Tylenol Overdose

[ciitrusy]

A day and a half ago I tried to kill myself by drug overdose. I took 14 Tylenol PM pills (500 mg) all at once. I'm 5"7 and weigh 140lbs. About half an hour later I felt extremely dizzy and everything was blurry and I was tired and my head hurt and I wanted to throw up. But I kept myself from throwing up and I didn't fall asleep until three hours later. I slept for fourteen hours. Now my stomach hurts really badly and I've had insane head aches ever since I woke up.

My kidneys aren't shutting down are they? I did some math and stuff and I think that I was just under toxic but I'm really afraid because I don't want to die.

please see a doctor right away, tell your parents if you have to!!!...You only get one body, one life, one chance...times may get hard but they make us stronger as a person. Plus this is not a solution to a problem...plus just think how would your family would feel..these actions effect everyone around you.

you tried to kill yourself , but dont want to die..... you need to get to a doctor or tell your parents NOW!!!....seriously, so many kids think they want to kill them self cause they THINK their live is so bad, they do something like you did, get scared and then it changes them. hopefully this opened your eyes that you almost lost something that is PRECIOUS!.... life is precious. imagine how your family would feel if they found you dead in your bed because you took one to many pills??... do you care how they would feel??.... your poor parents, they  probably dont even know this is going on huh??.... just try and talk to them and get your head right....im sorry your going through this but your not alone ...

You need to see a doctor at once.  The dose you took of Tylenol could indeed be a very serious problem for your liver.

Plus, you made a very serious suicide attempt.  You need help immediately.

Please, let someone know right away what happened.  

Good luck,
Peek

Hi citrusy I am gald you were okay, perhaps you need someone to talk to , what made you want to die, maybe it was a spur of the moment decision, how about any family is there any one you can speak to about any fears ,how old are you? The head aches are from the effects of the tylenol, I expect you are over that part of it, if there is no family to talk to how about some counselling would that be possible, speak to your Doctor he will know what to do.Let us know how you are doing .
