Brief Answer:
I think you should call for help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns about overdose.

In my opinion 100 tablet of methadone and valium is too much for an average person and there is definite need for calling emergency helpline.

I understand he is sleeping with banging snore but it does not mean that he has not taken any excessive medication.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
