weight loss and stuff... *Numbers mentioned*
 

I sort of mini-overdosed on monday then took more yesterday. I've felt really crappy since then but haven't gone to the doctor or hospital or anything. what I wanted to ask though is it normal to not be as hungry and stuff? I weighed myself this morning just out of curiosity and I've lost like 5/6 pounds in 2 days. Obviously because of lack of food, I'm drinking a lot of water. Pretty much all I'm eating are freezies (like popsicles kinda). I know it's not exactly "safe" but I can't make myself eat. It makes me feel really sick like I'm going to throw up. I don't know what to do now. I don't think going to the hospital/doctor would do any good since it's been a long time since I first took something. I don't want to tell anyone, but I think I have too...

When i overdosed i lost my appitite too. i went to the hospital they just did observations and checked i didnt get any worse. what is there to lose by going to the hospital/doctors?
i went to hospital more than a day after i ODd.
*hugs*

When you overdose it can do damage to multiple organs in your body (the specific ones may depend on the drug) and so some drugs can cause problems with your appetite/ make you feel sick/ cause damage to your digestive system which may cause you to lose weight (it may not be totally due to you not eating as that's quite a lot for just 2 days). I'd say it probably is a good idea to get checked out because of a couple of the problems as well as totally having no appetite/ not eating is something that needs investigated. Have you got pain in your pelvis/ pain when you wee/ lower back pain? Have you got blood in your urine? Have you got pain in your tummy anywhere?

Kind of. The sides and underneath my ribcage area hurts. I tried eating some macaroni and it made my stomach hurt a lot but went away after a little while. there isn't any blood in my pee and it doesn't hurt to go. I have a huge headache too. I have to go to work soon, so I can;t really go to the doctors to get checked.

Underneath your rib cage, do you mean like towards your lowest few ribs? If you do that could be your stomach as that is situated there. This can be irritated with some ODs. If it worsens/ you start vomitting blood (especially if it is dark/ looks like 'coffee granules') get looked at straight away. It definately is a good idea to just have a check up anyway, its not urgent but its worth going sooner rather than later is a good thing so maybe if you ring up in the morning and see if you can get an appointment for tomorrow (though I'm not sure if it works like that in Canada), or maybe go after you finish work if it's open then or something if they have appointments then; at least then you'll have got it out of the way.
