Hello. I hope you've made it to a hospital by now. But if you're reading this later, I wanted to share some thoughts.

I'm going to assume that you've overdosed on purpose. As you are taking Pristiq I assume you suffer from clinical depression.

From reading your post, I understand you clearly don't want to die. Which is good. It's a shame you had to overdose on Pristiq to understand this, but if you are reading this, you are very lucky and it wasn't too late. Far too many have regretted their choice but unfortunately it was too late. Luckily you are not one of them.

Overdosing is a cry for help, but you can get help without overdosing. Depression is very treatable and when you recover, you will not understand how you could be thinking the way you did. You're going to be OK.

But again, if you haven't called 911 or visited a hospital yet, please do so.

Visit a hospital or call 911 immediately!

I have nothing more to add.
