19 hours later: Just saw your post. I hope you are well, but as a general answer any time you are afraid of a possible poisoning, either you or a pet, call poison control. This nationwide system can answer your question right away. Amount, concentration, specific drug, alcohol, sedatives and other considerations must be evaluated. Call poison control!
