Brief Answer: Consult to emergency service. Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query. A lethal dose of valium is between 720 mg/kg and 1, 240 mg/kg. It is not usually fatal when taken alone but taking it with alcohol, opiates or other depressants may cause death. Symptoms of an overdose include mental confusion, drowsiness, hypotension, impaired motor functions and possibly coma. Lethal dose of tramadol is 1000mg and at high dose chances of seizure is high. Zopiclone lethal dose is 150mg. In your case, i would suggest that you should rush to emergency set up for further management to avoid any complication like respiratory depression or seizure. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Regards Dr. Abhishek Kapoor Psychiatrist
