What Causes Mild Chest Pain And Difficulty While Swallowing?
Question: I have taken more Wellbutrin than what was prescribed. In addition to that I taken 1 painkiller pill. Right now I have mild chest pain and difficulty swallowing. I am in college and want to avoid getting in trouble. Will I be able to work my way through this or should I contact emergency services. At what point should I get help? Also my vision is slightly more blurry than it normally is (I am countering this using my glasses)
Brief Answer:
Better to go to ER if there are symptoms of OD

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
If you have taken more than double the dose of Wellbutrin prescribed and are having symptoms of an overdose, it is better to go to the ER and have yourself examined and treated if necessary.

It's been 24 hours since my initial question. Fortunately overnight most of my symptoms subsided without a trip to the ER. Even though I didn't need to go to the hospital because of this experience I will handle my subscription meds more responsibly. However thanks for your help and feedback.
