I am not a medical professional and I obviously don't know the dosage of people in this thread. But I'll still say no one will overdose (as in harm themself or die) by accidentally taking 2x what their body is used to.

Double dosing on ADHD meds might not kill you but it can cause anxiety attacks or even seizures. If it’s an extended release formula then you could be in for a very bad day!

Yeah, I accidentally took my sister's ADHD mddicine instead of my own once and felt so sick later that I went home during a lesson. And my sister doesn't even get a that much higher dosis than me.

Overdose (as in accidentally taking 2x what their body is used to), obviously?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's my point. It may be the medical definition, but colloquially, no one uses it like that.

Am I a joke to you?
