My boyfriend took one 2mg xanax at 7 o'clock. Then he took another 2mg at about 7:30. It's now 10:46 and he's sleeping on my couch. What should I do? I am not into this drug thing, so I'm sorry if I sound dumb. I'm just worried. What should I do now? And when ever he wakes up for a second, he can't even get it and walk. Any advice? And please don't criticize me or him. I just want my question answered. Thank you in advance.
Answer:let him sleep it out.
dont bug him right now.
its a very mellow high so dont ruin it for him.
good luck :)
How about calling 911 and getting him checked out at the hospital?
If you are concerned then call posion control they should be able to help. I hope by you saying do not criticize you know how stupid this is . . .
I am not sure, but I would call poison control and ask them. (Or you could call the local emergency room).
he'll be fine in the morning.. it is a nerve pill or tranquilizer. He should have given the first one time to work though. If he takes them all the time it may take more for him. They are addictive though and can cause withdrawls if taken too much too long.
quite a large dose.if it is not something he doess all the time,his tolerence is low.SO if he doesnt do it often,keep an eye on him.Watch & see if he quits breathing...NOw if he does this often,he'll sleep awhile.watch him..
well depends how often he takes them - but he has definately takes more then he should have - he will sleep for probably 7-14 hours - he will not be able to drive home tonight - if you want him out of your house - call someone to come get him and carry him out - if he seems to be having trouble breathing call the ambulance - otherwise he just has to sleep them off - and he will be out of it for a while when he wakes up too - and no offense - find a new man this one has a serious problem - xanax is perscribed for depression and anxiety - so either he has mental issues - or he bought them illeghally and is a drug addict
I think they come in 25, 50 or 100 mg tabs...so Im not sure of the dose amount. I would check to make sure it is really xanax...hopefully he hasnt taken something that is a fake and will make him sick. If he is incoherent and cannot wake up to fairly alert, then he should go to the er. If he just cant walk or move around well, but is "all there" mentally, then I would suggest watching him and letting him sleep it off for a while, no more pills. Alcohol can also make the effect worse, but pls check the pill, the dose you said does not sound like xanax.
Xanax is a sedative and it will take some time for it to wear off. I take only 1mg for panic attacks, so 4mg (to me) is kinda high, but everyone is different. Shouldn't be a problem..just let him sleep it off.
