I hope my head isn't PERMANENTLY failing, was what I ment to say :-)))

The ER doc just called back. After confering with my cardio, he told

me to skip the metoprolol dose (a betablocker) this evening and the

amiodarone tomorrow morning. Then everything should be fine. Also if I

should have the long QT syndrome (gene test pending). Good.

Thanks for listening,

Janne

Janne, I have done something like that... I take metoprolol once a day and 2 Metformin' s twice a day for my diabetes... the pills look a lot alike, and one day I took 3 of the Metformin in the morning, and realized that when I went to take my evening pills and saw the metoprolol. I was told that it was okay, but to be more careful... :)

Hi turk,

Nice to hear from you. I'm not sure what you mean, here. Are you saying that

taking an acciental overdose of this drug once or ttwice lowered your blood

pressure below where it was supposed to be, but didn't have any other

undesirable effects? Maybe I'm wrong. If so, could you please correct me?

Thanks a lot.

This morning I took a double dose of my meds by a mistake. I took the

ordinary dose, 400mg amiodarone plus 50mg metoprolol, at 7:30 am and

the same at 10:30 am lokal time. Never done such a thing before, I

just hope my head isn't failing too...

I have called the Er to be safe and are waiting for a doc to call me

back. Anyone (awake) that's had a similar experience?

Hello ;

Thats correct. In my case my usual blood pressure is normally 110 over 75 and after taking my doses accidentally i had a 85 to 90 over 60 for about an hour i think and just felt sleepy. I think everyone reacts differently to that situation, it all depends on your body. I had no other undesirable effects.

turk,

Thanks for confirming what I thought you must mean. You're right. That's not

exactly the scariest thing in the world. It's pretty benign in the way of

" disasters, " I'd say. (smile)
