I took 46 panadols and have vomited twice. Been having stomachaches and i feel like someone has kicked me in the stomach. What should i do? I dont want to go to the hospital because then my parents will find out. Ive been depressed for a very long time. Cutting was always a solution but something happened and I just want to die. But i dont like the pain im suffering and I'd rather live. I made a huge mistake. I need help!

    Where are you based?

    How old are you?

    Get yourself to hospital (do not drive yourself though) or ring an ambulance now.

    Forget about your parents for the time being, all they'll be interested in is you being well anyway, and any potentially uncomfortable chats can happen later.

    The important thing is you seek medical attention urgently.

    As in right now.

    Hey hun. You must go to the hospital immediately

    . I am a registered nurse but am on this site as a patient. The damage may not be apparent at first but you may develop liver damage over a number of days which is serious and life threatening

    please please go to the hospital immediately. Once they treat you physically, you can get psychiatric help but treating this overdose is a priority now.

      You don't know how much of the pills you have absorbed already so no, that's not effective.

      You need to seek medical help right now and they will advise and treat you.

      Like xarjia just said, the overdose itself is the main priority at present. Then you really obviously need help with why you took the overdose.

      But right now, call someone, a trusted friend or family member if you can't face calling an ambulance and get them to do it for you.

      You need to be totally honest with what you've taken, nobody will judge you, they'll just treat you and hopefully make you feel better.

      Please just get help now.

      Take care xxxxx

      No you're right I don't, but I do know you consider what you've done to be a mistake, I do know that you want to live, and I know that the best thing for you right now is medical attention.

      Does anybody know about your depression? A friend? Your dr?

      You need to be brave and confide in someone, even if that is just a medical professional who can help you right now.

      You don't say your age or where you are living but depending on that, and the situation with your family, your parents may not need to be involved.

      But you really do need to seek help. As soon as you possibly can.

      Remember you want to live, you've told us that. So live; phone and get help xxx

      You see i took them in the morning and in 30min i puked and then i puked again in school, when i came home i slept more than 3hours and then ate, then puked again. So is there a chance that i havent digested much since i didnt have a chance to. Ive already told a friend and they say since i have puked three times i may just need to sleep. And im 15

      Ok. Well it's good that you've told your friend for moral support, but that's all they can really offer you.

      You need medical advice. There's no way of really telling if or how much damage you may have done to your body.

      Could you talk to a teacher?

      Or your friend's parents maybe?

      You really do need to be seen my a medical professional xxx

      You've done really well for trying to cope with everything and you are being very brave .

      But it is really important that you are monitored by a medical professional to check your blood results as the damage could take up to a week to become apparent if you don't get medical.

      I appreciate you are really worried about your parents but if you don't act soon, your health could deteriorate . Please go see a doctor.

      Please let us know how you're getting on my lovely.

      If its any consolation, I was depressed when I was 15 too. I'm in my mid twenties now and I'm still here.

      Time passes, things that upset you stop hurting so much, you get to be an adult and make your own life choices.

      You're still so young, don't let this one mistake define the rest of your life.

      You've got so much left to experience!

      Go and get medical help and start your journey of recovery.

      Take care xxx

      Hi I used to be a nurse and have told this poor soul to go straight to hospital.

      The sad fact is I've seen so many youngsters take 28 paracetal and within 72 hrs they start getting symptoms and end up in liver failure.

      Please if anyone knows this person I urge you to contact them and get them to go to hospital!!!

      I took the pills this morning at 7am, puked once at 8am second time was at 9am then the third time was at 5:30pm. My mom says we will go tmr morning if i dont feel any better and even if i did i would tell her i didnt. I dont want to tell her that i overdosed and if i cant have a private conversation with the doctor then ill just mention that i took panadol and it made me sick. Hopefully they will suggest to flush my system

      Honey, it doesn't matter how much you've been sick or how often you've been sick, what matters is that you've overdosed.

      You need to be seen as soon as possible. Tell your mum what's happened. Please my lovely, you need proper help.

      Go now and get treatment, please xx
