Overdose inquiry

2018-08-31 19:58:48
Hello, I overdosed on hydroxyzine anxiety pills on May 19th and was not able to receive activated charcoal or stomach lovage for the incident. I’ve been to both emergency rooms and my primary care physician twice and they think everything checks out fine. The pills were 10mg each and the amount taken was 26. Is 260mg a lethal dose of hydroxyzine?

The drug ought to have been completely eliminated from your body by now. The elimination half life varies from 5 to 9 hrs which means that half the amount in the blood is removed in this time period.
Next Steps
Suggest you check with your physician regarding need to check liver function. Suggest you also talk to a counselor as this is deliberate self harm.
