Concussion medication

2017-12-19 03:18:14
So I’m on amitriptyline eevail for a concussion to help with the headaches and I’m on a dose of 10mg each night. I haven’t been home for the past 3 days so I have forgotten to take my pill each night so tonight I accidentally took 4 pills to make up for my skipped doses forgetting that I can’t really do that and I am worried to go to sleep for the night. Should I be concerned ?

There is no need to be concerned. U took 40 mg of amitriptyline in total, which is not a lethal dose. U might experience more sedation than usual. Otherwise you will be fine.
Health Tips
Never try to compensate for missed dose by taking extra dose. U can take the regular dose only.
