Accidental Overdose - How Serious? Posted: 10-06-05 01:41am
I don't think i'm in a lot of trouble, so
I haven't booked in with a doctor, but I
think I might have accidentally overdosed
on my epilim last night. I am on 900mg
twice a day. When I got home from the
pub last night I thought I popped out one
500mg and two 200mg's, like I usually do.
Went to take my breakfast tablets this
morning though and found a solitary 200 in
the packet, which just doesn't add up
(because I take the 200s in pairs). Hope
this makes sense.
All I can think is that in the dark I must
have popped out 2 x 500s and 1 x 200 - a
dose 300mg higher than what it should have
been. Just took the normal 900mg dose
this morning.
Just wondering if I should be stressed,
what I should do, any side effects, etc.
Also, I was due for a blood test this week
but think last night's 'overdose' will
effect my levels. How long should I put
off getting the blood test so that the
levels sent to my neuro are the 'real'
figures. Sorry for the long post, hope
it's not too jumbled and makes some sense,
and that someone can help. Xoxoxo

I would call the neuro and pharmacy and
ask them. I think one big dose like that
might make you a bit dopey, tired or have
a harder time thinking,b ut do not think
it would do more, but I am not a doc...
