Brief Answer:
No possibility of death or other adverse event

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

You have taken more 30 mg roxicodone than prescribed. Other medicines have been taken same as you take routinely.
Patient who is taking roxicodone regularly and tolerant can tolerate more dose without any significant problem. You may have some sedation or dizziness for 6-8 hours so do not drive or work with heavy machines.

No possibility of death or other adverse events are there.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr Chintan Solanki.
