Accidental Overdose
Q:
"What would happen if I accidentally took two of my long-acting stimulant capsules within four hours?"
A:
You might develop a headache or a rapid pulse, or feel irritable or emotionally upset for several hours - or you might notice nothing different. If this ever happens, alert your doctor right away. He might want you to come in so he can check your blood pressure or heart rate.
