you won't die but it may ruin your kidneys
Call some on this list that can help you!
If you kill yourself, your dead. Then nobody can help you, you can't even help yourself. My brother committed suicide. Not the best option!
Suicide: Don't let despair obscure other options
Despair and hopelessness may lead you to think about suicide. But you have other options, from weathering an immediate crisis to creating a long-term safety plan.
When life doesn't seem worth living anymore or your problems seem insurmountable, you may think that the only way to find relief is through suicide.
You might not believe it, but you do have other options — options to stay alive and feel better about your life. Maybe you think you've already tried them all and now you've had enough. Or maybe you think your family and friends would be better off without you.
It's OK to feel bad, but try to separate your emotions from your actions for the moment. Realize that depression, other mental disorders or long-lasting despair can distort your perceptions and impair your ability to make sound decisions. Suicidal feelings are the result of treatable illnesses. So try to act as if there are other options, even if you may not see them right now.

Call 911 NOW.
You need to get your butt to a hospital. It's not kidney damage I'm concerned with right now. It's your heart. Excedrin contains a lot of caffeine and this will throw your heart rate out. If you are not yet experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath, I would be surprised.
Suicide is NOT the answer. Suicide has never been the answer to anything. Don't you think that there are people on here that have gone through something similar and yet survived it and moved on?
You need to get help. You don't say how old you are but I'm guessing you are a teenager. This is not the end of the world. You will get past it. Tell your parents what you have done and let them take you to the hospital.
Please don't wait.

Honey life is GREAT! Sometimes it does not seem so at this time but always remember that there is always tomorrow. As bad as your life may be right now it will always get better. Killing yourself is quoted as being the easy way out. You are young and remember as you grow older YOU will be in control of how you run your life. Never forget that. Time may seem to go by slowly for you now but as it moves forward you will be happy you didn't give up...taking 12 Excedrin pills won't kill you tonite, just stick your finger down your throat and make yourself vomit. Never give up on your life because life is what you make it. Ask us another question about what you can do about any pressure or the problems you are facing and lets see if we can help you with them. Good luck. (I have had similar feelings in my life and done things myself but I am Thankful today that none of them ever worked, today i am thankful for my children and glad i had the opportunity to LIVE)

Get medical attention. First for the excedrin, then for the urge to take 12 pills in the first place. But seriously, even if this is not an amount that would be fatal (I don't know if it would be or not) you could cause serious long term liver problems. Go to the emergency room.

You need to make yourself vomit right now. Acetaminophen in excess causes liver failure that will take about 2 weeks to kill you, and it won't be an easy death. Throw up now and then call 911.
You won't lose consciousness for a couple of days, but you need to get an antidote for the tylenol now.
Let us hear from you when you get over this mess.

Hurting yourself is not the answer. You may think that this situation is dire right now, but given a little time, you will see that it is surmountable. You can get over and through this. Call 911. Learn to forgive. Be patient with others, and they will be patient with you. You have the rest of your life to see who you want. Today is a short period of time, but the rest of your life is waiting for you. God bless you!

No idea. You should call some to help you or call 911.
When you are home again, ask for help on Yahoo! Answers, or email me.. Perhaps whatever has troubled you this much just needs to be seen from a new perspective.

It will affect your liver function. It can kill you. Call 911 and get yourself to a hospital. You are not in your right mind, you need help to repair your brain chemistry to enjoy life again. Do it now, no time to waste.
