*hugs*

I think the best thing to do (and I know how scary this is to do) but to go to the ER or A and E....

they will be the only ones that could undo the effects that the OD could cause.

Hope your ok

You need to speak to a&e or your gp and be honest with them about how much you took, of both the tablets and the alcohol.

They will most likely want to check your blood levels to make sure there are no lasting effects and see if your body has metabolised them all. If you still have effects, they can then recommend the best treatment.

This medication can cause liver damage as can the alcohol. it owuld be a good idea to get checked out to make sure there is no long term damage.
