my best friend took about 7 pills of Tylenol advil and painkillers and cranberry pills (7 combind, not 7 of each) and she did that for 3 days straight and now (which is 2 weeks later) shes been getting migranes ever since. shes real scared and she doesnt know what to do. she doesnt wanna go to the doctor. does anyone know whats wrong with her? she doesnt know what kind of painkillers they were because the bottle is gone/

Answer 1

Your friend must be trying to commit suicide... she's got a good start at it.

Answer 2

Just one more reason not to take medicines without reliable medical advice.........................

Answer 3

Don't think that she'll die of suffocation because it seems like she hasn't already after 3 days, but all of those tylenol pills must have damaged her liver and kidneys. If the stuff is removed from her bloodstream by dialysis, those two organs might not suffer from irreversible damage.

And yes, self medication is bad stuff, especially if you haven't taken a pharmachology course and know what you're doing. I wouldn't discharge the idea she might have done it as a suicide attempt to attract attention sort of thing and needs help if that's so.

Answer 4

It could be a chronic overdose (imagine overdosing over a long period of time). Take her to the A&E and have her checked out, because toxicology will be able to figure out which painkillers they were, or at least the active ingredient.
