Overdose

Posted , 12 users are following.

I'e just took 50 sertraline 100mg, should I sleep it off? I've overdosed twice before but nothing major, I'm scared to go to the hospital to be labelled as a danger to myself.

Sorry for the inconveniance

    Please call emergency services straight away, they won’t do anything but help you.

    You should go to the hospital now.

    I totally understand your worries but there are things the hospital and gp can arrange to help in the immediate future. I've had to periodically pick up meds from GP or doc because I didn't trust myself and neither did they. If there is a crisis team at the hospital they can visit you regularly or you can visit them to talk/catch up.

    Please don't rely on your body's reaction to previous overdoses as nothing is certain. The hospital will help you and if you can then ask about their crisis team, they have been angels to me and have talked me into going to A&E when I last overdosed.

    Go to hospital now. If someone is there with you , let them drive. Better yet call ambulance. They will help you.

    Go to hosp theres a good chance u’ll end up with seratonin syndrome at the very least  u will need treated for that im not sure what else that amount of sert will do but i dont think taking 5000mg of it in 1 go u can just sleep it off!  Tbh sert isnt that toxic most people using it to die dont die but u will have some pretty grim effects fever hyperactivity confusion vomiting high bp agitation. So my friendi suggest u stop messing abt with drugs andtake them appropriately and if there not working go an see someone coz life is a gift although u might not think it now i promise with the right help u’ll see it is

    Don't be sorry , you have nothing to be sorry about.

    Please go to your local a&e unit . I think you should see a doctor as soon as, just to be safe .
