Loss Of Sense Due To Taking Geodon. Overdosing Of Adderall And Concerta. Need Help
I was going through the horrific withdraw of geodon that it got so bad i lost my sense and tried to regain control but i ended up overdosing on adderall and concerta at the same time. I dont know what to do about it. its been a few hours since my last dosage of the two meds. I gave up after that. Am I okay? Im trying my hardest not to go to the er for multiple reasons. So if there is anything that can help treat it i would take it. I have more questions about what i can do to help myself at the moment

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Geodon is an antipsychotic medication, given to treat psychotic disorders and Adderral / Concerta are stimulant medication given to treat ADHD. Both are entirely different categories of medication and should not be taken interchangeably.
Since you have mentioned that you have overdosed yourself on Adderral and Concerta, I would advise you get urgent medical attention in order to prevent any dangerous / toxic effects of these medication. It is not advisable to try to self-medicate yourself, especially when you seem so distressed and agitated. So, please take the help of a relative or a friend and see a doctor at the earliest.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
