was it a overdose? The other night I drank a large portion of Vicks 44?

Question

(cough syrup) for a buzz. Two or so hours later I took a whole bottle of Tylenol Extra Strength (I'm guessing 28 tablets) I soon followed that by taking I'm guessing 8 tablets of Motrin IB. I can't remember details since I was a bit 'high'. I have had a suicide attempt in the past. I was 13 and swallowed 8 and half tablets of Motrin and when that didn't work I began ambuishing my parents medicine drawer for pills. Any one who has experienced a suicide attempt knows the awful consequences of coming back. I lived in a prison it seemed for years after ward. The other night I dont know what to make of it; all I know is that just as I felt the fimilar symptoms of passing out I remembered a promise I made to my sister and went to my bathroom and began to make myself throw up. I did not go to a ER because I did not want to re-live a traumatic exp. I am doing very well now that was Sunday night/ early Monday morning. I have not told anyone besides a therapist I trust. So was it a Overdose?

Answer 1

If you took enough to make yourself pass out then you did overdose. Meaning took more than the recommended amount. Very dangerous



Why are you trying to hurt yourself? You wont get a buzz from doing stupid stuff like that you will be more likely to hurt yourself. Not kill but have horrible ramifacations that could last a lifetime. You think your life is bad or was bad? Wait until you have to have medical treatment for what you have done to yourself. I am only telling you this because I care. I don't know you but I do care. Please talk to someone. You don't have to tell them what you did but talk to them about what you are going through so you don't let this happen again.

Answer 2

yeah....you know it was.

by the way....they don't put codeine in Vicks 44 anymore.

Answer 3

you're going to kill your liver and kidneys
