Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. It depends on how much sleeping pills has she consumed. In case if you cannot predict them correctly then it would be wise to take your mother to a physician and keep her under observation until she regains consciousness. Taking extra sleeping pills can create problem with the respiratory centers and this has to be taken care of. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
