Nefopam overdose?

I’ve had a rough week and had what felt like convulsions Wednesday night - felt rough all yesterday as well just quite sleepy then thought this morning I should check my doses of tablets and side effects. I’ve been taking 3 x 30mg of Nefopam instead of 2 x 30mg of Nefopam three times a day for at least 2 weeks. I’ll obv do the right dosage from today but I feel so stupid. I’m looking up all sorts to make sure I’ve not caused any real damage. Does anyone have experience of this?

Thankyou.

I cannot take nefopam as it gives me hallucinations. But it does not seem like an excessive dose you have taken. But as Bevvy says just ring your pharmacist and discuss it with him or her to put your mind at rest.

If you carry on getting seizures go to hospital, but if you think you are over the worse of it - look up the information about the drug online - if you need more info contact the GP or pharmacist. If you are on a lot of medication - would a blister pack help so this doesn't happen again?

Hi i take nefopam and my doctor at first prescribed 2 3x a day it had no effect so he then prescribed 3 3x a day and he said that was the maximum amount of nefopam you can take in a day (it worked a treat) and if you research nefopam alot of sites say the usual dosage is 2 3x a day but can be increased to 3 3x a day but that is the maximum you can take in a day, so unless you have any underlying problems then i shouldn't think you have harmed yourself, but if you are worried then speak to your doctor.Hope this helped 😊
