Question Posted Saturday December 24 2016, 12:12 pm
Hey, so I have a question. I've been depressed in the past, and I'm currently still going through anxiety. I don't believe I'm depressed (at least nothing like I used to be before), but today is Christmas Eve, and since I was little, holidays have not gone well with my family. 10 years ago my grandma died about a week or two before Christmas, my other grandma has pretty much abandoned us (as well as my aunt), my other aunt and uncle got divorced about a month ago, my best friend is in the hospital, and me and my dad always seem to have arguments around this time. I didn't exactly have an episode, but I became very numb and I felt more dead than alive. I still self harm every once in a while since I grew addicted to it back when I was severely depressed. I'm a lot better now, but I still go through it sometimes. Today I ended up overdosing on busparoine. I took about 7 pills (maybe 8 idk). They were only 5 mg per pill. Anyway, my question is, what kind of side effects do you expect me to receive? Keep in mind I wasn't trying to kill my self. I already knew many of the side effects, I just don't know what I'll experience with the amount I took. I'm sitting down and feeling dizzy. My body keeps going kinda numb. Anyways, I'm 5'10, female, and around 140 (maybe less) lbs. can anyone fill me in?
Other common side effects may include:
dizziness, headache, blurred vision;
drowsiness, feeling tired;
feeling restless or nervous;
nausea, dry mouth, upset stomach;
sleep problems...
You say you were not trying to kill yourself and I believe you. You did not exceed the maximum daily dosage of this drug. what you did was jump to higher dosage rather than increase in increments. You will most likely suffer many of the side effects this drug causes because of this.
Since I am not a doctor and I do not know you or your medical history I am going to suggest you call 911 and go to a hospital emergency room to be checked out. Some of the side effects can be harmful to the kidneys, Liver and stomach.
Holidays such as Christmas should be a pleasant and happy time. For people suffering from depression and anxiety this is not always the case. You're not alone in feeling this way. For many years I felt this way as well. Thanks to a wonderful therapist I no longer feel this way. IF you are not in therapy I suggest you try it. It does work and you will feel better without taking heavy medication. Also talk to the therapist about self-harm. There is no reason to harm yourself and scar up you body.
