death is possible--I think your friend is playing with fire.

No they don't.  They make a 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.  Valium is 2, 5, 10.

Go to your doctor, get a prescription for either Valium or Klonapin.  If you start getting a panic attack, just pop a pill and you'll be fine..

Good answer-Ill just add that benzodiazepines are not normally associated with death from overdose, because they are not central nervous system depressants-but just a little alcohol, choral hydrate, or barbiturate can make be a fatal combination.  Usually people hear "dont drink with these pills" and think it means "dont get drunk"  But in the case of benzos, even a small amount of alcohol can be extremely dangerous.

Yes - you will be overdosing on the iron within the pills.  This can be fatal, and is more common in children.

This is absolutely not real.  This is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, therefore it's a scam.  There is absolutely no way Lasik is able to be done on a generic basis, as there are many different procedures involved in the surgery.  For example, an astigmatism causes the development of an irregularly shaped cornea.  How would the Lasik Buddy (or whatever it's called) auto-correct the incision site?  There is also glaucoma, cataracts, etc...  which must be taken into account.  \nI'm actually fairly certain this little system is in direct violation of the FDA Laws.  If you attempt to use this, you are taking a huge risk with your eyesight.\n\nEssentially, this wacko wants you to take a sedative and then stick a laser in your eyes?   Yikes!  \n\nNeuroProf adds, "Diazepan (aka Valium), the drug issued with the kit, is a Class 3 Controlled Substance and therefore must be prescribed by a physician.  It is illegal \nto distribute generically."\n\nPeople who are on Valium can't operate an automobile, much less perform surgery(!?) on themselves.

I don't. However it is usually digested into small pieces of paper which is being put on mouth to get into your body.\n\nLSD is an hallucinative, and a very dangerous stuff which can be lethal at the very small amount of overdosing.\n\nIt is reported to damage de cromosones.

Ativan is benzodiazepine with an action similar to diazepam  (valium), valium is the same but allows skeletal and mental relaxation it's for sedation and anxiety.\n\nUsually for anxiety ativan you would take orally 2-3mg or 2-4mg for a premedication before surgery for sedation.\n\nValium usually is taken 2mg orally 3 times a day. 15mg for pre medication IV.\n\nIt depends on the action you require over which time frame to which is stronger valium has a quicker effect in a shorter time so to answer your question if both drugs are taken at the same time valium would kick arse.\n\nPS I have to be responsible and tell you not to take it if its not prescribed for you.

Yes. Overdosage amplifies the side effects of benadryl (in most countries, that is diphenhydramine HCl). Drowsiness becomes sleepiness. Gastrointestinal or stomach upset becomes gastrointestinal hemorrhage. One may take too much and damage the liver and kidneys. It is not unthinkable that someone goes into coma and possibly death with too much diphenhydramine, an antihistamine with central depressant effects, a downer. In my country, it is not recommended to give more than 400mg for adults in 24 hours or 50mg/kg-body-weight for children in a 24-hour period. It has a high LD50 though (LD50 is the dosage lethal to 50% of the population).

People don't take the time (we're SOOOOOO busy) to get to talking (just small talk) to others.  A crabass in the grocery store might have had an accident in the parking lot.  You just don't know. I try to at least make someone smile once a day.  No, I don't take valium.  Smile!

1. TRAZODONE ALONE - Of 820 trazodone overdose cases reported in 1985 to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, one death in a 64-year-old patient was noted from trazodone alone, and 3 deaths from multiple ingestants (Litovitz et al, 1986). \n2. TRAZODONE WITH COINGESTANTS - Nine deaths have been described following ingestion of 400 to 3650 milligrams of trazodone in combination with other drugs, including one case where alcohol was the only co-ingestant (Gamble & Peterson, 1986). \n3. A reported fatal case was due to drowning (Demorest, 1983). \na. Accidental ingestion of 200 milligrams in a 6-year-old child did not result in signs or symptoms (Ali & Henry, 1986). \nb. A 10-year-old who ingested an unspecified amount had abdominal pain only. \n2. INFANT \na. In 4 children aged 1.2 to 2 years, ingestion of 50 to 500 milligrams of trazodone resulted in no complications (Gamble & Peterson, 1986). \n3. ADULT \na. Ingestion of 2 to 3 grams has produced respiratory arrest (Flomenbaum & Price, 1986; Gamble & Peterson, 1986). \nb. Drowsiness and ataxia have been reported after 4 to 5 grams (Henry et al, 1984). \nc. Bradycardia and hypotension were reported after 1 gram (Dubot et al, 1986). \n1. A normal upper therapeutic blood concentration of trazodone is reported to be 2.0 milligrams/liter. Fatalities due to trazodone alone are rarely seen with post mortem blood concentrations below 9.0 milligrams/liter (Georinger et al, 2000). \n2. Peak plasma levels after single therapeutic doses have ranged from 700 to 1070 nanograms/milliliter after 50 milligrams and 2500 nanograms/milliliter after 200 milligrams (Catanese & Lisciane, 1970; Ankier, 1981; Putzolu et al, 1976). \n3. Levels as high as 15,000 and 19,000 nanograms/milliliter have been described after overdoses of 4 to 5 grams. Blood levels as high as 28 micrograms/milliliter (28,000 nanograms/milliliter) have been reported to the manufacturer (Pers Comm, 1987). \na. In these 2 patients drowsiness and ataxia were the only manifestations of toxicity. \n4. Coma was described in a patient with a level of 4,200 nanograms/milliliter 18 hours after admission and in a patient with a level of 8,200 nanograms/milliliter 20 hours after admission (Henry et al, 1984). Both of these had co-ingestants which may have contributed to coma. \n5. A post mortem blood level of 32.91 milligrams/liter of trazodone has been reported in an acute trazodone, fluoxetine and ethanol overdose in a 32-year-old which resulted in death (Goeringer et al, 2000).

of course, talk to your Dr. about it... but it will help you to relax... Valium sounds like a major strong drug.. and i suppose it could be in large doses, but its actually not a hard/zonk you out drug in small doses... sounds like you might need that or some tranzene or something to help you with the peaks of anxiety you are suffering...   your hormones might still be out of whack with having a baby 6 mo. ago...   talk to your Dr.,  if he is anything like mine, he will let you try some diff.things to get a grip on it... anxiety and sleeplessness is not fun. its 2006 and you should not have to suffer,  medication is so helpful but you don't want to become dependent if you can help it..    good luck and feel better soon.   j

This is a bad idea.  Both have similar effects and enhance each other.  This is a good way to end up in the hospital or an early grave.  Depressant/sedative drugs should not be mixed with other drugs or alcohol

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.

There is very little risk of overdosing on this product.  The only B-vitamins with any serious potential for toxicity are niacin and B6.  \n\nIn very high doses used for controlling cholesterol levels, and taken for very long periods of time, there is a risk of liver toxicity with niacin (but not niacinamide).\n\nAgain, in very high doses (300 mg/day for months to years) of B6 for a few people has apparently caused a reversible peripheral neuropathy.\n\nThe doses in this product would be safe at much higher levels than you are taking.  If you feel your panic attacks are helped by these nutrients you can safely take more to see if you improve further.\n\nIt is important to recognize that B-vitamins function as cofactors for many enzymes.  Sometimes these enzymes are genetically 'defective' and require much, much higher levels of the associated B-vitamin cofactor to properly activate the enzyme.  There are over 50 known genetic diseases that are treated with extremely high doses of the proper B-vitamin to activate the defective enzyme.  It is unknown how many people have an 'intermediate' level of function of an enzyme that may also respond to high doses of the vitamin cofactor, but it is likely that such situations are common.  For example, an important enzyme known as MTHFR (methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase) requires B2 as its cofactor. 10 -20% of the population has a genetic 'variant' of this enzyme that requires much higher doses of B2 for proper activity of the enzyme.  This particular issue plays an important role in the risk for many chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.\n\nI realize I have kind of run on a bit here.  But you asked a very important question and sadly, many health professionals (i.e. medical doctors) do not know this basic biochemistry and therefore believe the false concept that 'high doses of b-vitamins just make expensive urine'.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S.  Given your problem with panic attacks, you may also want to try taking some fish oil  supplements.  These provide important omega-3 fatty acids that are critical for the healthy functioning of your cell's membranes and also play a vital role in reducing inflammation.\nA good (not Centrum, One-D-Day or other 'Junk' supplements) multi-vitamin/mineral supplement may also be appropriate for you.
