so my girlfriend got my sudefed nighttime sinus

I took 3 of them (because I generally take 3 aspirin... or whatever) like 5 min ago... she's flipping out at me now because the package says to take ONE...

pseudoephedrine HCL 60mg
triprolidine HCL 2.5mg



call poison control? I feel fine... I'm not like puking or anything. Actually my fingers feel a little wierd.. but other than that I feel okay.

You'll be fine.

 

[Goosemaster]

[MX2]

I think you'll live:roll:

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

3?! OMFG YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!!! Jesus christ...

 

[godmare]

I overdosed... Oh, I know! I'll post about it.

 

[Mill]

You are 100% fine.

 

[Wallydraigle]

Better drink some tussin just to be safe.

You'll be just fine, your ears may ring a little.

You just took 3/4 of what your daily limits are of both of those drugs. You'll live but it might be a restless night of sleep depending on how sensitive you are to pseudoephedrine.

 

[RagingBITCH]

It's not like you had the whole thing.

 

[TheStu]

He should of just gone with the tussin in the first place... it cures everything!

 

[MrYAK]

Do you have hypertension?

 

[Compudork]

Wash it down with hard alcoholic beverages. It will dilute the meds in your system. Or kill you. I dunno, it's worth a shot.

 

[Kadarin]

Heh.. in my brief stint in the Army, I discovered that they loved to hand out pseudophedrine for damn near everything. And they told people to take 3 every 4 hours.

Believe me, after taking 12 pseudophedrines in a day, you feel pretty damn strange.

 

[cyclohexane]

enjoy while you can

 

[JonnyStarks]

Nothin to worry about, that just means its gonna work 3 times faster.

 

[BillGates]

It'd be best to kill yourself before the medicine really starts to take effect.

 

[Bootprint]

Get a Neti Pot and rehydrate those sinuses.

What he said, unless you are an uncontrolled hypertensive.
