What Are The Side Effects Of Fluoxetine Overdose?
Question: Hi,
I am a 26 year old male. I am on a dose of 1 Met XL 25(Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release Capsules) per day for hypertension and a dose of 1 Zeftin 20 (Fluoxetine Capsules) per day for anxiety/depression.. I may have accidentally take two of each today morning. While I called my psychiatrist and he assured me there isn't a problem in taking two doses of zeftin 20 accidentally, but I would like to be assured whether there is a problem if I have have taken the two together(met xl and zeftin). First, I am not sure if I have taken two, in the first place. I may have only taken one of each, as usual. If I had done the mistake anyway, around 2.5 hours have passed. Don't have any symptoms other than anxiety(which I already have in general).. My pulse is currently 62(my usual pulse is 60-70). Is there a problem?
