A member asked:
My friend took 5 excedrin extra strength pills, 2 tylenol (acetaminophen) cold and flu, and 2 xannax. will she be okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is a dose that could be fatal. Worse is the fact that this is exactly the way people overdose on prescription medicines. It is vital: xanax and pain pills MUST be kept in the bathroom cabinet, never by the bedside. By the time you have taken one Xanax (alprazolam) and two pain pills your judgment is lost and you take handfuls of whatever is at the bedside. For a cold, better to take tea, lemon and honey
