I think my friend may have overdosed on diltiazem. Said something about taking 4400 mgs of an extended release form. Is his life in danger?!?!?!

    What happens if I overdose?

    Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of diltiazem can be fatal.

    Overdose symptoms may include slow heartbeat, weakness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting.
