Taken Over Dosage Of Paracetamol, Pain In Calf Muscles. Tried Cold Compression, Drinking Fluids. Suggestion
i woke yesterday after being asleep for 2 1/2 days after a quetiapine/ paracetamol overdose to find i had severe pain in the calf muscles in both legs. i have tried soaking in hot bath, cold compressions, drinking lots of fluids but nothing is easing the pain.Do you have any suggestions as to what it could be? they are not hot, swollen or tight, they feel normal except they hurt like nothing i have ever felt before
hi
suicidal tendency with quitipin and paracetamol is fatal.....you are lucky to be saved as arrhythmia is common......high dose quitipin causes meuroleptic malignant syndrome with sever muscle pain...stop taking quitipin and consult psychiatrist and neurophyscian
take care
Go to ER - blood tests like CK / electrolytes / D-dimer / blood counts may have to be checked...
Clinical examination is necessary / Doppler may have to be done...
Subsequently Psychiatric assessment and assistance are a must
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
