What will start if someone took 8 pills of amitriptyline?
My mother-in-law's ex-husband "claims" he took 8 pills of amitriptyline to kill himself all b/c she don't love him. But anyhow what could happen if he really did pinch the pills? btw:he's overweight,has bipolar,and is homeless living in the shelter.
Answers:
I doubt he really took 8 of them. He wouldnt be awake to talk something like it.

Amitriptyline hydrochloride (other names Amitriptyline Elavil, Endep) is a type of prescription prescription called a tricyclic antidepressant. Amitriptyline hydrochloride overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the common or recommended amount of this medication.and yes it can be a serious overdose she may need her stomach pumped at the emergency room especially if she combo mixed with other drugs
If you have an exposure, you should send for your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-8OO-222-1222. sounds like he is in great need of counseling conceivably report his intentions to the shelter so he can get help
i would think he would get very sick
