Nitroglycerin and systoms of overdose?
Hello,
Since this is my first post,I will try to make it short.I have read the data sheet that came with this medicine and it does talk about what happens if someone overdoses.But I am assuming they are talking about an accidental overdose of ,say,3-6 pills.But what does it do to you if someone ingested 50 or more at one time.No,it is not me.Of course everyone says that when they want to know what to expect.But it just happens to be the truth this time.I am a totally disabled Vietnam vet, with no issues bad enough for me to even think of doing something that crazy.Anyway, I have a very close friend, a Vietnam vet as well,that has some serious issues with his torn up body and no legs & with just one arm.The VA psychiatrists have been working with him almost from day one.They continue to fill him with a handful of pills everyday.I mean he has to take 24 every morning,14 at dinner,and 28 every night.But recently he has just completely given up on himself and told me he plans to take the nitroglycerin in the quantity I stated,maybe more.If I tell the VA or any civilian organization,he would disappear,forever.I have not read him the part about overdose on the data paper,yet.I am trying to scare him out of it by telling him the truth that if he did this, that this medicine would do all those things,not only for a longer period of time but worse,before they let you die.
So,any info that I can use would be greatly appreciated.Oh,the last time I ask this on another forum,last week,they somehow got my home address and sent the Sheriff out to my house,and since my friend lives in 'seeing' distance of me,it spooked him off to another location about 40 miles from me.He only let me know where he was yesterday.
Thank you.

Effects of Nortriptyline with Lamisil Tablets
I was prescribed Nortriptyline about 5 weeks ago, to assist me quitting smoking. That has been going fine at 75 mg per day.

I have also been prescribed Lamisil Tablets at 1 per day for treatment of fungal infection on my hand. The lamisil was prescribed 2 weeks after starting the Nortriptyline.

I asked the doctor if it was Ok to still take the anti-depressant, he said no problems. However I've been looking at information on Lamisil on the net tonight, and everywhere I read about lamisil, it states to tell your doctor if you are using any anti-depressants, and gives Nortriptyline as an example.

What are the risks (if any) by using both?

Thanks in advance.
