please help

please help, I have no idea what to do
I recently took an overdose of 3600mg of aspirin and 2400mg paracetamol. Is this lethal? I'm worried about what'll happen to me.
I have taken four overdoses in the last three weeks, of iron, aspirin and paracetamol, and no lasting or serious damage has been done as far as I know.
I am severely depessed, and I recently started anti-depressants, which have made me increasingly worse.

You need to go to the hospital ASAP - you may not think you've done damage, but trying that many times, probability is high, plus you need to be safe.   Meds can take 4-6 weeks to work. The don't work over night, but you need to talk to your doctor and/or go to the hospital right away, you are obviously looking for help!

You need to go to the hospital. You may think you have'nt done any damage but you very well may have. Tell one of your parents what you've done and go to the hospital. Also, tell them at the hosptial about your antidepressants. Let us know how your doing.
