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.

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.

Just to let you know that my Dad has a prescription for Alprazolam which is a generic of Xanax and it is an oval pill scored on one side and on the other is G3719. \n\nXANAX Pfizer\nAlprazolam \n\nUse:\nBenzodiazepine anxiolytic.

most people start off with a 1.5 mg tablet each night before bed-time, and work your way to larger doses if needed.  Seldom is 6.0 mg needed.\n\nMelatonin is one of the least toxic substances known. People have taken as much as 6 grams (600 to 3000 times the normal dosage) of the substance in carefully monitored studies with no sign of toxicity.

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

It really depends on the person and why they are having them. I have a panic disorder and Post traumatic stress disorder so it is a serious medical condition for me. I need xanax to get through the day sometimes to keep me from having a panic attack like crazy. For that person they feel like they are going crazy and they are in constant pain. It makes me not be able to breathe and my heart races. I usually have to lie down and am afraid of everything. It is very serious for some. But some people have a better control over it.

You should only take the amount proscribed by your doctor. Your doctor selected that dosage for a reason. A person can overdose on many drugs, not just the illegal ones.

No, not an overdose. But certainly on the limits of most peoples abiltiy to process it, and generally said to be a recommended MAX dosage per day...for upto a week.\n\nIf the person was not drinking enough fluids &  generally unhealthy it may accumulate and cause accute liver damage.\n\nTypically 8g is classified as a maximum or highly dangerous dose warranting immediate hospital care.

Better check with your pharmacist if you're not sure.  I gather they were prescribed by different doctors.  It depends on several factors- how controlled is your blood pressure?  How much xanax are we talking about?\n\nI wouldn't take them within an hour of each other.  If you're going out into a situation that could bring on a panic attack, make sure you've taken you atenolol at least an hour before you go out.... just in case you find you need a xanax.\n\nUsed with caution, they're probably ok.  Your medical doctor and psychiatrist should each know what the other has prescribed- make sure you inform them.

The drowsiness experienced with Xanax is temporary lasting for about five days as your body becomes used to the medication.  You will be fine with your baby.  If you prefer you can begin taking the medication at bedtime when your baby sleeps the longest.  If you have concerns SPEAK WITH YOUR DOCTOR it is his job to teach you and your family about your condition

Well the obvious is that you will damage something and not feel it.  An overdose can cause a heart attack even in young guys.  Its used by some people to prolong the sexual act by decreasing the guy's sensitivity.

Hard to imagine Nalion 50 mg. - Our Micromedix states that Nalion is Alprazolam/Norfloxacin - a Benzodiazepine like Xanax (antianxiety medication).  That's alot of mgs.  I couldn't find any reference or cross reference to Deanxit so guess you will have to consult a pharmacist.  I tried my best.  Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Narcotic tolerance varies greatly from person to person, and it also depends on whether the person was a chronic user of opiates or not. \n\n1 or 2 wouldn't do it, you'd probably need at least 10 for a narcotic naive person. You probably couldn't orally overdose a heroin addict, because fentanyl has such a short half life.
