over dosed...and shamed.

yesterday when i got home from school i was so depressed and just i dont know i was so sad. i cried so much i mean it wasnt like me! the next morning i was still very depressed and before i went to school i downed 5 tylenols(sp?) i went to school and i was tired one minute then hyper the next it was wierd. it's now almost 9 pm...is it safe to go to sleep?i'm so ashamed of myself...

tylenol can do that...but 5 isnt really "over dosing" in my opinion. i take at least 3 or 4 just to get rid of a head ache so isnt not like you put yourself in danger or anything. people take 20 and up of different kinds of medicine like cough or cold medicines just to get a good feeling from it so 5 tylenols ??? dont worry about that. im not saying to do it or anything just saying you wouldnt have harmed yourself

whoa, wait a minute, 5 isn't overdosing?? don't forget that different people have a different stomach. you're only supposed to take *2* tylanol at a time if you are 12 and older. by the way, suicide by means of pills? if someone finds you before you stop kicken they'll pump your stomach. I don't imagin that's a good experiance.

id say it was safe to go to sleep,I dont think 5 would have really done anything, but obviously if you start feeling really ill then contact your doctor as soon as possible. If you're only meant to have two then technically its overdosing. Maybe you should speak to your doc anyway about how bad you were feeling? it really sounds like you could do with some help? xxxx

you've been pumped?

You took 5 tylenol and you're afraid? Of what exactly? I honestly don't think 5 is bad. Hell I take 3 and 4 when I have bad aches and pains. Let it be known that I am not saying you should pop 5 or more -- just saying it probably isn't as bad as you think.

I've heard that tylenol is the only asprin like medicine that you can't be revived from should you overdose. Not sure about the truth in that however, it did come from a reliable source. My sister was in medical school for a while. Don't know though -- you all should research the affects and possibilities before you start popping these pills.

I can't even fathom what could be so bad in life that would make one do that to themselves. My suggestion would be -- seek professional help. And don't do that anymore!

on my birthday this girl i knew,her best friend suicided with pills.

ON MY BIRTHDAY!

aw thats sad:'(...sorry bout that.
yeh i totally agree with natalie..(great advice btw:P)you shouldn't do that again..
hope you feel ok oxox

My best friend attempted to overdose on tylenol. She took the entire bottle. I took her to the hospital and the doctors said at best taking tylenol would eventually shut her liver down. But it would take a long time and many bottles of tylenol to achieve that. They did go ahead and pump her stomach just to ensure that her liver wasn't affected. Needless to say she learned her lesson real quick. It was horrible. She also had to keep down an entire cup of charcoal before they would let her go home....it was gross!

My cousin tried that before too.... Her sister brought her to the hospital and they pumped her stomach .... I think it really scared her and believe me she had never tried it again ...

Is it weird that all those things about taking the whole bottle seem very appealing to me right now..

I guess I'm in a sad mood

5 isnt a big deal my friends have taken 32 before that was something they couldnt do anything they couldnt move just lied there and thew up felt dead... i've taken 7 before because of cramps and didnt feel ashamed dont worry, cry but tylenol or suicide isnt the best solution perhaps you tried to do it so you could feel alive feel fear of death (you didnt want to die) but u wanted to feel close to death so you know that you are still living and not slowly dying ... don't worry about it

I did the exact same thing about a year ago...The night before school i took 10 paracetamol...The next day first i felt fine but as soon as it got to the afternoon i got severe headaches and was violently sick all day and all night
...Dont be ashamed
Just live your life to the fullest...I realised that really didnt help me in anyway
If you ever need to talk P.M me and we can chat :)
good luck

5??!?!?! tht isnt enough to do anything serious, but its still bad so dont do it again!!!!!

Yeah five isn't a big deal. Tylonal (sp) can't do too much when you OD anyway, trust me I have tried. You can get sick, but I really can't hurt you too much more than that. I am on doctor's orders to take 4 ever 4 hours when I have cramps, so I think you are safe sweet. It is not a good idea to OD that is for sure, and you should talk to someone about how you were feeling that way, but besides that you are okay. Don't punish yourself for the past. What you did bothered you which is good, so that should encourage you to not do it again. Love ya hunny!

did u take them with alcohol...?

never try that again, you're lucky that you didn't understand what it would take for them to have serious effect. if you really feel that bad go to your gp or tell someone you trust about it, or write someone a letter, that can always help.
