[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571627, member: 1233"] If you are okay by now, it should be okay. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IWTH THESE. thank you just had these, and in the info from the pharmacy they noted that with an overdose you NEED to call poison control and/or get help because death was found to occur within the first hour after OD. I don't know what strength you have, but I know our pharmacy AND the doctor at urgent care both stressed this. You may still want to call poison control. I was rather alarmed to read this, and we keep a pad of paper with the medication bottle to write down what time each dose is taken. I do that with most medications that we don't take at the same time each day. This medication does come in 2 strengths, but I don't knwo what they are. I do know the first didn't do anything at all for my mom, so the next tme her doctor gave her the higher strength. This isn't the same at the dextromethorphan that is OTC and the kids like to OD on because you hallucinate. I don't get why anyone would wnat to hallucinate, but it takes a whole lot of diagnosis to kill yourself. Bentonotate or however that is spelled is different and it takes a lot less to OD on it. I hope you are okay. [/QUOTE]
