[estellacruella]

i rather stupidly double dosed on my sleeping tablet tonight. normally take 7.5mg of zolpiclone but have taken 2 by accident. i am now panicking
is ther anybody on here who could let me know if i should go hospital or will i be ok just sleeping it off.

Phone 111 (assuming you're in the UK)

You'll be fine.

Call 111. Do not take a risk and take medical advice for stuff like this from others online.

What are your medical qualifications?

Op ring 111. That’s the right thing to do in this situation

Go to bed, cancel any work or appointments for tomorrow. Don’t make any big decisions 24 hrs - you will be ok.

Actually, 15mg Zopiclone is a safe prescribed dose for some people. I've been on 15mg before in the past. It's not commonly prescribed, leading people to believe 7.5mg is the max dose, but doctors can prescribed 15mg in some circumstances.

There is no need to call 111 unless you are worried about new symptoms or side effects. The only reason I would be concerned would be that you may be looking after young children who you may not hear in the night if you are quite sedated. If you're still drowsy in the morning, do not drive, operate machinery or as a PP said, make any big decisions. Definitely no alcohol.

You'll more than likely sleep it off overnight.

thanks everyone for your replys.i am infact ok having just woke up must have fell asleep after starting this thread. Will be extra vigilant in the future as i did start to panic after i realised my mistake.
