You probably couldn't take enough to kill yourself, but most over the counter sleep aids have ingredients in them that can really screw up your liver. When I worked in a hospital, we saw lots of people coming in trying to kill themselves with OTC stuff, and they just ended up getting their stomachs pumped and then dealing with liver problems for the rest of their lives. You would be waaaaaay worse off then you are now. Not to mention the fact that they can have you commited against your will if they think you're a danger to yourself. Call your local mental health agency and tell them you've been having suicidal thoughts. They can help you while letting you still be in control But don't put your family through the hell of your trying to kill yourself.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!
1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.
2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.
The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.
After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net
Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Not unless you swallow an insanely large amount. If you are brave enough to withstand the excrusiating pain of tearing up your stomach and the hallucinations you may have the next day - my hat is off to you. Anybody serious about wanting to die should use a much stronger kind of pill. Hopefully youre not considering suicide - Tomorrow might be a better day.

Committing suicide is not like in the movies... you don't take sleeping pills and quietly fall asleep. the body convulses, you vomit... it's ugly, it's messy and in some states illegal. Anyone thinking of suicide should consider what exactly is involved... who is it really going to hurt? all those who's lives you've touched.. all those people who love you - they may not say it... but they do and it'll hurt them.

depends. you take enough of any variety of pills. mix with alcohol. and if you dont die, youll no longer want to die.
why do girls try to themselves with pills? they usually fail, end up in a mental hospital because the parents can never figure out why their perfect child would want to commit suicide. then they get off of the mental hospital everyone acts weird around them. and everything becomes worse then it already was.

Unfortunately, sometimes the problems ARE permanent, so the theory that suicide is a permanent solution to TEMPORARY problems is simply false.

i don't know about sleeping pills, but most overdoses can kill you. don't commit suicide, though! your life is precious and you only get 100 years!
