the 180mg is a typo its really120


within the last three hours I'v taken 6 pills(i have a midterm) im only supposed to take 1 in the am and 1/2 of one in the middle of the day (yes i plan to ask my doc to up the dosage on my next visit in March). Question: Im laying on the couch and when i go to get up im feel dizzy and disoreinted..now iv never taken 6 pills before but i have done 4 at the most..
my heart isnt racing, im not about to pass out i did just eat a granola bar and drink some juice right after i took the last 2. Is there anything i should be worried about?
Yea i know i shouldnt have done this but im really scared about this midterm and i need all the help i can get.
I take 1 300mg wellbutrin and 1 .5 xanax in the morning(i took those around 10am if that matters...help:confused:
 
You've overdosed. Go to the emergency room, right now.

You'll need to have an EKG to check for damage to your heart. Even if you feel better tomorrow, your OD may have damaged your heart. Call your doctor first thing.

A overdose of adderall can lead to restlessness, tremor, rapid breathing, confusion, hallucinations, panic, aggressiveness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, an irregular heartbeat, seizures, psychosis and death.
 
I was just browsing the net and came across a message board that said the Max mg someone could take of adderall is 160. I don't feel anything either. Am I not suppossed to be all jumpy and jittery? Its like my body barely registers the extra dosage.
 
Overdose is not a matter of milligrams. Especially when you're talking about amphetamines.

But if you're just f.i.n.e., well, good for you! You dodged a bullet.
Maybe next time you'll remember not to stand in front of the gun? ;)



From the Adderall PI sheet: "Individual patient response to amphetamines varies widely. Toxic symptoms may occur idiosyncratically at low doses.

Manifestations of acute overdosage with amphetamines include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rapid respiration, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, panic states, hyperpyrexia and rhabdomyolysis.

Fatigue and depression usually follow the central stimulation.

Consult with a Certified Poison Control Center for up to date guidance and advice. Management of acute amphetamine intoxication is largely symptomatic and includes gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, administration of a cathartic and sedation."
