    Trying to identify 5 different unknown medications
    Hi, my best friends mother passed away from an overdose of medications combined with pneumonia. She is desperately trying to figure out what she was taking (as she was taking an exorbant amount), so any help identifying the following would be appreciated. I have tried to identify in pharmaceutical books according to photos to no avail.

    (1) long rectangular shaped, pale pinkish in color, with an indent in the middle (on the top and bottom) and it looks as though it is divided by 3 lines. One side shows BL in the far let and right squares, the other side shows 50 in each square.

    (2) Yellow (not bright) in color, capsule - APO 300 in grey writing

    (3) Looks like a yellow house or pentagon shaped pill, with NOVO on one side, and 10 on the other.

    (4) Perfectly oval, small, white. Divided by a line in the middle (only on one side). It says on each side of the line N and 2.

    (5) Capsule which is burgendy red and cyan blue. The blue side has TZ30 written on it in grey and the red side has the funny-shaped arrow (almost looks like a squished pac-man character) in grey on it.

    Any help on any of these would be appreciated, thanks.

    You can go to Prescription Drug Information, Side Effects, Interactions - Drugs.com they have a pill identifier on the upper right hand side. If this does not work, you can take the pills to your local pharmacist/chemist and have them identified.

    Has your friend requested a toxicology report on her mom? This will also tell what drugs were in her system at the time of death.

    The fist one is SOMA, a strong pain reliever, I had a neighbour who took these after a car accident, if it has 4 50's marked on it, it is 200 mg, very high dose and pottentially very dangerous if your not on prescription for it.
    Soma Drug Information

    #2 is an anti-depressant check the lick below
    paroxetine Consumer Drug Information

    The rest I can't find, they could be generic brands and if so would be almost impossible to identify without taking to a pharmacy
