Comments on: What Can Paracetamol Overdose Do To You?

About a week ago, I overdoses on Panadol (about 40 grams of Paracetamol) and tried to commit suicide from a 3rd floor. The medics rushed me to the hospital and pumped out everything and treated me with activated charcoal and then with an antidote. After two days of taking blood samples and staying in the hospital, I eventually was released and the doctors said everything was fine. My question is: Am I allowed to drink alcohol? I am worried that if I do, I might risk harming my liver after this incident.

Thank you.

Overdosed myself with over 60 paracetamol tablets, phenergan and valerian with a bit of wine over a period of 2 days. Stilll feeling tired (haven’t had a good sleep in about 4-5 days), depressed, mixed emotions, confused and I went through all of those drips and blood tests – not a nice place to be in hospital. Never want to end up like this again and will recover. Please I need advice on how to get better.
Cheers

i took 40 paracetamol and cocodamol, plus 8 ibruprofen lyscine the other night…not fun. have just got home after 36 hours in hospital with a drip and throwing up blood and bile constantly. i was crying from the throwing up, ironically wishing i was dead, and crying for my mum like a baby.

I have been just read your post angela. I took 32 paracetemol 2 weeks ago once id been drinking. I fell asleep and woke up with what i thought was a hangover. The following day i felt so sick and dizzy which got me panaking. I went to bed that night and was awake with nausea and vomiting the next day i felt dreadful and was still vomiting. A friend took me straight to the hospital. I told them what i had done and the did a blood test. The results came back showing my liver was severley damaged. I was so scared I was on 2 drips for 5 days constantly having blood tests to ensure my liver was recovering. I came out of hospital but had to go to my doctors for another blood test. If this came back and wasnt right i will have to go see the liver secialist. when i took the tablets that night i didnt relise the damage i was doing it was worse for me as i left it 2 days before treatment. my liver actually stopped working for a time so if i wouldnt of sought help i would have died.
if you are depressed please seek help and dont do anything like this i regret it now and am so ashamed of myself. take care xx

i have taken an overdose before quite some years ago i had that horrible drink. but was fine afterwards cant remember how many i took. i am contemplating it again but i know i am suffering from depression and need help but it is so embarrassing asking for help from your g.p, i work with people who suffer from learning disabilities and mental health problems and understand what is happening to me but it is so hard asking for help. i dont want to hurt my family as i know it will kill my mother but i have had enough. I feel i have nothing which i know is my depression, even though i am pretty, successful and poplular, (i know how bad that sounds), but, my depression is taking over me, and i can understand that, i cry all the time, i cant sleep and am very paranoid and snap at everyone and see only badness when in my heart i know its not a true picture of people. its terrible. you will all be reading this going wtf, but, i have a lot of bad stuff in my life a lot self inflicted as i let people treat me this way but i like to see the good in everyone and 90% of the time am so wrong and get hurt, am not here to cry on your shoulder infact am not sure why i am commenting on this site as i was only looking to find a site that told me how many paracetamol i actually had to take to do it properly, as if i do it i hope thats it.
But what i will say to people reading this is that depression is a recognised illness and there is help even though i should take my own advice am past that now. i have honestly had enough am a bit scared of what will happen but know in my heart that this is what i want. i am my own worse enemy x

Miss, sorry to hear you too are going through a rough time. No, it doesn’t make me feel better..I just miss Mum so so much and to be honest don’t think I can face a future without her that’s all..I just miss her and think I’d be better off deceased. People have said that it’s selfish..however there are two sides to that argument..I cry everyday..sometimes 5/6 times a day..I’m not sleeping…have lost 2st in weight..it is selfish for people to expect me to carry on like this everyday and be miserable..who is right and who is wrong? I have a 41yo brother but he has his life and is due to be married in september. I appreciate he is hurting too but it’s different for me because I lived with her all my life (my brother moved out at 18yo and has lived on his own since), we shared jokes, bounced off each others oneliners, shared the same naughty/cheeky sense of humour..now my partner in crime has gone and yes I’m angry/hurt/upset. You say that overdose is not the right way..what is the right way? Maybe I should contemplate going to Beachy Head instead (I’m in UK)..

I plan to overdose at the end of this month to join my mother who sadly passed away after suffering a terminal illness before xmas. I was her full-time live in Carer all my life..my life is so lonely without her..I miss her terribly and frankly can’t see a future without her..who is going to employ me..I can’t do anything..failed my GCSEs at school..I’m 38yo..I too can relate to mels comment…what if I live? What will people think of me? I’m not coping and am crying constantly..can’t sleep..but the only satisfaction that I have is that hopefully I’ll see mum and be with her again…

I have been strugling with severe anxiety my whole life, especially social anxiety. I also have auditory slow processing. So these two problems have really impacted my life and i have suffered from depression. I am almost 18, I cut myself and I am bulimic. I hate myself, I sabotage any relationships or opportunities and i have completely lost any self worth for myself. Nor do i desire or see any future for myself. All i want is to die. i’m planning on OD but im worried that ill survive and just cause more problems..
