Even if you know it is for attention, don't take it lightly. Go ahead and indulge her just in case. I would make her parents aware of her behavior. If there is a problem, they will be better able to help her. Also, Excedrin contain Asprin and acetominophen which can both be toxic if too many are taken. Acetominphen can cause irreversible liver damage if not taken as directed. You may mention this to your friend.

Well for some people one excedrin would of been enough to kill themself, so i would say, he should be very careful how he talks to her. He should also , tell someone what is happening, so that she can get the help that she needs, that way he will feel better about it, cause he did get help for her, and she will get some help. Whenever someone talks about killing themself it is not always for attention like you may think, it is a warning, that will stop, and they will just do it. When someone talks about killing themself it should be treated with the up most seriousiness.

Well for one thing 8 Excedrin will up set your stomach but won't kill you. Anyone that say they are going to kill themselves usually doesn't have the nerve to do same, but there is always one that brakes the rule. and those are called accidents. I am not saying to ignore her threats completely but your Friend should go on with his life and not let her treats control his life. She feel by saying this he is going to run back to her just to stop her If she is going to do it there is no one going to stop her from doing it. It really has nothing to do with him but her own childishness and insecurity saying you better lesson to me or I am going to stamp my feet. Back in my day they were called spoiled brats.
If your Friend really wants to help her tell one of her close friends or her parents what she is saying maybe they can convince her to seek help. Your Friend has no control over what she is doing when she took the Excedrin she did it not him. That what he has to get into his head what ever she does it is her decision to do it. Go on with is life believe it or not it is called "tough love" Jest may she will get the hint.

Tell him to tell her if Angelina Jolie limited her existence to someone she met when she was 12 she would have never grown up to marry Brad Pitt the third time out. Her knowledge of the world and those in it is only going to expand, she just thinks he's the whole world because she's young and her world is small right now. The world really starts to expand with puberty and if she's not a completely different person 6 years from now then it's only because she limited herself.

He could break his heart trying to appease her. He should call her, see her or write a letter and say something like, "Our relationship is over. Please move on. Threatening me with emotional blackmail will not work." He shouldn't listen and sympathize and try and work out her problems for her -- I think that would just give her false hope that he really loves her still. Just repeat that the relationship is over, and nothing will bring him back.
If y'all are still in school, give the counselor a heads-up that the girl is suicidal.
And if, by some awful chance, she kills herself, remind your friend that it is not his fault. She is the one who holds her life in her hands and the decision is wholly hers. He shouldn't let her emotionally blackmail him from the grave. If possible, he should make it clear that if she kills herself, he won't consider it his fault.

Why are you asking this question on behalf of your friend? Does he know you are asking? What does he have to say about it? There's a reason he broke up with her. What was it? Has she done this before? You have given almost no information. My gut tells me this is a pattern. In that case everybody knows and your friend should just stay the hell away from her. If I'm wrong then please add the extra information. Failing that your friend should decide for himself what he wants to do about it.

suicide threats must not be taken for granted... you must tell your friend to tell his ex's family about this... yes, she's doing this to get attention so someone could stop her from doing it. again, suicide threats must not be taken for granted...

Ignore her and get as far away from her as possible.
She is trying to emotionally blackmail him into resuming their relationship.
He is not responsible for her actions, she is.
