My friend tried to overdose?
ER. Now. If she hasn't already, she'll experience stinking vomiting, profuse sweating, and severe abdominal pain. A severe overdose would take about 150 200mg, so she could still be okay, but nevertheless, the longer you wait to get her treated, the more pain she'll be in. There is one thing you need to be wary of, taking her to an ER could result in her being admitted into a mental hospital for attempted suicide, but it's better than having her be sick, its better than having her die of an overdose. You're her friend, do what you think is right. Good luck, I hope everything turns out okay.
My friend overdosed.....?
Different pills have different effects on different people. I have a friend who overdoses constantly as well. However, she never takes enough to off herself. Then I also have a good friend who did overdose on pills. He is dead. I would say overdosing on pills isn't one of the most lethal way to kill yourself. Most of the time people overdose it is done through stupidity, or by accident. The first friend who overdoses a lot is just a goddamn idiot. She's so stupid. The second was done on purpose. Some people have a high tolerance to medications, some have a low tolerance. Some people will throw up within seconds of taking too much, some people won't. It depends on the individual, their body, and the situation. Anyways, I don't really think it's a big deal either if the person is just addicted to pills and does it by accident. Usually they don't die. However, if they are purposely trying to kill themselves they can usually do it easily without messing up. A lot of the time people also just do it for attention. It's usually not a big deal, I agree. But damn, do I miss my friend who did die from them.
Can my friend overdose from taking these pills?
Nothing much to fear of an overdose. She could have diarrhea as the exlax laxative effect and 4 pills of midol could not cause significant damages. However, still it would be better to tell her parents to have their eye on her for now and the future not to let her do taking such amount of pills again.
My friend overdosed on Unisom?
So my friend ended up in the hospital today for overdosing on unisom. Her mom said that she took somewhere around 30 50mg pills. I was wondering if she will be ok? Is she going to live? If not is she going to go through a lot of pain? It is really upsetting because we have been friends since elementary school and I would really like some genuine answers to this. Please and thank you!
What would you do if your friend texted you saying they overdose on pills to kill themself and they regret it? They don’t know what to do.
I would probably call 911 and tell them about it. Once a friend in ok phoned a friend in oh and told her she was in labor and didn't know what to do. The oh friend phoned the ok 911 in her town and they took her to the hospital. If it was all a lie, l would hope they wouldn't expect me or my friend to pay the bill, but you could ask 911 about that. Surely they have prank calls no one pays for or accidentally go the wrong place. They are supposed to have it figured out.
My friend overdosed on pills? Help!?
You need to call 911. Ibuprofen will cause EXTREME PAIN if that many were taken. She needs medical attention ASAP or risks ulcers and even DEATH. She WILL NOT BE BILLED if she stays ANONYMOUS Tell her to drink some milk now and to induce vomiting. If she does not get medical treatment or is not able to vomit the pills, she will be in UNBEARABLE PAIN.
My friend went to a hospital after overdosing on a drug, but I'm not sure which one. I called a hospital and they said they can't confirm if my friend is there or not. I don't have a car to go to all the hospitals in the area. Is there a way to find out if my friend is there?
I'm sorry but I think you're out of luck here. HIPPA prevents them from legally telling you if your friend is a patient unless he has specifically listed you as someone they may share his health information with. Even if you physically went there, even if you were a blood relative, they can't tell you anything without his explicit written permission. Maybe try getting in touch with his family, if he's been conscious, he's probably given someone like his mother, or his wife if he has one, as an emergency contact, and they'll know where he is.
My friend overdose on Omeprazole?
"If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call the US National Poison Hotline at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: confusion, unusual sweating, blurred vision, unusually fast heartbeat." http://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-2250-OME... She had 600mg in comparison to the average recommended dose of 20mg daily. No one can answer definitely that she may not have a significant adverse occurrence without help. We don't know what other health conditions she may have, for example, her size/weight, etc. I would encourage you to call the Poison Contol Hotline, which is a toll free number to see their advice. She shouldn't just do nothing.
My friend is on life support and in a coma for overdosing on cocaine, oxycodone, and alcohol mix, but no brain damage just lung and liver damage. What are his odds of surviving?
Let me give you a little perspective on how I view this sort of situation.Patients, and the loved ones of patients are often looking desperately for odds of survival. Often these odds are numbers which come from population studies which look at hundreds if not thousands of patients in a given medical condition and then they see how many survive and how many die. (Often after a given period of time - e.g. five year survival rate is a common metric).What is incredibly easy to forget is that those percentages are valid and valuable when you are looking at a population.When you are looking at a single patient, not so much. Let me illustrate.Regardless of the odds, your friend may survive. Or he may not (this is the case even in very simple medical cases, someone who ends up in a coma due to lung and liver damage is in danger of not pulling through).That is it - any odds are meaningless because there can only be one of two possible outcomes - death or survival. In the case of survival then the question of whether any permanent damage has been caused comes up, and if there is permanent damage how extensive is it going to be and how is it going to affect the life of your friend.The way I deal with this sort of terrible, tragic situation is to (try) to come to terms with both possible outcomes. Death or survival, and then see what life brings and go with it.(NB - I agree with everyone who states that only treating physicians can assess the details of a given patient.)
