Taking more methocarbamol than prescribed is dangerous and can lead to serious consequences. Don’t attempt to use it recreationally; it’s not designed for that purpose.
Symptoms of Overdose
- Severe drowsiness or sleepiness Confusion and disorientation Slowed breathing or shallow breaths Low blood pressure Muscle weakness or paralysis Seizures Loss of coordination Nausea and vomiting Blurred vision Heart problems
These symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. The severity depends on the amount of methocarbamol ingested and individual factors.
What to Do in Case of Overdose
Immediately call emergency services (911 in the US, or your local equivalent). Describe the situation clearly and accurately to the dispatcher. Follow their instructions carefully. If possible, provide information about the amount of methocarbamol consumed.
Time is critical in overdose situations. Quick action can significantly improve the chances of a positive outcome. Never hesitate to seek immediate medical help.
Long-Term Effects
While acute overdose presents immediate dangers, potential long-term effects are less well understood and require further research. However, it’s vital to understand that abusing any medication increases the risk of long-term health problems.
