Person took 100 100mgcapsules of seconal sodium 6hours ago,and is still alive.is this normal? ## Not every overdose is immediately fatal. Even though the person may seem to be alive and fine, you can't see whether or not they've done any organ damage, especially to their liver, which usually takes the brunt of such overdoses. Has the person displayed any symptoms of overdose that the FDA lists, such as dizziness, hypothermia, hemorrhagic blisters and shallow breathing? Have you called emergency services? ## I have cancer this internet site told me by my weight id need 250 pills/ 100mg each Seconal...how do you keep from throwing them up do I need a muscle relaxer also? ## This internet website says I need 250 100mg Seconal pills by my weight for Euthanasia I have cancer...any wa...

I received a prescription for seconal 100mg in 2006. It has not been opened and kept in the dark. What are the chances that it is still active? If it is not 100% active can you estimate it's activity? Could it be 50% active? Thank you. ## Hello, Jack! How are you? Is it in a bottle from your pharmacy, or the original factory sealed bottle? If it's in a pharmacy bottle, then that does count as being opened, since it was removed from the original container and it would have expired one year from the date of dispensing. And no, I can't even guess at the level of effectiveness that may remain, but I doubt its much, if any. It would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. ## The seconal is in an official looking container from Ranbaxy Pharmaceutical...

I can't find any seconal or tuinal, I took this medication for many years after getting ulscers from fiorinal so I'm searching to find out where I can get this very old sleeping medication.

what's the shelf-life of old seconal tablets? ## Shelf life of Seconal is 60 months. Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## In my experience, expired Seconal was 100 percent good. I've taken expired 60s even 50s of Secobarb / Seconal and it's like nothing changed period.

My physician prescribed every benzo drug imaginable (Ambien, Lunesta, sp?) and they were ineffective for my occasional insomnia, at best. He gave me a prescription for Seconal to use as needed. When I tried to fill it you would have thought the Rx said "Opiates" or "LSD". The younger pharmacists had not a clue as to what it was, and the older ones acted like they had seen a ghost. Anyway, I finally found the medication via my home delivery pharmacy and when I need it, I take it and it works. No wiped out memory, no sleepwalking, so groggy aftermath. Any drug when taken in excess or with other drugs can be dangerous...this includes simple OTC drugs, Tylenol, aspirin etc. This drug has been so vilified. I know that there is another use for the drug (in Oregon), however thi...

I have 100mg red Seconal Capsules filled in Feb, 2008. The expiration date is July, 09. I keep them in a bag in a dark corner of my linen closet where there is no moisture. How long are they actually good for? ## They were good until that expiration date. It isn't that these become dangerous, after they expire, but medications do lose effectiveness with time. The older they get, the less they will do. ## I stumbled upon 120 of the red capsules (100 mg) Lilly brand. How long are they good for? ## I have 25-30 Eli Lily 100mg Sodium Seconal capsules with an expiration date of at least 2016. Are they still good past this date? Thank you. ## Sorry but your outta luck... Even if you did have reds, Lilly hasn’t made them in years.

Does anyone know where to get Seconal? I have an Rx but no one has it in stock. ## Have you tried asking your pharmacy if they can order it in for you? Even if they don't carry it, they should be able to order enough in to fill your prescription. The pharmacy I use regularly just did this with a medication for me, because I'm a regular customer and they know I'll gladly buy it there instead of running elsewhere. Your best bet is to go in, show them your prescription and see what they can do for you. Are there any other comments or questions? ## Great advice. Thank you. I will try today. ## I can't sleep at nite. In a weeks time I maybe get 4 hours of sleep. I need help. I look and I feel old. ## Hi all, I have a legitimate prescription for about 20 seconal and I am havin...

I can an incurable illness. I need to acquire seconal for purposes of euthanasia. How can I do this? ## Hi Gio, I'm sorry to hear that you are trying to use this medication to end your life. For this very reason, I have my doubts that a doctor would even be willing to write you a script for it. Seconal (Secobarbital sodium) is a "prescription-only" medication, indicated for: Treatment of epilepsy, Temporary treatment of insomnia, & Used as a preoperative medication to produce anaesthesia and anxiolysis in short surgical, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures which are minimally painful. May I ask what type of illness you have that cannot be cured? ## I'm so sorry for your situation. ## Hint: vet clinics only in the country of Peru, in target specific cities, such as ...

I am 66 and used seconal in the very early 70's to decompress from 2 tours in vietnam and i am having sleep and recurring issues again along with many physical problems I am not sure my Dr will give me a script for them...are they still manufactured...how can I find an agreeable DR ## Hello, Alan! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you're having. Yes, it is still available in the 100mg dose. However, there are also other treatment options available that are much cheaper, which a doctor might want you to try, now. Something else may work even better for you. Do you currently have a GP that you see regularly that you could discuss it with?

I am looking for a doctor in the NJ area who has prescribed Seconal for insomnia. I have tried everything else with no luck. I am sleeping about 2 hours a day. Does anyone know of any doctors in this area that have prescribed this medication? Thank you!

JIM HAS NOW BEEN ON RUXOLITINIB FOR 8 WEEKS AND FEELING AND LOOKING MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE HE STARTED THE MEDICATION. PROBLEM IS HIS ANEMIA IS A PROBLEM, ONLY 7.7 AND TRANSUFISIONS ONCE A WEEK AND HIS PLATLET LEVEL IS WAY UP AT 1200. AFTER THE FIRST 4 WEEKS FELT SO MUCH BETTER, NOW NOT FEELING AS GOOD AS HE WAS. GOING TO THE SPECIALIST ON THURSDAY, MAYBE HIS DOSAGE NEEDS ADJUSTING. ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? PLEASE SHARE IF YOU HAVE. HE IS TAKING 2OMGS, TWICE A DAY. ## What was his levels before starting?

I was on antibiotics for 7 days on the last day took fluconazole as prescribed when can i take another dose becuase its been two days and i still have this discharge should i wait or take that second dose? ## Hello, Rose! How are you? You do need to give it some time to work. Has there been any improvement, yet? Most women experience improvement within 24 hours and then a full cessation of symptoms in a few more days. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.
