Lethal Dose

How much ativan is lethal ## Hello, I am unaware of the lethal dose as that is dependent on weight, medical history, and other specifications. Below is some dosing information for Ativan (Lorazepam): The usual recommended adult dose is (2 mg) to (6 mg) per day divided into smaller doses. Dosages may vary from (1 mg) - (10 mg) daily. It is important that you follow the dosing regime that was prescribed by your doctor to ensure that you are taking an amount that won't be harmful to you. Do you have any more questions?

My 28 year old son recently died. I only gave him the smallest amount, 3 half a milligram tablets sublingually along with the clonazepam and lorazepam as prescribed. his toxicology report showed he had 21 L. he never got out of bed after 6 p.m. the following day I found him dead in his bed at 7 o'clock in the morning. I was with him until 4:30 in the morning. I had been speaking to the doctor on the phone cause he wasn't feeling well but I had no idea he was dying. could 21 L as it says in a toxicology report have been a lethal dose and how many milligrams of sublingual 8 milligram tablet will that equal? I spoke to the doctor 3 times by phone and he said I did not need to call the paramedics and that it was probably the depakote he prescribed that was making him have a sense of...

white oblong scored in the middle-letters ip 110-medication pill ## Depending on how someone's body reacts to the medication, it could take a lot more or a lot less pills than you think. I'm sorry to hear that you or someone you're referring to is even contemplating information like this. Just a thought, but if you're sole intent is to end your life, wouldn't you try to take a more definitive approach other than popping a random number of pills to see if it has the ability to kill? Unfortunately, it may just cause a person to end up in the hospital in a far more worse situation than they were in to begin with. ## If that's what you're thinking about, please reconsider. I've been down that road before. I know that it's difficult to say the least, but t...

how much is a lethal overdose? ## There is no pat answer to this, it varies depending on whether or not the person taking it already has a tolerance to opiates. If a person is opiate tolerant then they would need a higher amount to put themselves in any danger, however, a person who is not used to taking narcotics, would require a much smaller amount to achieve a lethal dose. ## I just took 5 2mg diluadid for the first time and I swear i thought I was gonna overdose do you think I'm gonna be okay im starting to feel better

Don't want to overdo it. But pain is horrific. How many Vicodin 's(10-300) are potentially lethal? ## Hi John, While there's no exact number of pills for a potentially lethal dose, I can tell you that for your own safety, the FDA recommends NO MORE THAN 4000mgs a day of Acetaminophen, and that is to be spread out over a 24hr period - NOT to be taken all at once. They also state in their warning that anything over 325mgs in a sitting has been shown to cause liver damage/failure; which from my understanding can eventually lead to death if liver damage is severe. So why don't you just ask the doctor for something stronger if Vicodin isn't cutting it? A lot of chronic pain patients are prescribed much more potent medications WITHOUT Acetaminophen, such as Oxycodone, Opan...

What is a toxic dose of hydrocodone at one time if the acetometophen dose isn't over 1000mgs, I'm asking only this question purely only on hydrococone alone what is a lethal dose for my educational purpose only do I need to know this question? ## There is actually no answer that can be given to this question. The toxic amount will vary from person to person, depending on their tolerance to opiates and their own body. One person may overdose on a very small amount, such as the 10mgs you mentioned, but someone else that has taken narcotics regularly may require very high amounts of it to do so. Learn more Hydrocodone details here. Are there any other questions? ## If I'm taking 2 or more of 10mg/325mg of hydrocodone recreationally is it lethal? I don't want to overdose, if...

pink and white capsel how much can kill you ## This capsule contains 25mgs of Diphenhydramine, it is an over the counter product, a generic or store brand of Benadryl. The lethal dose would, of course, depend on the individual and their tolerance to the medication. People that are used to it, will be able to tolerate much higher doses than those that aren't. The standard threshold, however, is to not exceed 500mgs in a day. Is there anything else I can help you with?

A dear friend recently died while in the hospital after receiving oxycontin 20mg and dilaudid 4mg within 19 minutes of each other does anyone know if that would be a lethal dose contributing to her death? Any information would help. Thank you ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I'm very sorry for your loss. But no, it isn't likely, neither of those are high doses. What was she being treated for? If she had some condition that caused depression of her central nervous system, these medications could worsen that and may contribute. Alternatively, there's a chance she may have been allergic to something. What was her death attributed to? The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, di...

Is 750 mg fatal to à low tolérance, 140 lb, 5"6 female in a 6 hr timeframe? ## According to the EMCDDA (European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction), the estimated minimum lethal dose in non-tolerant adults can start at 200 milligrams. However, further research suggests that larger doses may be better tolerated after chronic use of the drug, whereas doses of 400 to 500 mg are not "generally" fatal. Ref: toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+3287 750mg on the other hand is a significantly higher dose than what was even being considered lethal. Are you just speaking hypothetically or is someone you know actually at risk?

I found top half of a scored, white round pill. 12 on one side, blank on other. Really need to find out what it might be. I may have dropped the other half recently I don't want any pets to get it if it is a harmful or lethal dose for a 70 lb pitbull

Does anyone out there have a problem with this drug and teenagers popping these to feel high? My son almost killed himself on June 2nd, 2007. He took a whole box of these and drove a vehicle. They put a limit on sudafed, why not these pills? ## These pills contain DXM which is highly abusable by teenagers. However, coricidin contains other active ingredients which are lethal in high doses however DXM is not very much so. I used to be addicted to these activities. I would take a whole bottle of robitussin cough gels and have a great night. It is called robo-tripping and has similar effects to ketamine and magic mushrooms. Sudafed however does not contain DXM, and many people aren't going to disregard the warnings on pill bottles.

How many restyl sleeping pills can put a person to death?‎ ## Restyl contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, a Benzodiazepine, commonly used to treat anxiety, nervous disorders and insomnia. It is very difficult, actually, to have fatal overdose on this class of medication. To get even close you would have to take over 200 times the normal dosage and such overdosages are easily treated by almost any hospital. In most cases, when someone tries to deliberately overdose on this medication, they end up getting sick and then passing out, before they ever hit a lethal dose. They just wake up later feeling very miserable. Are there any questions or comments?

just want to know if Daflon 500 is not given to patient with chronic liver disease ... ## Since this medication is not approved for use in the U.S. and Canada, I am afraid that I don't have any information on that. Have you asked your doctor? Daflon is actually a purified flavanoid used as a venotonic. ## Here's research info from France, where Dalfon has been used for years. Angiology. 1994 Jun; 45 (6 Pt 2): 579-84. Safety and security of Daflon 500 mg in venous insufficiency and in hemorrhoidal disease.

What is the lethal dose of 10/325 NORCO?

What are the side effects of this medicine. Is it dangerous in case of an over dose, is it lethal? What are the symptoms of overdose and remedial measures.

How much of these are considered a lethal dose? Oramorph 10mg, Pregablin 600mg, and Lorazepam 3mg ## I'm sorry, but I actually can't provide you with this type of information, for two reasons. The first, of course, is criminal liability and the second is due to the fact that there is no hard and fast answer to the question. Medications affect everyone differently and what might overdose one person could be just a standard therapeutic dose for someone else. Rather than ending your life, you should really get help for whatever problems or mental condition(s) is making you feel this way, because suicide is never a valid solution to anything.
