A member asked:

I accidentally took 4 advil with 50 mg of doxepin. do i need to go to the hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

DOUBTFUL: It should not be a problem but do not do it again. Four Advil is 800mg and is rough on the stomach but should not be lethal. Should not routinely take this high of a dose without a doctor's recommendation and always take it after food. Doxepin 50mg is a good dose and is sedating.
