Prozac Overdose?!
 

I'm really terribly sorry for this, but I need some advice. I've definitely taken much more of my medication than was intended. I've just been feeling very low recently. It's not that I want to end my life... I just want the world to stop spinning...

I've been drinking quite a bit tonight. Not enough to render me incoherent though, which is good because I need some advice... I need help, maybe some hugs? I just don't know what to do because I'm so scared. Do I wake up my parents and tell them what I've done? Should I go to the hospital?! I don't know what to do... :crying:

you should definatly go to the hospital hun, get checked out and if necessary they can pump your stomach.
please be safe

you really need to go to hospital and get checked out. I understand its a scary prospect but you really do need to get seen to *hugs*
You could also pm a first aider if there are any online, not sure if there are at the moment though.
Please let us know how you go? Thinking of you.

Hope you are okay, hun - have you been checked by a Dr or anyone yet?

I would suggest calling someone like nhs direct or seeing a Dr who will know better how dangerous the amount you have taken may be. They can also suggest the best treatment.

It may also be worth telling your Dr or therapist how low you have been feeling so they can put things in place to help stop you feeling so bad

*hugs*

I hope you are ok.

Hey hon,

I'm worried over you - could you get to see your physician or go to the ER as soon as possible? I know it's quite a while later now, but if you haven't been checked out yet, it could still help to go and get your mind put at rest. They can also help refer you onto more professional support if you aren't getting any already.

It sounds like you've been really struggling up to today, I can relate to that feeling of not wanting to die, but wanting some peace. What do you think you're trying to "escape" from? You mention that you want the world to stop spinning... is that from the alcohol or maybe from something else?

*sends cuddles* Take care, sweetie. Let us know how things go.

how are you doing?

I hope you are ok and got checked out.
Take care sweetie xx

Sorry guys. I ended up waking my parents up and going to the hospital emergency room. I don't remember a whole lot of what happened because by that time I was pretty out of it.

But I'm glad I went. My mother was extremely supportive of me and helped me talk to the hospital psychiatrist. We decided that I can no longer be taking Prozac - it's the wrong medication for me. And I found out that I can't take meds fromt the same family as Ativan - I have the unfortunate adverse effects of going nutty.

Needless to say this was my shortest time in the hospital and I don't think I had to get my stomache pumped or get a drip (like the previous two times). I was only in there for about twelve hours I think?

Anyway, thank you all for your support. *Gives everyone hugs back*

Glad that you could speak to your parents and got checked out.

Take care

really glad you got checked out. How are you feeling now?

glad you're ok *hugs*

glad you got checked out and are ok. remember it's always ok to ask for help. *hugs*

Thank you all for your support. I'm feeling better now, but I can't trust myself around sharp stuff and even my own medications. My mother is holding my meds for me, which I'm glad for. Although I know I don't want to be destructive, I feel like I need to be and that scares me.

I'm hoping that my appointment with the mental health unit won't be too far from now.

Really glad to hear you got some help, sweet :) Well done for working with your mum to keep yourself safe! I know that isn't easy, my parents are having to do it with me at the moment. But you're doing really well to try and fight these destructive feelings. I hope your appointment comes through soon too.

I'm only a PM away if ever you need a chat, hon. Stay safe.

i'm glad you went to the hospital and spoke to the psychiatrist

how are you now?

I think you've made some huge steps! The fact that you woke up your parents and are now asking them to hold your meds for you is great! It tells me that some part of you really wants to stay safe and make progress. Hopefully now things only get better! Good luck with your appointment and such, hopefully the professionals can offer you the kind of support you need right now.

Keep us updated and please stay safe.
