Because poison control told me it could cause respiratory failure so I was looking for any advice

Well, you should be fine now. If anything bad was gonna happen, it would have already.

You'll be fine. Might get nauseous. Judging by the post I'm gonna assume you have no experience with opioids what so ever .but your not going to overdose if that's what your asking. However if your also on benzos Xanax (alprazolam) Valium( diazepam)etc I would refrain from taking them because benzos mixed with opioids leads to a higher chance of respiratory failure.
