Friend took an overdose

[Paladino]

Just been told my friend has taken around 30 or so paracetemol pills earlier on today & god knows how many diazapem pills to try and kill his self. He is in the hospital atm but everyone is in the dark as to what is going on just now, what will happen to him, does anyone know please??

[SethfromMI]

all I can say is pray man. I am sorry to hear and hope he will be ok

[Vermilion]

I'm sorry for you and your friend, I don't know what to say, he must of been in a really dark place I guess now he's getting help, I hope he pulls through.

[Paladino]

Thanks, don't know whats happening with him at all only know what I've been told but he was found sleeping in his room with 2 empty boxes of paracetemol & his sister woke him up and he went to the hospital.

[Vermilion]

I'd say if his sister woke him up its a good news

[SethfromMI]

^yea it is a hopeful sign he is going to be ok in the end

I agree if his sister was able to wake him up into a conscious state, then that is good news. When somebody takes an OD it can have a lot of negative effects on the brain, and if he was able to wake up and get up then that is a good sign.

Taking that much paracetamol can also hurt your liver, but I'm not a doctor, and do not want to tell you things that may not happen.

I hope your friend pulls through. The best thing you can do now is try to comfort yourself and his family.

I hope everything is okay. From previous experience, I can say that if the doctors know what he took they should be able to give him something that counters the effects. I really hope he turns out okay. It's important for you to be there for him, and we are here for you if you want to talk.

that mustve sucked for him. od'ing on pills is one of the most painful and least effecient ways to kill yourself. you have my condolences

[Abhorrence]

I've been in a very similar position. It was an absolutely horrifying experience, I wish him all the best.

[Paladino]

A little update, hes fine, hes home now but he did nearly die and was very ill at the hospital.

[Vermilion]

That's great news that he's fine. But you know this isn't the end it's only the beginning you should try and support him the best you can and find out why he did it if he's happy to say.

A little update, hes fine, hes home now but he did nearly die and was very ill at the hospital.
