Drug overdose?

My wife has a legal RX for generic Soma. She gets 90 every 30 days and has taken as many as 10 in 24 hours! What should I do?

Female | 62 years old
Medications: tramadol, trazodone

To whom it may concern, The best advise I could give you is that she needs rehabilitation of some sort. By all means this is not her fault. I cant believe that she was prescribed this amount to begin with and not monitored more closely. This medication is highly addictive and should be monitored very carefully by the prescriber. I hope this helps. Kind regards. Thank you, Randi.

It is a wise and appropriate concern. The prescribing physician must be involved with her overuse. Overuse is dangerous.
