Ha.

Here is my experience on it...

One night I got mega depressed and I felt horrible and my boyfriend didn't know why. He didn't know what was making me so upset over the phone, though I started going downhill when this small conversation happened:
Me: would you care if I cried?
him: nope
Me: would you care if I died?
Him: Not really...

And so, over the phone, I kept thinking that he really wouldn't care. Because silly me, i can't learn to discriminate sarcasm from reality. So I swallowed 25 tylenols because that was what was near me. At which my boyfriend couldn't stand to hear me cry over the phone anymore so we hung up. He texted me and told me he was sick of hurting me and he thought it was better we should break up. So, out of anger, I took several more pills. All in all, I took 39 pills. He ended up feeling bad without any prompt from me and begged for me to take him back, so I did but I couldn't erase what had happened. I told him what I did and he flipped...felt even worse and I felt even worse for MAKING him feel worse.

And if you want to know what it feels like, let me discourage you by giving you details that I will always remember and will serve as a reminder to me to NEVER do it again. Now you can't even force me to take a tylenol or any other pill...i'm sick of them and every time the thought of them comes into my head, I feel nauseous all over.

1) My head was a thousand times worse than a headache for longer too. It lasted throughout the ENTIRE night...as if someone had taken a semi-truck and went in reverse over my head then put it back in drive and drove over my skull AGAIN. It was like someone had taken a sledge hammer and beaten the CRAP out of me.

2) My stomach was bubbly and horribly on fire. My boyfriend wouldn't let me fall asleep until i threw up, but I didn't throw up until 5:30 in the morning. And when I did, I was throwing up like EVERYTHING. Blood, stomach acid, and this yellow mixturey stuff which I figured were the pills digested. And I threw up 30 minutes every hour nonstop until the end of the day. The whole time, of course, regretting my stupidity and promising myself that if I lived through this, that I would never try to kill myself again.

3) I was sooooooooooooooo incredibly sleepy. It was a stronger pull of sleep than the nightly one I get. It was something more than sleep that threatened me and my boyfriend stayed on the phone with me, all night, on a school night.

4) I couldn't stop crying, I was so emotionally drained and sick to my stomach and with the horrible head ache that never left until the following day...altogether it's a power hit combo. And I didn't die. Didn't help anything. At all. My pain was still there and my boyfriend thankfully stuck by my side.

Trust me as I've had experience. Don't do that to yourself. It's a horrible feeling...as I should have expected it to be. But it was a thousand times worse than anything i had expected...especially since I didn't go the hospital because I didn't want to confess to my parents that I got depressed again.

It.
Is.
STUPID!

ashley are you telling me that if you take pills that are prescribed to you and you overdose on them and try and kill yourself, you end up getting charged and being put in jail??? anyone know???

yea you can i wouldve have got a felony anyways even if i didnt give them to me and my friends i got in alotta trouble because its a controlled substance....law wise ur still dealin lol to urself god what an amazing country the USA is grr its stupid law but still gotta obey it...you can hand a tylenol out to a friend and get expelled at school the law is then immedietly notified it is freakin stupid

lol well sometimes i felt like i had to get out u dont have weed or alchol you can go to the cabinet and get some pills.........

that's how i got stuck on pills was my depression. it made me feel better. tabs, xanex, morphine, methadone, etc... they make reality go away

they are good for most people. they really help. but for me, it just felt like artificial happyness. cant be sad. i didnt like them.

Ummm... well yer, I've taken alot of like ibruprofen (which i dont think i can spell :S) asprin, paracitamol (need to get a dictionary!) and once some really strong antibiotics before when i was feeling really bad. It started off as just slightly overdosing on weak painkillers but im doing it more and more. If you are thinking of doing it i would stronly advise you not to because it's really bad for you and doesnt solve any problems... sometimes it does temporerily help me feel a little better and hyper but its not good for you and once it wears off the problems are still there. Also the morer you use them the less affect they have on you so you have to take more and more each time, and with things like that if you largely overdose they can be really bad for you. That also meens if you are ill or something they dont work.

I've taken 32 extra strength tylenols once just to try and knock myself out. Just remember staying up feeling terrible. Tasting the stuff at the back of my throat. Its not the best feeling in the world and it doesn't really help any.

I took like 2 big bottles of Tyenol. And yeah I was rushed to the hospital right away when my grandma found me in the bathroom. The concenquences are very dangerous and very bad. Trust me Ive gone through it and you definately dont want to do it!

it does nothing that would make you want to. it just makes you sick to your stomach.

I used to pop pills like advil alot I took at least 200
to 400 one tme though and I stooped ITS NOT FUNN I GOT REALLY SICK

If that's what you call attention seeking, then why are you even posting on this thread??
Btw, i never said ive never taken it, i was just wondering how other people felt or experienced themselves if they ever were on pills during depression. My suggestion to you is quit talking out of your butt, and putting words that were never said into someone else's business.

I take about 15 20 when im upsat just so i will get sick

o_o i am definitely not going to OD... the way you describe it is terrifying. It's amazing how OTC's can kill you just as easily.

Oh fantastic! I have some recent experience with this, makes me rather excited to share.

Just as everyone says, it is definitely not worth it. I had taken an estimate of 40 Excedrin Migraine pills. Didn't notice anything for about an hour, but after that? It sucked. All I wanted to do was fall asleep and not wake up...guess what? Excedrin has a ridiculous amount of caffeine in it, which I had failed to notice in my idiotic state of mind. Anyway, I couldn't sleep for about 36 hours with twitching muscles everywhere, finally wound up making myself throw up by drinking as much orange juice until I could get as much out as possible. Throwing up still didn't help much, just suffered through the stomach ache, and I probably screwed up my liver. So. Don't do it. :-)

i used to take actually depression pills. but nearly always i take pain killers casue crying gives me a head ache.
