You need to get to a ER Or A & E asap.
Regardless of how many you took.

[Poi-sin]

But i can't. I mean then my parents would know. can't i go tomorrow?

[LouiseJennifer]

You've taken an overdose, of paracetamol, that can cause liver damage, leaving it until tomorrow, is a very dangerous idea. The sooner you get checked out, the better.

Parcematol can continue to cause damage for several days, so the sooner you go to the hospital and get checked out the better off you will be. You may feel fine, but paracematol can do extensive damage to your liver without you feeling sick until it is too late.

[LouiseJennifer]

This is serious sweetie. You really need to get checked out, asap.

Hun you need to get to A&E or your GP asap, the people above this post have a very good point! xxx

I know that the thought is daunting, but you really do need to go and get yourself checked out. I mean trust me, I left it too late when I took mine and well I am still unaware of any permanent damage that has been caused.

Please go and see someone ASAP>

Sometimes they will do staggered tests, like one every 6 hours or something so they can assess if there are changes in your liver function.

I overdosed on paracetamol
I almost died.
Often with ODs you feel fine until it's too late.
You really should go to A&E
