIS CLASS.?
However, this is disputed by one study of low dose zopiclone taken for only 7 nights. It found that discontinuation of zopiclone caused significant rebound insomnia. Furthermore when midazolam taken for 7 nights was discontinued no rebound insomnia occurred suggesting that zopiclone may have even more significant problems of tolerance and dependence than the benzodiazepines. After 3 weeks of use mild to moderate rebound withdrawal symptoms appear upon discontinuation of zopiclone.
Basically I mix trazodone and zopiclone because I was instructed to by the GP. When I needed to take more Zopiclone I first made sure there were no reported contraindications between it and trazodone anyway, and held back to two thirds the dosse of trazodone to part compensate for the increase in the other. I feel if anything, reporting that should hopefully clarify to anybody reading this that a mix of those two drugs is not of medical concern, as it was suggested by my GP.
Zopiclone is used to treat sleeping problems (insomnia).
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth before bedtime as directed. This medication is usually taken for short periods of up to 4 weeks. Do not increase the dose or take this for longer than prescribed. Tolerance may develop with long-term or excessive use making it less effective.
The dosage amount is based on your body composition, height, weight, etc., so 1800mg (while it is an exceedingly high dosage) could possibly be a normal dosage size for someone large in stature.
I was under the idea that it was common knowledge that overdosing on any drug can be fatal, but I guess you didn't know.
Have you had a follow up blood test to monitor your dosage change to 50mcg? It certainly sounds like hyper symptoms to me, but you should be monitored closely and tested with any dosage change. Call your doc and describe your symptoms and ask why you haven't been tested to check the effectiveness of your new dosage change. You should have been tested at 6 weeks!
i just discovered i have been giving my 41 year old daughter twice the amount of NEUTRA-PHOS-K powder as prescribed.....(the mgram amount is not listed on the packets) the prescribed dosage is one packet twice daily and i have been giving her 2 packets twice daily for about 2 weeks.....is she in any danger if i just go back to the prescribed dosage right now ?...
Hi - please consult your pharmacist or doctor before adjusting your medication dosage so you're certain to do so safely. Because every person's situation and medical history are different, only your medical professionals can advise you on how to safely adjust for missed dosages.
My problem with Subutex is when I have extreme pain my standard dosage does not help at all. I was wondering if I doubled the dosage in cases like this if it would help. An example is I have been in the hospital x2 with severe chest pains and no way to get relief. I know most of you are not doctors but wondered if you have taken more than prescribed for higher pain levels?
t think think any antidepressant offers benefits that increase in a linear fashion as the dosage goes up. For example, I am taking Celexa at 40 mg. I have read that increasing to 60 mg is possible but offers little clinical benefit.
About an hour after that I took an adult sized dosage of Nyquil. I awoke Monday morning with a sharp pain in my upper abdomen. The pain comes and goes but stays longer each time it "hits". My stomach seems to be a little swollen but since I am a larger sized woman and have my share of belly fat it is hard to say how swollen it is. It feels tight on the inside and that's the best way I can describe it.
Two years ago a nurse practioner increased my dosage from 50mg. to 150 mg. This caused my heart to start pounding day and night and espically at nught. It has been a little over two years and I still have problems romthis. How long will this last and will it ever completely clear up?
I have be on Gabapentin for about three years since my operations and it does help quiet the nerve pain I experience/Neuropathy. My dosage is 400mg 3x a day but I only take it twice a day. I was on a much heavier dosage years ago but also had a lot of pain medication at the time and it all doped me up.
Anyway, check any INTERACTIONS with this medication first. I have not experienced any lethargy (or I don't remember) but INTERACTIONS can be a cause with this medication.
Acetaminophen at any dosage mainly affects the liver, as well as the kidneys. The maximum daily adult dosage is 4000 mg (4g). You have ingested about 3 times the maximum daily dosage.
Even if you think that you are feeling fine now, the effects can last for days, as the liver damage increases.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER
I was miss prescribed by my Dr. a much higher synthroid dose. I was taking half of 25mcg (that's the lowest level) and my Dr changed my prescription to 125mcg (so I was taking then 67.5mcg). It got to the point I thought I was having a heart attack, would wake up every other minute at night. In a period of about 4 months my triglycerides jumped drastically, and I gained 40lbs.It seems my metabolism went cocoa puffs.
UND @ 6 weeks of 24 weeks. Horrible sides ! Anyone know if dosage reduction would be a a possibility? Thank you for your time.
I was 15 this time and I took 15 sleeping pills (not sure what it was, possibly Zopiclone? not sure of the dosage) and I took about 20 pills of diclofenac potassium. I remember counting the pills out, making sure I took them all without throwing up and then I don't remember anything until about 1-2 hours later when I heard my dad come home.
