A member asked:
I've taken 2 sleep aid tablets that contains 25mg of doxylamine succinate and 2 pain killers containing 5mg. have i overdosed? 24yo male.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Max daily dose is: 60 mg/d in divided doses 4-6 hrs apart. It may interact with other medications so best to check with pharmacist about interactions with the specific pain killer even though it is in combo with the pain killer since you have taken an additional 50 mg above what was included in the pain killer. Overdose is 50-500 mg/kg and may include dilated pupils, seizures, hallucinations so you should be okay.
