Answer 2

Hi Bex - are you looking for serious answers or just getting a kick out of asking this for the 4th time in 2 days?

It is too late to get the Paracetamol out of your system by pumping your stomach and I doubt if you are going to accept advice to got to hospital for intravenous fluids, so all I can recommend is that you drink lots and lots of water to flush out your system - go drink a litre over an hour right now(with juice to flavour if you aren't a water-drinker) and keep drinking for the next 24 hours.

Probably too late to have any effect and while you may think you got away with it you could have damaged your liver seriously. A girl I went to school with died at 23 from excess Paracetamol taken for period pains - stick to the 8 in 24 hours - 2 at 4-6 hourly intervals - as recommmended.

Just because some tablets don't need to be prescribed doesn't mean they can't kill you.

Answer 3

It is actually quite difficult to kill yourself by this method as the body reacts by getting rid of the toxins by making you become sick very quickly. So if you want to do it via pills take a lot very quickly and mix with alcohol (also quickly). However, that's not to say they couldn't kill you in LARGE amounts. The toxins from the tablets can cause some liver damage but this of course will depend on the amount people take.

In you're case you may be ok but don't take anymore for say 24hrs or so. This will allow your body to filter our the existing drugs in your system. Drink plenty of water to help this.

Ibprofin (or however it's spelt) works differently than paracetemol and can therefore be taken at the same time as paracetemol with NO side effects (if taken with normal intakes).

The paracetemol may make you feel sick or be sick but in a way this is good as you're getting rid of it.

It's more dangerous if you took the 17 tablets at the same time, since they've been distanced out you'll be ok.

Answer 4

Drink extremely some water, do no longer bring about VOMITING. you ought to tell your mom and pa, there is not any different way. Paracetemols tension the liver to convulse, and you will possibly be able to't lose your liver. do no longer sleep. Paracetamols drain the techniques's electric powered activity, which could bring about long sleep and not the rest. you ought to tell your mum and dad. Stupidity is crushed by employing necessity, they are able to yell at you while they are "so satisfied you're ok".

Answer 5

Ring NHS Direct

0845 4647

Tell them what you did, and when you did it. They will tell you what to do....... which is probably go to the nearest Accident & Emergency Department

Hopefully you won't have done any lasting damage, but you need to get it checked out. Blood tests should reveal how serious it is.

Believe me it's not a pleasant thing to have to do, but they will treat you with respect and won't lecture you, they will do the necessary tests first and then get someone to talk to you.

You need to get some help before you go too far and make a mess of all your internal organs.

Please ring NHS Direct.

I've just answered your latest question as well.

Answer 6

Oh gosh. why are you doing this??. Please don't do this anymore, ibuprofen can cause bleeding ulcers, as well as serious problems with your liver, neither of which you want to ever have!!!

I think you are screaming out for help. and attention, please try and speak to someone. Your parents are there for you, and don't want you to suffer in silence. If for some reason you cant speak to your parents or a family member,

There must be a child line in your area, It will more than likely be free to call. They are there to help young children and young people/teenagers, and they are confidential, so they wont ring your family, if you don't want them to.

Above anything else, try and remember this, your feeling bad now, but it wont last forever, and your young, you have your whole life ahead of you. Things really will get better OK!!

Answer 7

No. Paracetamol is deadly in the doses you took. I know someone who took less than that( a full grown man). He was OK for a week then he suffered liver failure and died a painful death. So you are a silly person and you are going to miss the summer Goodbye .
By the way. You are not fooling anybody, you are as nuutty as a fruit cake.

Answer 8

If you are not trolling, you need to go to a hospital now for assessment. The exact amount required to do serious damage varies from person to person, and since you say you're smaller than average then you need to get checked.

Paracetamol liver damage takes several days to kick in fully and people who take paracetamol ODs take quite a while to die. In severe pain.

If you've ever seen anyone after a paracetamol overdose you'd never choose that as a method of suicide, trust me.

Answer 9

Firstly... why did you take them?
Secondly... go and see a Dr and get them to check you out. Paracetamol can cause liver damage when taken in large quantities. Hopefully no harm is done but I think you need a check up. The Ibuprofen should be ok because you took the correct dosage of them. Its the paracetamol that concerns me.

Answer 10

This was a very dangerous thing to do.
Paracetamol is one of the worst drugs to overdose on because it is hard to stop from damaging the liver.

You should see a doctor, really, though it sounds as if you may have gotten away with it -- a large dose of paracetamol can have serious effects on your system.

Ibuprofen is aspirin based and will not 'add' to the paracetamol load (unless it is a combined drug -- that is ibuprofen and paracetamol -- this will be stated on the packet)

No matter if you feel ok, you should really see your doctor as soon as possible -- it is also important to discuss why you felt compelled to do such a silly and dangerous thing.

Answer 11

Dont go there, Paracetemol is not a drug to fool around with
you will do unrepairable damage to your liver with a high dose, life is to sweet to risk it with overdose of drugs.

Thinks of all the things that you wish to do in your life and have not yet done, stay away form foolish pranks such playing with Paracetmol or any drug
