I've been prescribed petril beta 10 for my anxiety, and I'm wondering if it's safe to take it regularly and for a long period. If it's not recommended, are there any other medications for anxiety besides SSRIs? I've tried escitalopram and paroxetine before, but they make me feel really sedated.

I'm really worried about my aunt and her use of sleeping pills. She's taking them every day and it's got me concerned about the risks. How much of an overdose could potentially lead to something really dangerous or even be fatal? I'm anxious to know more so I can help ensure her safety.

The amount of sleeping pills needed to cause a fatal overdose can vary depending on the specific medication. However, it is important to note that any overdose of sleeping pills can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Some common sleeping pills include Ambien (Zolpidem) and Lunesta (Eszopiclone).
