All overdoses are dangerous no matter how much you have taken
It can affect your liver and other organs
Please seek medical help asap

Look up the number for your local poison control centre. phone them and they will advise you. That is the only thing we can tell you to do if you won't go to hospital.

Any overdose needs medical assessment, that means your GP or out of hours, A and E.

If you were sure you'd be fine, you wouldn't have posted. There is no 'safe' overdose; you need to see someone; go to hospital.

Any OD is serious.
I was once sat in the waiting room of my gp and could hear snippets of a phone conversation with the receptionist. The gist of which was someone had accidentally two doses of their medication in close succession, they were put through to the first doctor that came available. I repeat any OD is serious
Get checked out.

If you self harm be prepared for the consequences, all overdoses are dangerous.

Please, do us all a favor - If you post here asking for help, take the advice you are given.

As you have taken an OD the advised course of action is to go to your GP (local Dr) or Accident & Emergency (A&E/ER) and seek help there. You can pm a First Aider if you want to discuss amounts et al - but they will most likely tell you the same thing.

Do not then brush it aside and say you may well be fine. If that was the case, you had no reason to start the thread.

Go get help. Then come back & let us know how you got on.
