A member asked:

My friend took over 85 mg of ambien (zolpidem) and over 500 mg of gabapentin last night, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overdose?: Depending upon level of responsively, may need to be seen immediately in emergency dept, but even if more alert, contact a physician as there may be significant psychiatric issues impacting this event. Do not justify or "blow off", as this could be the initial event of a major crisis.
