What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Overdose Of Valium?
Brief Answer:
Yes, go in to ER
Detailed Answer:
Hello -
The risks are that it can cause significant sedation. Depending on what your body is used to, this can be just increased sleepiness, but can cause even further nervous system sedation. Coma is rare, and would be highly unlikely at this dose. However, I don't know how your body will responds, so I recommend that you go in to the ER where they can monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and respirations. You should not drive yourself. They can also give you Flumazenil which can help reverse the excessive amount of Valium.
I can tell you more, but I don't want to delay you going in to get treatment right now.
