Specializes in Psychiatry

Seek med care: Don't know which sleeping pill you over dosed on. But it is imperative that you get prompt medical care. The first reason is to determine if you need medical treatment for the overdose. The second reason is that you need behavioral health help because of the suicide potential for an over-dose. Take care.
