Hey i am not surprised you are scared as your mood suggests.It sounds like you have taken a lot and im no First Aid person but it does sound like you could need and should definitely seek urgent medical attention.If you are in the UK you could try ringing NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 - i think thats their number or your out of hours GP service but really your best bet is the hospital.i know its not what you want to hear but i think you know its whats gonna be said.And the sooner you get help the better.i know this could be really hard for you.im not trying to be flippant or trying to make this sound easy here or anything - i really know its far from it but it does sound like you really could do with some help urgently.And time could well be of the essence especially as you took them last night and are already feeling ill.You could also PM [private message] one of the First Aid advisors on here who may be able to advise you more specifically if you like.Take care.i hope your ok or as ok as you can be right now.i dont know what else to suggest sorry.

There is really no home care you can do for an overdose. Often times either antidotes need to be given, or blood drawn to assess if you have obtained any organ damage. If you don't feel like you can face the hospital, you should contact your GP ASAP instead.
