It is all very dependant on what type of asprin you're taking and your size.

Do you mind my asking why you are looking for this information? If you feel like you are going to do something to seriously hurt or kill yourself you need to talk to someone or go get help right away.

I hope you are okay.

They are the dissovable ones, I have already taken them and paracetomal, i have been low for the past 6 days i tried ringing my mental health team but there not in. , i have done it before but all i did was feel sicky and tired? is there really any need to go to hospital?

Yes there is need to go to hospital. I don't think we can say if its lethal or not, but anything over the reccomended dose on the packet means you should got to A&E NOW. Call an ambulance if you have no other way of getting there. They will sort everything out and you will probably have to talk to an on-duty psych.

i just read the label and i noticed the exp date was dec 08, does that make a diffierence?

rockaroni · 20-03-2010, 05:26 PM

I don't know, only an FAA would be qualified to tell you. Regardless, you need to get yourself to hospital ASAP. Please.

I definitely agree with rockaroni.
You need to get checked out. I know how hard it is to go in and admit that you need help. You can really mess up you kidneys and liver taking that much medicine. Trust me, it's not fun. You should go in and at least get looked at, better to be safe than sorry!

what_the? · 20-03-2010, 05:27 PM

I don't know about the date making a difference, but any OD needs to be checked out. Get yourself to A&E.

I'm sorry you felt you had to do this.
just as a side note, please don't post numbers or what it was.

I hope you get some help

Taking expired medicine is a big no-no especially in excess. You really need to go to the hospital.
Please go, you don't want to wait it out with this one. It's a lot better to just go in

i realised it takes guts to carry on in life coping with the problems in your head, not the other way round

Calamity · 20-03-2010, 05:34 PM

ill go

rockaroni · 20-03-2010, 05:35 PM

Yes, yes it does. And you have that guts, you can go to A&E and carry on living.

Edit: thank you for going. I hope it all goes well x

Calamity · 20-03-2010, 05:36 PM
