Took a small over does of ibuprofen and paracetamol

[lost in my mind]

I took 5 grams of ibuprofen and 4 grams of paracetamol two days ago cause I was panicking and it was like self harm and since yesterday I'm having really bad nausea, dizziness and I'm thirsty like crazy...does this amount of pills even supposed to effect me?

I am so sorry.......,
you already should be going to the hospital.

Yes, go to the ER. If you dont receive the antidote you will die a slow and painful death

I've heard here that people took waaay larger amount and nothing has happened, that's why I'm confused about having those symptoms

Lately I've been taking almost every day for about a week 2 grams of each and nothing has happened... isn't it supposed to just pass as the days goes by?

No, it kicks in late. First you only feel nauseous but nothing is happening. But then your liver gradually fails and you die in pain over the next several days. You dont wanna go that way

Oh shit I didn't think this amount can cause death. Not that I want to live but there is a reason I haven't ctb yet... idk what to do there is no way I'm telling anyone they will kick me out of the ward (I'm in an eating disorder hospital ward)

Don't worry about it, its only like taking 8 x 500 mg paracetamol and little more Ibuprofen, drink water like there's no tomorrow.

Hi! I took over 10g of paracetamol two years ago. I experienced the same symptoms as you for a few days but after that nothing really happened but it really depends on the person: if you ate something before, how heavy you are etc. The amount you took will definitely affect you. An adult should take max. 8g a day if I remember correctly. I'm not a doctor but I don't believe that that amount will lead to liver failure but the possibility is there. If you're having second thoughts and want to make sure everything's okay you can consult a doctor.

i took 30g of cocodamol once, had nothing for a bit and then the worst agonising pain. see a doctor please, if you want to die there are much better ways, it's not worth this sort of pain

Wasn't trying to kill myself.. I'm sorry you had to go through that...

Unless you are having a bad reaction to the drugs, which you would get from even small amounts as you may be allergic. I wouldn't worry too much.
A long time ago I took about 40 x 500mg (20g) Paracetamol just to see what would happen. Absolutely nothing happened to me

that's why i said if:) some people can die to as little as that. if you're over 18 they won't tell your parents if you go to a&e x

Well I took 100 paracetamol pills. Idk the exact ammount but it was around 150g from what I remember. I had nystagmus, neuropathy, blood sugar over 450, heartrate of 170 and puked untill only water and acid came out for days. And that was WITH stomach pumping and treatment. The overdose fucked me up for weeks. This shit is no joke

I'm so sorry... 150 grams is really not a joke.. sounds horrific

Thanks. It was about 20 years ago, so I think I'll be fine.
Probably won't be after I take 25g of SN though.

Paracetamol will give liver injury, Ibuprofen over a long period of time will give you stomach ulcers. Neither peaceful at all
