Too much Medication???!
Question:
Too much Medication???
Ok...yesterday, I was having a full blown anxiety attack. I usually take Ativan for my aanxiety, but I had just run out the night before. The pharmacy wasn't open to get the refil because of the 4th of July. My body was twitching, I was having cold sweats, I was all tingly....and I just had urges to run around and scream (but I didn't) My whole life felt like it was falling apart. Soooo...I was at my in-laws for the BBQ. I took 2 benadryl tablets, drank about 1/2 bottle of Nyquil, 1/4 bottle of Tylenol cool rush nightime stuff, and my mom-in-laws codeine (about 3 Tablespoons). All these meds mad me really really sleepy, but the anxiety was still there. I still couldn't sleep because I was going crazy in the inside. When I got home, I took 2 Ativans, then 2 more, then 1 last one. I finally went to sleep at 5:30pm and never woke up until 9am this morning. Now, I feel like I am high. Like I am in a daze. I feel like the world is in slow motion and so I am. What did I do?? What should I do
Answers:
You took too many pills to slow down your system. I'm a little surprised that you even woke up when you did. Since you're awake and on Yahoo, I don't think you need an ambulance. You're pretty hungover though. Drink lots of water and eat a small meal, and don't do that again. If the benadryl doesn't work, you probably just need to wait for your meds. And please don't take too much Ativan. It is addicting and can cause heart problems. I don't know what the dosage on your tablets is, but 5 sounds like too many for one evening.
