Stadol Overdose

Stadol overdose may be likely since it belongs to a class of drugs known for abuse.

The most serious Stadol overdose symptoms include:

• Cardiovascular insufficiency
• Hypoventilation
• Coma
• Death

Stadol overdose is also reported with concomitant ingestion of various drugs.

Unintended fatal drug overdose now ranks as the second-leading cause of accidental death in the United States (according to the Center for Disease Control, 2004), compounded by concomitant use of alcohol or sedatives (CDC, 2005 report). (i)

Withdrawal symptoms suggestive of overuse include: anxiety, agitation, tremulousness, diarrhea, chills, sweats, insomnia, confusion, incoordination, and hallucinations.

Stadol Overdose, Cautions

1. Respiratory depression is the most severe and serious adverse reaction, possibly lethal, related to opioid overuse in general.
2. It is against the law to share controlled narcotic medication, like Stadol, with others.
3. This medication should not be reused later for another condition, since doctors write this prescription only for a current, specific treatment.
4. Violation of practical medical and legal guidelines for use may cause the patient to risk having a Stadol overdose.

Are You Addicted to Stadol?

Increased dosage and chronic use may indicate dependency and trigger a Stadol overdose.
Signs of Stadol drug dependency:

• You take Stadol in larger doses or more often than prescribed.
• You require more doses to achieve the same, desired effect.
• You act indifferently toward family, friends, and loved ones.
• You regret your Stadol use, but seem unable to contain it.
• You feel physically ill, when you stop taking Stadol.
• You easily loose interest in life’s activities.

Signs of an opiate drug addiction:

• You buy on the street to maintain a supply.
• You commit illegal acts to buy or use Stadol.
• Others tell you your Stadol habit is excessive.
• You juggle different doctors or emergency visits.
• You adversely influence the family, sparing yourself.
• Those who care about you express concern about your use.

The longer you wait, the harder it is to break the Stadol opiate habit. Increasing non-medical use may reach a dangerous, addictive level that risks Stadol overdose. Seek advice about Stadol overdose from your physician or a medical health care counselor for solutions.

Taking Stadol ® for pain relief and to avoid withdrawal can progress to Stadol addiction for patients with an opiate dependency. If you, or someone you know, use Stadol or other opiate-based drugs more and more, seek medical advice for detoxification now.
