Activated Charcoal
 

Does anyone know if / where you can buy activated charcoal?

I av had this in hospital before. I heard it can be bought from some chemists, is this true.

Could really do with some pretty soon

you can buy it online...



but, I would really really really advise that if you in the situration where you may need it that you go to hospital

Yeah waiting for it to be delivered by post could be too late and it would be better if you were monitored by professionals while and after taking it. I think you should go to the hospital too.

do u think bbq charcoal would av pretty much the same effect

It's kind of the same stuff.

Cant be doing hospitals

no! It really wouldn't and it could be dangerous or just really unpleasant. What have you taken?
Feel free to PM me.
Is there any chance you can make yourself sick.

I'v been a bit sick but can't get pills back. Makes me wanna take more, i no that's not a great idea.

Taken a bit of all sorts. Including the usual culprits, u kno the one i mean, the cheap ova th counter stuff

think i've left it too long for activated charcoal,

think u'v gotta av it within a couple of hrs

Even so, their are other ways of you being treated so that the levels of the medication you took are out of your system. I think it would be better for you to go to A&E than end up with organ failure plus you will have the chance to speak to someone after you are physically treated about what made you feel you had to do it.
Please go, it really is the wisest option.

don't go near bbq charcoal, it wouldnt not be prepared in the same way, likely uses chemicals not safe for consumption and could have stuff to help it light in it.

go to the hospital there may be something they can do still, at the least they could check internal organs for damage and set a plan to see you again in a few weeks to repeat those tests. also they might be able to put you in touch with someone to talk to, help to prevent this happening in future.

Hi.im really concerned about this thread and what you may have done and also notice that you have now gone offline.i hope thats to get help somehow.im sorry you have felt so bad you have felt the need to do this.Please do not try and treat yourself - you may cause further damage.i know it can be so hard after an OD but it really desperately sounds like you need to be in a hospital under proper medical supervision.Please get yourself some help.i know i dont know you well but still id like to get to know you and would hate to see anything happen to you too as im sure we all would.i know its hard but please go to the hospital.And let us know how you are when you can.i hope that you get both the medical and emotional support you need there.Be brave and please try and take care too.

Hi honey, I agree with everyone here - you should go to hospital if you can. It will be better for you in the long run. <3 You can get both physical and emotional help there - and feel free to PM me and talk whenever you like <3 xxxx

DO NOT take bbq charcoal its full of nasty stuff.
It is also not a good idea to buy your own activated charcoal as it should be carrfefully monitored when you use such stuff.
You should get an emergency appointment with your doctor who can arrange for blood tests or you should go to a&e who can make sure there is no long term damage from the OD you took.
