You have to tell me name of the medication before I can tell its toxic effect.
more than one isn’t recommended… one could range from 5-30mg… your friend is in trouble.
What is the name of the sleeping pill? If it is over-the-counter it is probably diphenhydramine "benadryl", but if it was mixed in with tylenol and she took 3/4 of an extra strength tylenol then she probably only got about 20mg of benadryl.
But, without the name of the drug their is no telling what she did. If it was a benzodiazepine (ex. Xanax, Valium) then she probably won’t die and has a low risk of respiratory failure. But if she actually took that much than she needs to be watched to make sure.
BUT IF SHE ACTUALLY TOOK 700MG, THAT IS A HUGE DOSE YOU BETTER CALL 911 AND HAVE SOME ONE WATCH HER.
REMEMBER THERE IS ONLY ABOUT A 4-6 HOUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY ONCE THERE IS A TYLENOL OVERDOSE. AFTER THAT YOUR LIVER IS %UCKED, AND YOU WILL DIE LIKE A DOG.
WORST PART IS YOU WON’T DIE THEY DAY YOU OVERDOSE, YOU WILL DIE IN A MONTH OR SO WAITING ON A LIVER TRANSPLANT. YOU LIVER PROVIDES YOU WITH COAGULATION FACTORS AND YOU WILL HAVE NONE AND WILL LOOK LIKE $HIT WHEN YOU DIE. ALL BRUISED UP BLEEDING FROM EVERY ORFICE
GOOD LUCK!!
Any time a person takes over the amount perscribed…It’s an overdose.
I would be worried…sleeping pills can be addictive and yes dangerous.
You need to ask a doctor about how much.
There are sites that can answer this question more clearly.
