overdosing on ambien

[cbeaks]

Is it possible to cause serious problems by taking too much ambien all at once? I know you can harm yourself by taking too much of anything but does anybody know if there is a certain mg amount that has shown to be harmful? - cbeaks

The LD-50 on Ambien is rediculously high. But it causes blackouts at even therapeutic doses so that is what is more dangerous. Ambien should be taken like this: Take your ambien, goto bed. Do not do anything after you take it becuase blackout can set in and youll start calling old girlfriends and shit like that and not remember it. The other danger from ambien is it can cause physical dependence if taken for long enough, then the withdrawals can result in siezures and possibly death.

You dont remember anything because ambien actually belongs to a class of hypnotics. 10mg is more than enough for me, and I weigh almost 270lbs right now. No more than 30min after I take it and I'm out for the count.

I used to be on the shit and I would take it and come on here.

I would check out what I wrote the next day and sometimes laugh and sometimes go DOH!

OVERDOSAGE

Signs and symptoms: In European postmarketing reports of overdose with zolpidem alone, impairment of consciousness has ranged from somnolence to light coma. There was one case each of cardiovascular and respiratory compromise. Individuals have fully recovered from zolpidem tartrate overdoses up to 400 mg (40 times the maximum recommended dose). Overdose cases involving multiple CNS-depressant agents, including zolpidem, have resulted in more severe symptomatology, including fatal outcomes.

Recommended treatment: General symptomatic and supportive measures should be used along with immediate gastric lavage where appropriate. Intravenous fluids should be administered as needed. Flumazenil may be useful. As in all cases of drug overdose, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, and other appropriate signs should be monitored and general supportive measures employed. Hypotension and CNS depression should be monitored and treated by appropriate medical intervention. Sedating drugs should be withheld following zolpidem overdosage, even if excitation occurs. The value of dialysis in the treatment of overdosage has not been determined, although hemodialysis studies in patients with renal failure receiving therapeutic doses have demonstrated that zolpidem is not dialyzable.

Poison control center: As with the management of all overdosage, the possibility of multiple drug ingestion should be considered. The physician may wish to consider contacting a poison control center for up-to-date information on the management of hypnotic drug product overdosage.
