How many mgs of sleeping pills do you have to take for it to become fatal?!


Question:

How many mgs of sleeping pills do you have to take for it to become fatal?

i'm 130 pounds and today i had 6 over the counter sleeping pills with 50mg each, so thats 300mg all together...
it just made me wonder how many is too many.

[only wondering, i'm not suicidal. i just don't want to take way too many in the future or something.]

i forgot to add that i didn't take all 6 at once; i had 3 earlier in the afternoon at about 2:00, and then the other 3 around 9:30.
so they were kinddd of spread out


Answers:

you should only take what your doctor says to take. if you use over the counter and take to many you are putting yourself in danger of liver disease. if you think you have problems now check out liver damage on webmd.com.
if you are taking benadry (dyphenhydramine) you are putting yourself in danger of a cholenergic chrisis which is a horrible condition. if your problem is only insomnia take a warm bath with a few drops of lavendar essential oil 2 hours before retiring, no caffeine, chocolate or smoking after 3 pm. keep a notebook by your bed and just before retiring write down three things you were thankful for each day....yes, you can think of three things.....example: the neihbors dog did not bark so much today...the warm sun on your skin this morning...you can do it sweetie! good luck and may God bless you
