Help! Took more than my dose by accident


[Pr...]

Recommended Posts

Normally I take .125 mg in the morning and .125 mg in the afternoon. Today I am having bad memory problems. I accidentally took .25 mg this afternoon. What is this going to do or make me feel like?  Already having issues with memory. Is this going to make it worse tonight?

Impossible to know if you'll notice much of a difference or not.  A single extra .125 mg dose is going to raise the level of the drug in your body by about 20%, and it will take several days before you're back down to where you were (since klonopin has a fairly long half-life).  I wouldn't fret about it, but I'd probably hold off on doing any additional cuts for a week or so (until you've re-stabilized).

Ok thanks. I appreciate it. I had a procedure that doesn't allow me to throw up anymore so I couldn't get it out. Right now I feel more relaxed. I guess this is considered a rescue dose.  I am going to go back to my usual dose tomorrow. I will not be making anymore cuts until the 25th. You don't think one extra dose of .125 is going to mess up my schedule and make me have to taper down from this higher dose do you?

I've taken an extra 10 mg of V by mistake and didn't notice any difference. Now I set my clock or watch and triple count the pills. Bets

Impossible to know with certainty, but probably not.

I did this several times during my taper. Never noticed a difference, just worried alot.

 

 

couldn't of said that better myself.  was worried until several people told me it would be ok.  i actually slept last night.  of course, since finding this site and all my new buddies, i have been able to sleep every night.
