Friend with Acetominophen overdose

^^^

So someone tells you that they've taken a potentially lethal dose of a slow acting poison and asks you keep that a secret and you don't think that you're being manipulated in some way?

I assume that the reason she's certain she'll be fine and won't seek medical attention is because the information you have is untrue has crossed your mind.
 
took her to emergency room, she was jumped ahead of alot of other people in the waiting room,

got a txt from her saying they gave her iv gravol, and are doing blood work,

so now we just gotta play the waiting game,

hopefully we got her there soon enough

Thanks for updating us. They'll probably rush the bloodwork so with luck the wait won't be too long.

I just had a chance to read through this thread and I have to be honest, your friend's apathy towards the situation made me really upset. Especially after reading everyone's comments about how serious the dose is/was.

But I am really glad to hear that the bloodwork is underway, and I just sincerely hope that it's not already too late and the antidote can be administered with success.

Please update us when you can <3

you can t tell me she didn t done this on purpose...
[this is not constructive nor helpful, please be more thoughtful with your comments in the future, thanks - n3o]
 
just heard word, shes gonna be in the hospital for a few days,

I hope her stay is just precautionary and there's no serious damage. I'm sorry if we came across as kind of harsh and pushy towards you, but hospital is where she really needs to be and time was critical - hope you can relax a bit now that she's there.
 
i did not feel anyone being pushy,
i did research before i posted, i just wanted a second opinion, and i knew "the dark side" would be a good place, to put this, the dark side is always helpful, and kind compassionate and caring people,

plus hearing you need to go to the hospital from a bunch of people who know their shit about drugs is better then just hearing it from one person,
bluelight is the place you can get informed drug information from people who know about it , rather then the scare mongerers and the uninformed who would be extra cautious and jump more on the gun irrationally,

Any time. I hope your friend is ok, doing well mentally at least while she is in the hospital.
TDS is pretty compassionate, IMO moreso than other sections of the forum. However I would warn against thinking bluelight members give accurate information (though some of them do most of the time). We have experience with drugs, but it also makes us vulnerable to drug-induced delusions, and by delusions Im talking about even the small ones almost all of us have, as drug users. Sorry but its true.
 
So is she feeling sick from it? Last thing she mentioned was that she was feeling fine, did you just rock up there, or did her condition start to diminish?
 
I'm glad your friend went to the hospital. I hope all is well with her.

If she comes through and her liver is OK maybe she should start to take some Milk Thistle.
Its good for livers ;)
 
Wow, it sounds like she went to the hospital just in the nick of time.

She truly needs some serious help. Of course she won't seek any unless she's ready to herself, unfortunately =/ Please keep trying to talk to her about needing to seek some counseling. I'm sure her doctors will as well but she's more likely to listen to you, especially if she confessed this whole situation to you to begin with. I mean, she told you for a reason. She obviously knew that there was a good chance of her ending up in the hospital yet she told you about this anyway. To me it's a very obvious cry for help. Someone who wants to kill themselves isn't going to start calling people immediately after their suicide attempt, and someone who's looking to get fucked up isn't going to take codeine and tylenol to do so (unless they're like 14 years old or something...). To me it's obvious that this was a suicide attempt and then a cry for help, so help your friend, even if she's asking you to stay in the background for now. She'll thank you later.
 
i hope she waited less than 24 hours to seek help

i agree with others, that unless she was totally clueless to what she was doing, this seems like a suicide attempt, I really hope it was unsuccesfull.

taking that amount, spaced over time, would mean that damage has occurred for sure, just how much is really the question, the liver can regenerate but that can take a very long time.

I hope it all works out ok!

definitely keep this thread updated

I am SO so glad you posted in here about it man, seriously. Otherwise your friend would be dying right now.

You did the right thing and you are a very good friend <3
