How far apart were the two doses you took?

About 30 minutes

How long ago?

jenniferec1 · Sep 8, 2009, 09:05 PM

The first one 45 min. To an hour ago, so the second one 15 or 30 minutes ago

Time to go to the ER. You need to have this monitored as it can be life threatening.

I called the Emergency Room and they told me to call Poison Control. When I called Poison Control, they said that 100mg shouldn't be a problem. Should I go to the emergency room anyway? Thank you so much for helping me by the way.
