Hello doctor,

I accidentally took another dose of tramadol and I am now experiencing extreme anxiousness, slurred speech, and difficulty breathing. What can I do to reverse or reduce these effects? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com..

I read your query and understand your concern.

Firstly, try not to worry too much. While the situation is concerning, the effects of an extra dose of Tramadol can diminish over time. It is important not to repeat this mistake in the future.

If you are experiencing extreme breathlessness, I strongly advise you to seek medical attention promptly. If you are unable to manage your symptoms or if they worsen, heading to a hospital might be the best course of action.

Your health is a priority, and I hope this advice helps. It would be beneficial to have further details such as test results to offer more precise guidance. Please remember that some aspects could be better addressed through a comprehensive history and examination.

Please feel free to return with any additional queries.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
