taking alot of pills can kill you right?

Question

like, advil, aleeve for migrane headaches..overdosing might cause death right?...or will it cause severe injuries?..dizzyness?...just wondering

Answer 1

You'd have to take alot

Answer 2

Usually, taking alot of advil or aleve or something of that sort generally (for a normal healthy young person) will just make you sick....you'll vomit alot...

But this can cause death if you already have health problems...for example if you have low blood pressure and you're taking any of the above medicines then you would just feel very fatigue and this could cause death (as the end result).

But if you're thinking of suicide here (typically these questions are related) you shouldn't do it...and secondly, if you do decided to be your own God then doing it way could just wrap you up in more trauma....not worth it!!!

Answer 3

Yes, most definitely. Though, granted, you'd have to take a lot. The thing is, it'd kill your liver, plus, you'd overdose.If you read the back of the bottle, it's right there on the warning label. Some lady, a while ago, took too many Tylenol's and so it killed her liver. She sued the company because she had to get a liver transplant and she said that it was their fault that there was no warning label that taking too many of those things can kill you. She really needs to wake up and take a good long look at the back of that bottle. They put her at the top of the transplant list for a new liver. She did that to herself, though.

Answer 4

Yes. Taking any form of medication past the recommended dosage may be lethal. Even taking vitamins like iron can cause poisoning. Tylenol can cause liver damage.

Please don't take more than you are supposed to. It is just not worth the risk.

Answer 5

Yes, taking a lot of pills could kill you. It could also keep you alive but with a severly damaged liver or kidneys which could decrease the quality of your life. . .if you are depressed or thinking you don't want to live I suggest talking with someone like a therapist or counselor. If you can't afford it there are free clinics. . .

Answer 7

It could kill you. I don't know how much you'd need to take. Your body may make you throw up, though, in which case it wouldn't kill you.

If you overdose, and live, then it'll wreak havoc on your liver, and may cause serious brain damage. I wouldn't recommend it if you want to live...

Answer 8

well, they will make you wish you were dead after you take all of those! you'll have to go to the hospital and have your stomach pumped out with charcoal otherwise your liver and kidneys would be severely damaged which could and most likely would lead to death after months or years of suffering and dialysis.

Answer 9

it can, but most generally doesn't; most often the result is kidney disease...the pills deteriorate the kidneys ability to "strain out" the bad stuff; this problem can lead to needing to be on a dialysis machine...

Answer 10

yes, if you overdose on any type of pill it will cause severe illness or death, why do you ask this question???

Answer 11

Overdosing on any medication will be bad and possibly fatal for you!
