Yes, over-the-counter analgesics can be quite dangerous. They can cause serious damage to the liver when taken in large doses and they can be lethal. It is always judicious to take possession of prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, household chemicals, etc. when a person is recovering from a suicide attempt.
