Hello,

She should be monitored carefully and do not make her sleep.

Since Restyl is a respiratory depressant and could stop breathing, the first step is to assess the the airway, breathing, and circulation and to address these rapidly as needed.

She should be observed for the following overdose symptoms: drowsiness, low blood pressure, shallow breathing, impaired motor function dizziness, impaired balance, muscle weakness, fainting or loss of consciousness.

If she develops the symptoms of overdose as listed above she should be taken immediately to the ER of the nearest hospital.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
