What's going to happen now?

Question

Yesterday around 1:00pm I took 7 painkillers with a half of a bottle of beer along with cold medicine. At 2:00pm I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 7:00am today. This morning I felt horrible (dizzy, and I felt like I was going to through up.) but after I ate something I felt alright. I didn't go to the hospital. What's going to happen now?

Answer 1

Hi - nothing is going to happen, hopefully.



However, you MUST understand that taking painkillers like paracetamol in overdose form very often doesn't give you any symptoms, BUT you are in fact poisoning your liver and the damage is irreversible.



SO many people have died after necking bottles of paracetamol, and then hours later realised that they 'didn't mean it, didn't want to die'. Sadly, those people then went on and died later in hospital. It is impossible to reverse the effects of paracetamol poisoning, once they have been digested.



Drink plenty of clean fresh water, eat plenty, get to bed early.



7 painkillers are unlikely to kill you - the beer and the cold remedy have combined with the painkillers and given you a nasty bilious hangover.



Learn from this and remember what I said - painkillers KILL, in overdose, often long after the actual swallowing of them.



If you tried to overdose, consider a visit to your doctor to discuss why you did this, clearly you were unhappy about something (unless it was an accident, of course - a very dangerous accident if it was).



Good luck.

It will probably take a bit of time to leave your system and you may have spasms of wanting to vomit. Why would you do that in the first place. It sounds to me as if you are crying out for help. Why don't you seek out professional advise from a counselor. A counselor will help you deal with your issues and problems, work them out and problem solve them. Hurting yourself is not an option. Some day you are going to do something like this again and cause death or serious issues to your body that are irreversible. Get help before that time comes.

Take 7 pain pills with beer inflames the arteries which can cause serious pain in the next couple days not to mention passing out unexpectedly and vomiting, this also causes the heart to beet faster because it is trying to kill off the pain pills which higher's the chance of a heart attack by 60% i would go to the hospitle as soon as you can

Girl, you should visit kidney dialysis floor of your local hospital... Imagine life where 3-4 days x 3hrs/day, you sit in a chair, in a tiny cubicle with bunch of older people while some HUGE machine is filtering all the blood in your body. Untill the day you die.... that's one of the possible consequences of your behavior, seek help immediately, you never know how your body can react later on. You only have one body, treat it well.
