Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Recommended daily maximum dose is 30mg for an adult patient. It is not supposed to exceed this dose. And that 30 mg is also in divided doses.
If someone took 140mg at once, it is a case of severe poisoning and he may have the symptoms of of overdose that may include: fast and irregular heartbeat, fainting, severe drowsiness, slurred speech, seizures, mood changes and mental state change (such as confusion, hallucinations), even coma to death if not treated in ER. Immediately call the Provincial poison control center.
Patient may die of cardiac dysrhythmias. There may be respiratory depression too from depressed diaphragmatic function and death.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly.
Regards!
