OD

[Hated]

Earlier today i consumed 5000mg of paracetamol.
After calming down i realized that i felt fine and it was lucky since my reasons for trying to take my own life were foolish.
However, i took a quick 2 hour nap until 9 o'clock and i felt quite normal but now i'm starting to feel really light headed and numb like - kinda drunk feeling.
Anyway, reckon am just being paranoid?

[Charlie]

I'd just see if the feeling goes, if it doesn't then I would be worried.

[Hated]

I don't think anything will happen but my friends mum had to go in hospital for taking 4000mg so it'd be abit weird if i was completely fine.

[Abbie.]

id go see a doctor if i were u, sounds dangerous

[N!ck]

Have some Paracetamol. Will make you feel better.


No, srsly, see a doctor or at least tell a parent so they know what's going on if you do pass out. That amount can in no way be healthy.

See a Doctor.
It's most likely nothing because 5000mg isn't enough to kill you, but it still needs to be checked out.
They'll most likely keep you in overnight to track your progress and if it's anything serious they will keep you in a bit longer.
Also by seeing a doctor you will get quicker help from a psychiatrist and seeing as you did this it is the best route to go down.

I OD'ed a few months ago so I'm telling you this from experience.

You may not have any problems for another 10 years, however Paracetomol is actually a toxic substance when introduced to the liver through the bloodstream. Injesting massive ammounts of it can lead to serious liver issues later on in life.

[Virgin Mary]

You should've made yourself throw up. Drink loads of water, unless you're already dead.

[Misawa]

You've seriously damaged your liver, regardless of current effects that you feel. Go to a doctor. NOW.

[Stephen08]

You don't die the same day you take a paracetamol overdose, you could die a week later, so I would go see a doctor if I was you because more than likely your liver will start to fail, along with every other organ in your body then one day in around a week you'll just drop dead.

So be really scared about it because you can't just escape from a paracetamol overdose.

[Zabuza]

How many pills was that?
Over 8 can kill you but it depends if you body can handle it or not.
See your doctor, they'll take a blood tests and you should get the results in a few days. Tell you parents what you've done, seriously your problems will get sorted.
Your not going to die, nowhere near it.
Erm you could go to hospital, they give you antidote which MUST be taken a few hours after the OD for it to work. You can get kidney and liver damage but if you've not taken more than 25 its extremely unlikely.

Oh yes you can.

It's unlikely you'll die from taking that much. 5g's isn't a lot. So, you're fortunet. I'd go to the doctors to get a blood test to check everything over, just to be sure.

This'll teach you, don't play with tablets.
Not something to be messed about with.

My friend died from an overdose, so don't go messing about with them.

[sarey]

Urg, lag. Double post. >_< Sorry.

How manys 5g
Isnt that like 2 tablets LOL

[wolfsburg]

how are you now? are you ok?

[sarey]

Nope, it's 5000mg transformed into 5g's.


1000mg = 1g.

Shorter is all. lol.

[Hollyish]

trying to kill yourself.



SELFISH.

[SugarBabyRach]

When you take an overdose most people have to go into hospital and get theyre stomachs pumped,

Id definately tell a parent or doctor

isnt that for drugs ???

anyway yeh go see a doctor. i know it may be hard to tell your parents you tried to kill yourself but if you drop down dead in a couple of days that will be even worse.

You'll probably start to feel dehydrated so drink plenty of water.
