Alyssa Watrous picked up her prescription for her medication at a CVS Pharmacy in Southington, Connecticut,She soon started feeling unwell and started experiencing side effects including nausea, weakness, dizziness and a pounding headache, her mom Jill Watrous said. It was only after she had been taking the pills for two days that Alyssa realized there had been a mix-up with the medication.Not only had Alyssa Watrous been taking the wrong medication, she had been taking a lot more of it than is usually prescribed. Only one pill a day is commonly advised for adults taking the blood pressure medication she had, but she had been taking three at a time because she was following the directions for her asthma medication.
Jill Watrous called CVS and Poison Control and was advised to go to the emergency room as Alyssa Watrous had technically overdosed on the blood pressure pills. Doctors told Alyssa Watrous she had arrived just in time to avoid serious issues, WFSB reported. "They said thank goodness, there wouldn't be any long-term effects, that it's something that will leave your system," Alyssa Watrous told WFSB.
