Symptoms of overdose can be similar to the medication’s side effects but are usually more severe. An overdose of either opioid or non-narcotic analgesics is potentially life-threatening. Patients exhibiting any of these symptoms should contact their physician immediately:

• Cold, clammy skin
• Confusion
• Convulsions (seizures)
• Hearing loss, ringing or buzzing in the ears or ear pain
• Low blood pressure (hypotension)
• Severe anxiety, nervousness or restlessness
• Severe dizziness
• Severe drowsiness
• Severe weakness or fatigue
• Shortness of breath or breathing problems
