Hi,

Yes, that's too much. The peak effect is variable too. It is a long acting drug so the problems might come hours after taking. Elevated blood pressure and pulse are the main ones and these can be monitored. Cannot say in your particular case if there is need for hospitalization but generally observation for a few hours would be advised. Non-medical use of a medicine is one of the more reliable indicators of addiction, by the way.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
