Overdose on asprin

by nll2006, Feb 22, 2007 12:00AM
My question is this.....I'm really concerned about the health effects when overdosing on asprin. What can possibly happen while consuming too many of these pills?

One potential problem is it can severely affect your liver. I'd get seen by a doctor right away.

If you believe you have overdosed on aspirin call 911 go to an emergency room as soon as you read this post. An aspirin overdose can easily result in death. That is not to say that a few aspirins are going to cause that harm, however leave that decision to the ER physician.

I use to overdose on asprin.. taking 6 at 1 time.. is that dangerous? i did that because i was diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder and was always afraid i'd get a clot.. but now that i think about it and read how dangerous asprin can be.. yikes..

Hey Ashley.....6 asprin won't really hurt you. I wouldn't do it all the time because it is hard on your stomach and liver. If your worried about clotting...check with you Dr. and don't ask questions here. My friend has the same problem (take asprin for clotting) and take 2-3 asprin a day. Has for many year but her Dr is aware of this.  Another thing you will bruise a lot easier. Since the blood is thinner. Why are you doing this?  Who told you to take asprin? Did you OD on them on purpose?  Im not understanding everything. Bottom line sweetie check with you Dr .....NOW. Hope this helped in some way.
Keep in touch and let us know how you are....Please

your friend should be fine might be numb for a couple hours i wouldnt recomend taking anymore for a while, and throwing up can help

and 15 asprins shouldnt kill you but can be toxic on ur body! u should be fine but dont ever do it again!

personal experiance, i can go couple weeks at a time taking 4 in the night to sleep, but its having a killing on my body, i got a big bruse like 2 weeks ago if not longer and its not completely gone yet, its almost gone but still taking forever!

To: asprin overdose
It is safe to take 3 grams of asprin in a 24 hour period if your stomach will let you. The same goes for tylenol. But NEVER TAKE TYLENOL FOR A HANGOVER OR WITH ALCOHOLE. THAT CREATES A TOXIN THAT WILL POISON YOUR LIVER AND IN TIME KILL YOU.

bUT 3X 325 MG OF ASPRIN 3 TIMES A DAY IS SAFE.
I was on 10 asprin a day for 2 years due to arthritus and I am fine. I did tell my doctor ofcourse.
