Any permanent effects of this?

Well, I'm pretty sure I was really manic yesterday. Me and my friend were staying in a hotel after her car had a breakdown on the side of the road and we ended up sleeping in it, then hitchhiking to town.
I wanted to get a good nights sleep despite being in a high mood, but then I got this idea that I was somehow immune to all sleeping pills, and to prove this to myself and my friend I quickly took 4 of them before she could stop me, then threatened to overdose on Tylenol if she didn't give me 4 more and proceeded to take 7 Tylenol, then 4 more sleeping pills. I then literally jumped around the hotel room and seriously was bouncing off the walls. Talked my mouth off and was laughing at everything. I then wrestled with my friend trying to force her to take one of the pills so she could be my "control" in my experiment.
I'm wondering if there's going to be any permanent damage from this? My liver function is already impaired from my last suicide attempt and I don't really want to make it worse, already get sick often enough now.
I ended up sleeping for more than 20 hours, and then my friend kept forcing me to wake up. I was dizzy, I couldn't walk, I had 0 energy, everything was spinning, my whole body ached, I had double vision, was shaking, and I had the worst nausea.  It was pretty much like having the worst hangover of my life.
I'm still dizzy and can't walk straight and it's been more than a day.
The pills were called Trazodone I think.

You should go to a doctor and get help with practicing self control.  I still do some crazy things myself due to lack of insight like in your case even though I have a lot of self control but I have a backup plan of trying to always listen to people telling me no to ideas I come up with.  It's a good idea to talk to people first about ideas like this and not do it if a few people tell you not to.

You might want to go to the doctor and explain what happened just to get everything checked out.
I have been told that liver damage is bad and it is something you do not want...the dr told me this after one of the suicide attempts i had last year. I was lucky my livers weren't damaged....
I hope you are okay♥
