What do you suggest for being groggy and suicidal?
human
My mother in law is bipolar. She took 70 mg Nitrazadone in one dose last night. She has taken this in addition to Lorazepam (up to 10mg). We are in BC and she is in Ontario; she is with her husband. She has had one unsuccessful suicide attempt 9 years ago. We thing she should go to ER. She is very groggy, and on the phone she said my family is better off without me . My father in law does not even want to report this to a doctor.

Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.There should be no second thought and they should go to the ER and get admitted for cardiac monitoring. Nitrazodone can cause QT prolongation and can lead to arrhythmia. The cardiac status needs monitoring. He should take her to ER. Try to convince him regarding this. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
