Could I overdose

I'm taking more painkillers than I need to.

I'm suffering with osteoarthritis along with anxiety and depression and I'm just wanting to sleep all the time.

Yes. You need to stick to your prescribed dose. Never go over this dosage.

Yes not only could you overdose but you could be causing rebound pain where as the medication will no longer work and have you thinking you need more and more. Call your doctor and let him know that you seem to be abusing the medication. You could very well becoming addicted to the med. It's better to stop this behavior before it escalates any further. Good Luck. Stay Safe. xx
