I noticed no one answered this question for you so I thought I would help you out.\n\nHere's a quote from Proctor and Gamble's website of the MSDS for pepto-bismol:\n\nOverdose will produce symptoms of salicylate intoxication - nausea, dizziness, tinnitus, \ndeafness, sweating, and dyspepsia. \n\nSo there you go, and if you want to know what all those terms are, look em up at http://www.medlineplus.com

i think it's the other way around: when your stomach hurts, you take pepto bismol to relieve the pain!

Yes.  Not only is this true, it is also possible to vomit and defecate at the same time!!  That is not a pleasant thing to do, so don't try it.

You can easily die from oxycontin. Check out this site and see some of the kids who have died and their parents that are devastated.\nIf you do choose to do it you should have babysitter to call 911 for you should something happen. \n\nDrugs you dont get from a dr and pharmacist yourself could be anything and are more likely to kill you.\n\nhttp://www.oxyabusekills.com/

Take it from someone who has had gastric bypass surgery which severely drops your iron levels.  I too was told that I was anemic (low iron levels).  If you take two pills per day, that should be plenty.  You can overdose on iron; however, I think it would take quite a bit.

A lethal dose can vary from person to person depending on numerous different factors.  Taking over the recommended dose of any medication can potentially be harmful.  With that said taking the recommended dose of some medications can be harmful, but if you are prescribed something it's probably for a reason (benefits out-weight the risk). Anyways I'm kind of worried why you asked this.  If you think you overdosed immediately call poison control or 911!  If you think your dosage is too high or too low, contact your physician and they will help you make  adjustments to your prescription.  If you are thinking of overdosing, please visit your family physician as they can probably help you work out a few things.

Overdoses vary.  It is possible to overdose and not take a fatal dose.  It can cause permanent brain damage and psychosis.  I work in the mental health field and my group home is 50% of my client's are this type.\n\nIf they take a fatal dose and they don't recieve medical help quickly enough they will die.

No...then a bunch of people will buy Viagra and basically overdose and kill themselves.\n\nViagra and other medical enhancement drugs may have severe side affects, and the doctor may need to assess any problems -- it's not just like popping an advil, and boom! you're set.

Drink plenty of water.  It could dehydrate you.  They dry me out when I take them as prescribed.  Side effects can be shakiness anyway.\n\nWhat happens if I overdose?\n •  Seek emergency medical attention.\n •  Symptoms of a pseudoephedrine overdose include extreme tiredness, sweating, dizziness, a slow heartbeat, and coma.

If you think you've overdosed on Vicodin you need to go to an emergency room ASAP. It can be fatal. There's not much you can do at home besides try to throw up the pills but they're probably already in your bloodstream so you'd have to go to the emergency room.\n\nSome symptoms of a vicodin overdose are:\nBlood disorders, bluish tinge to skin, cold and clammy skin, extreme sleepiness progressing to a state of unresponsiveness or coma, general feeling of bodily discomfort, heart problems, heavy perspiration, kidney problems, limp muscles, liver failure, low blood pressure, nausea, slow heartbeat, troubled or slowed breathing, vomiting

Sounds like an "urban legend" to me. Given that the normal usage requires that the product become airborne and therefore inhalable, I would highly doubt that there would be chemicals in such concentrations to be lethal.

I have talked to my doctor and she says you should never make yourself throw up (unless you've been poisoned, you know, like eaten detergent or something) - your body is good about regulating that stuff and if you need to puke, it'll happen!  Ipecac is tricky because you can easily take too much (sometimes a tiny bit can be too much!) and then you'll throw up repeatedly, get dehydrated, and end up in the hospital.  If you *really* want to throw up, you can stick your finger down your throat, but I don't recommend it.  Let your body take care of itself!  Good luck - and sorry about that fish :)

If they are water solulable vitamins then you will just pee them out but if they are fat solulable then you could overdose on them.
