Overdose/ Self-Poisoning Question - need to PM a first aid advisor!

Can someone who is a first aid advisor reply?

I don't know as there are any online right now. You'd be better PMing them than leaving this post.

Is it anything that we can help you with?
If it is urgent I would suggest you call NHS Direct or go to A&E.

I don't think any are online :/

RYL isn't a substitute for real medical help. Given the label you've given this thread you need to go to hospital now, not wait around hoping a first aider would come online... especially given that the advice they would give in the vent of an OD is almost always go and get checked out.

I can tell you now that we are very thin on the ground with our first aid folk.

if there is an urgent situation, call nhs direct or go to hospital.

I'd say call NHS direct, although I imagine you know already that you need to go to A and E? Jodie speaks wise things, the first aiders would say go to hospital, so yeah, go!

Thanks guys. I rang NHS direct who then rang me an ambulance. I went to hospital and was given the charcoal drink and am now home. Psychiatrist appointment later about referral to a psychiatric hospital. :( i'm scared but I'll post about that in a different forum xxx
