Cipro Overdose

Hi. My name is Renee. I took 3000mg of cipro at once. It's been two days and I feel nothing. But every time I think of pills I feel nauseous. What will happen? ## Hello, Renee! How are you? Cipro is classified as an antibiotic, you can't really overdose on it, the only real danger would be if you were allergic to it and, since it's been a few days, I think it's safe to say you aren't. Taking that high of a dose may cause you to experience more severe side effects than usual, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Has there been any change? How are you feeling? I'm guessing that feeling nausea, when you think of pills is just due to your worrying about how much you took.

I took 3 500mg. ciprofloxacinall a once. what can happen to me??? ## Hello, Dot! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? This is an antibiotic, so that really wouldn't be an overdose, so to speak, unless you are allergic to it or have some severe medical problem that it is contraindicated with. Otherwise, you'd likely just experience a worsening of the side effects and have more nausea and diarrhea than usual. Did you consult your doctor? You should double check this information with them, to be safe.

So I accidentally overdosed on 2 500mg of cipro, 2 200mg of ibuprofen, 1 200mg of Advil, 1 500mg of L848. Will I die or get sick? I took those all at once and I am scared. They all contain acetaminophen which scares me. Are there any bad side effects caused by taking these painkillers all at once? ## Hello, Rene! How are you? Did you experience any adverse issues? That is a large amount to take, at once, so you should inform your doctor, or seek emergency medical assistance if you start to feel very ill, dizzy, or as if you will faint, according to NIH overdose reports. However, these are not all pain killers and they do not all contain Acetaminophen, so you didn't take too much of that, the only one that you've listed which contains Acetaminophen is the tablet with the L848 mar...
