Overdose inquiry
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?
