Ive Taken 16 Paracetamol… What Will Happen?
Holy sh*t! You’ve done a colossally stupid thing – get down to your doctor or Accident and Emergency IMMEDIATELY (assuming you’re in the UK). Paracetamol overdoses don’t kill you, it’s worse than that: it’ll stop your liver from working. Permanently. Think jaundice, dialysis, liver transplants Get proper medical advice RIGHT NOW, you clown! PS The reason Paracetamol is only sold in a maximum pack size of 16 is help prevent serious overdoses occurring. But seriously, see a doctor NOW. And by the way, how sure are you that you took ‘only’ 16?
Go to the ER immediately and tell them what you did. You are at risk of paracetamol overdose which causes irreverisible liver failure. Don’t wait because by the time you feel sick the damage will have already been done. You may me OK< but the problem is that if you aren't you won't know until it is too late Go now, don't wait. To John who says you cant die from paracetamol overdose, I have seen several teenagers die from this overdose due to acute hepatic failure, in the UK 130 per year die from paracetamol overdose.
To some extent it depends how healthy you otherwise are. Paracetamol is not a nice drug. Especially when taken to excess and mixed with alcohol it could potentially kill you, or it could have long term effects on your liver function. You need to see a doctor. And you need to stop blaming your best friend for your own irresponsible behaviour; she didn’t force that much alcohol down your throat, I take it.
