Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

5 tablets of 10mg zolfresh is 5 times that of prescribed dose and it can cause intoxication. Fortunately unlike the typical benzodiazepines, zolfresh is safe. But still these medicines may cause excessive somnolence, giddiness and inncertain cases delirium. In some circumstances it has also interfered with the cardiac conduction. So it should be safe to visit a ER and get admitted under observation until the effect of medicines wanes of. Ones the effect goes of, there is no problem. Do not drive by yourself after taking these medications.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
