im a little worried...
 
Hi, im not sure what else to do.....

i know it was really stupid of me but i did it anyway and i cant take it back.
since sunday night- its now tuesday evening- i have taken a big amount of tablets and more than the set doages of [another medication].

i kinda figured this was not a good thing and googled it, apparently this was not a good thing and could cause damage- what am i to do as its been over 24 hours....at the moment i have a sore throat, been sick feeling all day, had a severe headache and have been very exhausted. any suggestions would be helpful.

get medical help. i'm pretty sure that even after 24 hours the antidote works

really? like what if i say to doctor tomorrow? can they do much?

tamobhuuta 18-08-2009 01:18 PM

don't wait until tomorrow. i don't know exactly how long you've 'got' but with all these things, it's a case of the sooner the better

finding.my.wings 18-08-2009 01:23 PM

um its kinda bad timing- its 12:30am here.
i have a doctors appointment at 10:30 in the morning.

oh right, i forget about the time difference. well A&E/ER are always open, and i reckon 24 hours is more than long enough to leave it already. the active ingredients can take a while to damage your system, so even if you're not throwing up or anything, you should still get help.

As you're still seeing the affects of it then you do need to get checked out and sooner rather than later. I'd definately mention it to the doctor if you haven't already gone to A&E and see what they say; it depends how many you took and what they find when they examine you as to what they will do but as said other effects can be seen later with what you have taken so that is always a risk and once these are seen then there is little that can be done.

It's worthwhile getting checked out ASAP whenever you take an OD (which is anything over your prescribed (in case of OTC tablets that's the dose that's on the package) daily dose of a med) and then they are in the best position to help and reduce the risks of later/ long-term complications as a result.

Thats really good.

I'm glad you were able to discuss it with your doctor and have it checked out.
