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.

Male and estradiol
Very little, and it'll be out of his system within a few weeks. Unless he no longer has his gonads, the testosterone produced by them will by far exceed the estrogens, and thus there will be absolutely no difference, except for a slightly higher risk of blood clotting while he was on them. By now, assuming he's stopped on August 3 or earlier, it's totally out of his system.

Males also have estrogens, some with higher concentrations than others. But the testosterone really lords over it and prevents it from doing anything unwanted unless a person uses what's called an anti-androgen, or testosterone blocker, such as spironolactone.

And 2 weeks really isn't enough for anything at all even if he used both, it takes over a year for anything permanent at that age. So don't worry.

Though I must say I'm curious as to how this came to be.

generic lisinopril
You may consider asking your physician if Lisinopril w/ Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) would be right for you. If you are having water retention, the HCTZ can offset that by having the kidneys get rid of excess water and salt through the urine. I have been taking Lisinopril/HCTZ combo and have not had any problems. It's been wonderful to be back to normal. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension at age 23. It was unexplainable how, but this drug has changed my life.
