They aren't saying it was an accident, so likely more than one dose worth.Umm I read that article a few times..
So PROZAC and BENADRYL are toxic taken together???

Both medications have a very wide therapeutic index, which is basically the difference between effective dose and toxic dose.They aren't saying it was an accident, so likely more than one dose worth
Layman's terms?Signs of severe toxicity of benadryl overdose — Effects on the central nervous system (CNS) are associated with more severe anticholinergic toxicity. These CNS effects may include anxiety, agitation, dysarthria, confusion, disorientation, visual hallucinations, bizarre behavior, delirium, psychosis (usually paranoia), coma, and seizures. Central effects often develop concomitantly with peripheral effects (described below) but may persist or manifest after peripheral effects resolve. Patients with CNS toxicity require closer observation and more aggressive care. (See 'Management' below.)
Fluoxetine has been available longer than the other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and many studies and reports exist supporting its safety in overdose [12,17-20]. Approximately half of fluoxetine ingestions remain asymptomatic, while the most frequently reported symptoms are nausea, vomiting, somnolence, tremor, agitation, and tachycardia. Most symptoms are benign and resolve quickly. Serious toxicity, such as dysrhythmias, seizures, central nervous system (CNS) depression, and respiratory arrest, is rare but can occur, especially when coingestants such as ethanol are present [12,19]. Serious toxicity is typically attributed to the coingestant and not to fluoxetine.
It’s possible for Prozac to be fatal as several of the effects at high enough levels can lead to death, but unlikely. I found a few medical articles on isolated overdoses of just it requiring intensive treatment, but were also into the 50-100 pill range.Layman's terms?
I think I got the Benadryl could kill you but the Prozac probably not.
The simple answer is that language makes it possible to convince people they are things that don't actually exist except in thought and imagination. The enemy is in our heads and nowhere else.It’s possible for Prozac to be fatal as several of the effects at high enough levels can lead to death, but unlikely.

But looking at the serious toxic effects listed : Dysrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms, which depending on underlying health and which rhythm/severity could lead to death, seizures though rarely fatal can be if prolonged and untreated or they cause secondary trauma like falls, accidents, drownings, and obviously respiratory arrest- ceasing to breathe can be fatal.
It’s possible they had a very high, but a little less than what would usually be fatal level of diphenhydramine, but also similarly high level of fluoxetine. Both of which overlap on some cardiac and nervous system toxicity, and the medical examiner is unable to determine which medication actually caused death.
All of that information gives a little insight in how they might have died, but little into the tragedy of why a teenager is dead.
It's that same language that convinces people that these don't exist and aren't real, when the reality is far more complex. Thanks for trying to dilute my intersex condition as being in my head.The simple answer is that language makes it possible to convince people they are things that don't actually exist except in thought and imagination.

I’m afraid that your assumption that what I said implied that was all in your head. I know for a fact it was not in mine and therefore not real.It's that same language that convinces people that these don't exist and aren't real, when the reality is far more complex.

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm - I'm not sure why you are wanting to go all philosophical. Written language has its strengths and weaknesses. Always has. Inflection, tone, sarcasm are not written communication's strengths. Consequently, I am left to interpret your prior statement based on the available context provided to me in the prior statement. I will add, I have recently been verbally harassed and threatened. We just helped another transgender individual who was physically assaulted. I've previously helped someone who was sex trafficked. I've just had a wonderful talk with someone who experienced a conversation where death threats and torture for transgender individuals was encouraged. I am being attacked for doing nothing wrong! There's lots of flowery language I can use, but I am in a very visible position as part of my job and overall influence. Maybe you had better intentions. Sorry, if I misinterpreted them.I’m afraid that your assumption that what I said implied that was all in your head. I know for a fact it was not in mine and therefore not real.
And why would you use the term intersex condition since that which is real is not conditioned on anything; it is what it is.
Think about that please. I do know why you did so. We use language to communicate. The words we use are not the thing itself but like fingers pointing at the moon. The finger is not the moon and intersex condition points for you one place and for me to whatever bullshit I may have acquired from all the times I was exposed to what the words trigger.
You live in a world full of sick people, self haters looking for anybody they can find with some difference about them they cam use to cry ‘inferior’ and put you down so they can pretend to themselves their stupid normal is better. If you give substance to the concept of inferior and superior, notions carried by language, and add to that self identification as either one of them, you buy into the disease.
Your job then becomes letting go of value judgment, seeing yourself absent identification with anything as conscious awareness equals oneness of being, you and the universe one and the same thing.
Then and only they in that place beyond judgment, where thought and time do not exist, what I or anybody else has in their own heads will not touch you at all.
The human brain is wired to detect patterns. If all a person ever hears is abuse it becomes what one expects to hear. My intention is to point out to others that this process can become our own worst enemy. All that is needed is to buy into the notion that good and evil and the notions about them are created by language memory and thought. Certainty of vision, insight into this fact provides an avenue to freedom. The finger of accusation directed at you is not you when the duality made possible by language is left behind. You, in my opinion, like all other human beings, are a creation of the image of God which is what we are meant to become. You are not alone and you are loved. It's just very hard to remember that fact.Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm - I'm not sure why you are wanting to go all philosophical. Written language has its strengths and weaknesses. Always has.

Great point. Anyways, how can I get a free iPad?It's a reminder that we need to stay safe both online and offline, and avoid putting ourselves in harmful situations.
