Accidentally just took two sleeping tablets?!

I just took two Nytol 1 a night 50mg sleeping tablets. I have been having real problems sleeping recently hence why I am still awake. Took a tablet and went to brush my teeth and then came back and took another. So I have taken 100mg in total. I am really worried now and don't know what to do, obviously scared to fall asleep. Does anyone know if this will be okay? The active ingredient is diphenhydramine.

I wouldn't imagine it'll harm you at all. Sleep well Smile

I would ring 111 to check.

Omg, relax. You'll be fine.

OP have a look here as it tells you maximum doses for various conditions 100mg looks to be less than the maximum.

brizzledrizzle Thank you for the link!! I can stop worrying about falling asleep now.

Aquamarine1029 No need for that attitude. Taking too much of certain medications is quite serious.

You won't die.

I have done the same in the past, and all that happened was I just felt a bit hungover the next day.

I have trouble sleeping too, I was recommended to listen to the honest guys on YouTube. It's a game changer for me - pop in heads phones, listen, fall asleep? Wake up 2 hours later and repeat I've left my headphones downstairs or I would be listening now! Please try it and let me know how you get on

I’ve also just done this. Scared to fall asleep now because usually I only take one and it never works..
