Is a handful of Lexotan about a dozen, going to have any advers effects ? just grabbed a handful of the closest thing. cant stand the noise anymore
I’d be on my way to hospital if this is true

In lower doses Lexotan selectively decreases the sense of tension and uneasiness. In high doses the preparation exerts sedative and myorelaxive effects.[/quote]
I would say that 12 of any pill is a high dose.
Overdose
An individual who has consumed too much diazepam will display one or more of the following symptoms:
* Somnolence/difficulty staying awake
* Mental confusion
* Hypotension
* Impaired motor functions
o Impaired reflexes
o Impaired coordination
o Impaired balance
o Dizziness
* Coma
Although not usually fatal when taken alone, a diazepam overdose is considered a medical emergency and generally requires the immediate attention of medical personnel. The antidote for an overdose of diazepam (or any other benzodiazepine) is flumazenil (Anexate®). This drug is only used in cases with severe respiratory depression or cardiovascular complications. Because flumazenil is a short-acting drug and the effects of diazepam can last for days, several doses of flumazenil may be necessary. Artificial respiration and stabilization of cardiovascular functions may also be necessary. Although not routinely indicated, activated charcoal can be used for decontamination of the stomach following a diazepam overdose. Emesis is contraindicated. Dialysis is minimally effective. Hypotension may be treated with levarterenol or metaraminol.
The oral LD50 (lethal dose in 50% of the population) of diazepam is 720mg/kg in mice and 1240mg/kg in rats. D. J. Greenblatt and colleagues reported in 1978 on two patients who had taken 2000 and 500 mg of diazepam, respectively, went into moderately deep comas, and were discharged within 48 hours without having experienced important complications in spite of having high concentrations of diazepam and its metabolites—desmethyldiazepam, oxazepam, and temazepam—according to samples taken in the hospital and as follow-up.
Overdoses of diazepam with alcohol and/or other depressants may be fatal.
Sounds like you might need some professional help. What city are you in?
1200 mg of Lexotan? That’s like 2000+mg of diazepam. Don’t expect an answer until sometime tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. 
Probably asleep, right?

Hopefully that’s all it is. Long’s he hasn’t swallowed his tongue.
Should be okay if that’s all they took, ie, not loads of grog, and absolutely no opiates. Factor in a degree of tolerance, as suggested by the use of the drug name - as if we would know - and who knows?
This needs clarification
Does anyone know this person? Know someone that does? Know some way of finding out if they are okay? Can get someone onto it that can sort this out?
HG
Now, time for som outing.
HGC has a past in a western coutry’s health service, and yes, someone should check up on that guy.
Hang on.
[quote=“Francis Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2004 10:01 am Post subject: How do you cope with being here ?”]How do all your long-timers cope with knowing you’ll spend the rest of your life live living here ? I don’t think I can handle it any more, I have a job I hate, but no career, never had a pay raise in the decade I’ve been here, only a pay cut. I don’t have what you can call a life. I don’t speak Chinese, I don’t have the time, besides, noone else speaks it anymore. If I went back home, I’m sure I could carve out some sort of career and life for myself, at least I can speak the language and people don’t try to kill me on a daily basis and I do have some rights. But that’s not an option with an option with a wife (who is the sole reason I’m here) who doesn’t want to live there. And I don’t want to hurt anyone, and we get along ok, but not brilliantly, not like everyone here who talks about their perfect marriage.
I’m on medication just to lower the stress of just being here, and sleep is impossible without pills. I don’t need any pills when I back home (this place can never be home)
The only feasible way out I can see is to take a month of pills at once, then it will all go away, I can’t handle living here for the rest of my life.

If there is any way of finding this person, I dunno, kick them?
HG
I think we all need to relax.
Take a pill?
HG
Well, I think francis is out. I don’t like muscle relaxants. I took one for my back years ago and I went floopy in about 15 minutes. Flock that.
Yeah, that can happen.
HG
Yeah, that can happen.

But your wife said it was no big deal, right?

Try the Center community.com.tw/
It’s a not for profit centre for foreigners in Taiwan and offers counselling.
“If you are experiencing personal, family or relationship difficulties, please call The Center to consult with one of our counselors. *Counseling fees are set on a sliding scale, depending on each person’s ability to pay.”
Now hopefully they won’t just give you a handful of edibles.
Good luck.
