Amitriptyline Overdose

2024-12-03 19:41:18
"I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. It has been more than 48 hours since the ingestion, and I haven't experienced any severe symptoms. After taking the medication, I slept for almost around 24 hours. I also have IBS, and I'm concerned about any potential long-term effects or complications related to the overdose. Am I now in the safe zone? When would it be safe to resume my prescribed amitriptyline dose of 10 mg twice a day? Should I undergo any tests or monitoring before resuming the medication, or would it be safe to wait for a week and then restart my regular dose?"

Please get checked out at a nearby hospital or by a doctor. If your clinical condition is stable, you do not need to be concerned. If there are any issues, the clinician will recommend further treatment. Next time, do not exceed the recommended dosage; it can be fatal. Consult a psychiatrist for IBS and antidepressant treatment. Good luck.
