I went through this a couple of years ago with a friend (massive Tylenol overdose). She was also over 10 hours before receiving medical care... she made it through even though the doctors were very guarded. It's heart-breaking beyond words to have to wait out. But trust that the people at the hospital are doing everything they can - especially when dealing with someone so young. You are both in my thoughts and prayers...

I am so sorry to hear of your tragedy. I wish I could offer some advice, but I simply have none. Hopefully someone will come on with some info. I believe you can get to a forum on this site and ask one of their doctors. Try going to top right corner of page, and type in tylenol overdose. May help. Best of luck to you

Im sure they tried to pump her stomach to get rid of undissolved pills. But the hospital is top notch when dealing with overdoses. Ill put her in my prayers and i cant imagine how helpless everyone must feel right now. All we can do is pray.
