Brief Answer:
It seems in the range of overdose

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks again for posting at Healthcaremagic.


2 mg of xanax along with 3 mg of atiivan and 60 mg of oxycodone in last 12 hours is enough o make you overdose.

In other terms Xanax itself is at the range of maximum recommended dosage and 3 mg of ativan again counts equal to atleast one of xanax thus making in the range of overdose. The additional dose of cymbalta and oxycodone can make you drowsy for prolonged period of time.

I request you to call near and dear ones and report to emergency . If it is not possible call atleast ambulance and remain yourself under observation for next 12 hours.

I hope this answers your question.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
Ok, Than no problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

With available information I feel there is no risk of overdose as xanax is probably eliminated in last 13 hours and not contributing to overdose.

In view of the current information and your lucid response I feel there is little danger if any and you can stay at your home.

I also take this opportunity to request you to post direct query to an expert (that includes me) so you can get timely response. On many occasions the query remains there and may not reach to desired expert in least possible time duration.
