Is it possible to overdose on sleeping pills without drinking alcohol ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Are you considering taking an overdose of sleeping pills? If no, please forgive my intrusiveness -but I am shrink & tend to worry about this type of thing. If yes, please have a friend or relative drive you to the emergency room now for immediate help. Or you can call 911 for help from emergency services.
