Overdose/ Self-Poisoning Question - Help just a little

kellysays2u · 12-07-2007, 03:03 AM

I dont think the amount of medication that i took could be really considered over dose but all of a sudden i am finding it really hard to breathe and my body is hold and hot all at the same time and my head is like spinning. I am thinking maybe its a panic attack but I dont know what to do... Could it be overdose anyways if I havent taken the medication in almost a year?

It could be panic, but it is important to get medically checked also.

As ~longing~tears~ said you should possibly go and see a doctor if you think you even may have overdosed.
Otherwise, if it is a panic attack and you are certain of that fact, then try to stay calm and lie down. Close your eyes and think of things that make you happy, put on some calming music. If there is anyone with you, tell them that you are worried and they can keep an eye on you.

Any overdose can be dangerous so I would highly suggest you go to the hospital or doctors and get checked out. Try to stay calm and take slow, steady deep breathes and get yourself checked over.

I cant go to the doctors because of my parents. I am feeling fine this morning though. Last night went ok besides the sleeping part cause i kept having extremely messed up nightmares but that is not entirely unusual. I think it was probably just a panic attack but when I am able to go to the doctors again for a different reason... maybe i will fake a really sore throat or something. I will say something to them possibly.

Thanks

it is very dangerous. ODs are extremely hard on your liver. and those symptoms sound like an overdose.

ANY ammount over the recommended amount is classed as an OD.

i think the best idea for you to do is drink plenty of water and get yourself to a hospital.You dont know what damage you have done and the sooner you do so the better.you may feel fine but you cant see inside your body and see what damage may have been done

what triggered you to OD?

You really should get checked out, you need a blood test to check your liver.

As Jane said, anytime you take more then the recommended dose it is classified as an OD. While it is possible to have an adverse reaction to a medication, if you have taken that medication before without any problems (even more then a year ago) the chance of that is slim. You should get checked out by a doctor and get a liver function test done.

Yes, it could be a panic attack but it could also be the effect of the overdose. Anything more than the recommended dose is too much and considered an 'overdose'.
Get yourself checked out love <3.
