My dad has baclofen, and last night I was just went a little crazy. I've been depressed for almost 2 years now and some nights I just can't deal. well, before consuming the drugs, I looked up if you could die of an overdose on baclofen, and everything I read said no. so I decided to take a few (just to see what would happen) I took 5. they're 10 mg each, so 50mg all together. Last night was fine, I guess, I just went to went to bed in a deep sleep. but I'm not sure if that was the drugs or just because I was so distressed. Anyway, I woke up today feeling TERRIBLE. I'm dizzy, lightheaded, and I keep feeling like I need to throw up but when I run to the toilet, I can't. I would suppose it kinda feels like a hangover (I wouldn't know) I just would like to know if there is anything I could/should do?? remedies? ideas? idk! anything.

btw my mom is here but I haven't told her because I don't want to worry her. But if I need to tell her, I can.

NEVER take tablets that are not yours,its stupid no matter whats going on at home.If you continue to feel as you do there will be no choice to tell some one as youll need to seek medical help.Just looked it up as i didnt know what these tablets were for,and when you read here what they are meant for,why would any one who isnt meant to have them take any .You should NEVER take pills not meant for you and given by a doctor...Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent.



Baclofen is used to treat muscle symptoms caused by multiple sclerosis, including spasm, pain, and stiffness.

Important information



Baclofen may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of baclofen. Do not use baclofen at a time when muscle tone is needed to assure safe balance and movement for certain activities. In some situations, it may endanger your physical

safety to be in a state of reduced muscle tone.You may have withdrawal symptoms such as seizures or hallucinations, when you stop using baclofen after using it over a long period of time.

Do not stop using baclofen without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. Using baclofen may increase your risk of developing an ovarian cyst. Talk with your doctor about your specific risk.

Before taking this medicine



You should not use baclofen if you are allergic to it.



To make sure you can safely take baclofen, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:



kidney disease;

They will wear off and you will then be back to normal. I wouldn't go trying out medication that is not prescribed for you in future.
