Help me please!! How many paracetomol can be considered an overdose?

Question

I know that you're only supposed to take two paracetomol together... and a maximum of 8 a day, so I know that over 8 would be an overdose... but after how many would you recommend hospital treatment? Because I've been so lonely and depressed and a few hours ago took 10, and I don't know if that's enough to need checking out... I'm 5'6 and slim if that helps.

Please help i don't know if I need checking!

Answer 1

seriously go to the doctor and get checked out. it is much better to be safe then sorry. also the fact that you're even asking means you're concerned and you don't really wanna die!!! Seek psychiatric attention immediately.

Answer 2

ten is definitely too much. you should go to hospital any time you have taken too many, even if you feel good, thats what ive always heard. im not a doctor but still.

Answer 3

you took 10 at one time?  get your butt to the ER

Answer 4

Any amount over the prescribed dose of Paracetamol should mean that you get checked out at hospital. It's really important to seek medical attention, because it effects people in different ways. You may be fine, but you cannot be sure, and nobody on here can really say.

Go see a doctor, put your mind at rest. If it's not okay, the sooner you get treatment for it the better, as it's less effective as time passes.
