what are the effects?, i have O.D once with painkillers alot of them and differn types at the same time. After couple hours you will fill wierd like..your stomach will fill full and your heart will beep very fast and very loud....and you get a strang feeling i cannot explain. In the next couple of hours you will start to vomit brown liquid and when you take a leak you will have a medicine smell...if you don't take a anti-dote with in 14 hours the drugs will run through in your blood and you will fill really ill and vomit mroe and possible liver damage if u survive that is. well me i had to transport so i had to take the bus and i walked 8 km to the hospital and felt like fallingo n the ground and sleep and yeh...

I have overdosed before, well on tuesday, i took 30 tablets (name shant be giving out of the medication), and it was too late to pump my stomach when we arrived at the hospital in an ambulance, they blood tested me, monitored me, and i stayed in overnight, luckily no damage was done, some side effects, still some side effects today, i have stutters in my speech, and when i wake up, i have a fever, other than that, loss of appitite has occured, and headaches, no internal damage as far as im concerned, so i could of been fading away in that hospital, and i could of died any second, but i didnt.
I suggest no-one takes an overdose, if you do, make sure you get an ambulance immediatly, as it could be to late to help you if you leave it for over an hour or so. Im lucky to be alive, although i still want to overdose until i do die, to end the pain inside, it would ruin my mom and sister life. My sister is older than me, which will make it a bit more clearer if you thought she was like.. 10 or something.
Just think of your family, i never knew how much my mom/sister cared! They keep hugging me, asking if im ok, keeping an eye on me, my sister says she loves me before she goes out, my mom says she loves me all the time, im guessing their extremley worried about me, and upset.
Overdosing is seriously dangerous, and can kill you instantly if your allergic to a single tablets formula ingrediants. Tablets are like burgers, made up with all different ingrediants.

yeah. Its serious business.
Being faint, distant, cold, horrible, dark.
Its hell on earth.
Hell and heaven can be found on earth.
On the other hand:
Neither can be found,
and we can plod along in the middle ground,
not particularly happy,
not particularly sad.
I've found hell, and its here to stay.
I cant keep on hiding from it anymore.
It keeps on finding me.
Surley it cant be selfish to want to escape hell???
Though I'd LOVE to experience heaven on this earth, again!
Oh well.....................................................................

Hello,
i may as well talk about my overdoses. i cant remember them all, i've taken quite a few. the long term side effect i have mainly suffered is from stomach ulcers, which at times can be quite unbearable. <mod edit: bunny - method>
for the most part, antidepressants are a silly way to od as most wont kill you these days. i was recently lucky to get prescribed <mod edit: bunny - method> these are toxic. so in large doses i would expect death. we'll have to wait and see. i will need to collect them first and find other things to add to them.
most people who take overdoses dont know what they're doing... i think after a few goes though you tend to do a bit of research and learn some things.

yeah. You are right. Most people dont have a clue, and I'm one of those most people.
I read this after it was edited so, it was kind of informal, but the pro suicide stuff had all been wiped by the time I got it.
I've been put off pills anyway I think now.
I'm kind of feeling relativley unsuicidal for today, which is good.
Just feel empty, but thats the way it goes sometimes I guess.
Cheers

Its an interesting quiestion.A lot of my life [in the outside world] i felt not many people used to be there for me and i have often felt very isaolated andx alone both physicallly and emotionally alone if you wsee what i mean anybody [i see there as bieng at lesayt two different types of aloneness in life.]i couldnt connect with my family and stuff though i feel thath is partly my fault but i wont waffle on and bore people with that for now.
i still struggle a lot with things going on for me right now but i think at present to say i dont khave people who have been or willing to be there for me would be fairly unfair and wrong.i have been luckier more recently.i found this site last May.There have been an awful lot of people here who have given me so much emotioanl support here and also inspired me to keep fighting by the shatrring of their own stories.A lot of the people on the forum here have given me mroe than i could ever realistically hope to give back to any of them.So i see a lot of people on this site as veyr much as having been here for me.................and they didnt have to be.My situation is not very straightforward and i knwo i can frustrate people at times cos of twhat im doing in taking tlarge quantities iof tabs in od daily and cos i feel so persisitant and determined to die.i feel a lot of people would have judged me for my situatoion but i dont feel ive really experienced that at SF
And also ive been really really lucky recentluy to move to an area where i now have a really good support worker who has gone out of her way to help me and alos works a lot with young pleple who self harm/suicidal an awful lot [i mention that bit cos to find specific self harm sercices for young people whas veyr much like searching for an needle in a haystack so i calass mysrelf as extremely lucky to have that now after finding it so hard to find!].Also i feel veyr close ot the support worker from the charity and my situation and i guess me have put her through an awful lot especially recently - im not proud of that but it is how it has been cos of the nature of the situaion and how i am at the moment and she too could have walked away ages ago and i think a great deal of her for not doing so [ especially cos talking about people in my outside life she has gone through so so much more with me than anyone else probalby cos i talk to her more,its easier.]Cos of my situaotion recently she has had to put up iwth a lot and go through a lot with me.In my outside world she is the one who has had to discuss life and death with me cos if my situaotin and thie issues htis brought for me,she is the one who would tyr nad get me into A and E midnight and gone.
i guess theres also another thing ive found a real struggle iwth not being able to have much contact with family in my situaotin [ they still lscare me] i guess that means when some others may have family there for them at itmes cos i cant easiily get myself to access that then i tend fto find maybe other people in my life maybe preofessoionals do become more important to me.They have a much bigger influence on my lfie than you can imagine.It is like that [well it has been for me at least]when iyou only have a small number of people around you in life and not rally family.Maybe it means i expetc65 too much of others abut i hope im learning not to but i learnt a long time ago how sighnificant others can become especially whne you have little/no family around you ro a lot of stable,continuous people in your life.
i knwo waht i mean but im waffling tonight.So in answer to your question re the forum i feel a lot of other members and staff have been here for me.i offer to listen to otheres whne i can cos i believe they can be helped unlike me.So i prefer to do that and focus on others at time.Also i want to give back some of hte kind caring support many have given hme here.i am not staff.i am a maember here and the other members her eand all the staff etc give me so much so thankyyou ofr this.We all support each other here.
i often wonder where the staff go when they are having a bad day and i often think of them in relation to the question youjust asked me abocve.!But i personally would heoppe they would feel able to come and share with the members here in the same way much sharing is done her e all the time - for i guess we really should not forget most of the staff here probably did find the site originallly in the ways many of us here did............so lets hope they feel aboe to share too.And thankyou

I have overdosed twice on <mod edit:shygirl methods>, each time i panicked and ended up in hospital on IV for 24 hrs.
I am in the middle of a staggered paracetamol overdose now, I am on day 3, one or two more days should do it. So far I have taken <mod edit:shygirl>, I feel ok but a bit as if i am not really here. I hope this time I won't panic until it's too late! I'm such a wuss!!!

My uncle took <Mod Edit: Abacus21-method>, back in the days you could get them in big bottles, some hours later after he collasped, he was taken to hospital, pumped out and filled full of a different drug, since then he has gone on to live a normal life. (that was about 20 years ago)
For him that was the thing that turned his life around.
The liver is an incredable organ.
