What would happen if I took a whole box of Unisom (sleep aid)?

Question

If I took a whole box, 48 pills (1,200mg), of Unisom. What would happen? Would I die? If I did die, would I die in my sleep? If so, how long would it take me to go to sleep if I also took Trazodone with it?

Just asking. I'm not going to kill myself, I'm just curious.

Answer 1

Although you say you are just curious, here is a little warning of what might hapen if you did try this and you did not die. You would probaly end up with an urinary bag strapped to you for the rest of your life due to the renal failure you would more than likely sustain. If you are wanting to die now, imagine how you will feel with a bag of your pee hanging from your side. I suggest that you find someone to talk to. There are a lot of people that can help you through bad times. I know, I have been through many. And iif you are wanting to do this just for fun, DON'T.

PS, don't forget about that little voice, you know, the one that keeps you going some days. Its there for a reason. We all go through this, but that voice is stronger in some than others, but you can make it stronger. Good luck

Answer 2

Okay I would say that you probably would definitely die.  I'm assuming 1 pill is the standard.  If two pills is the standard, then you're only taking 24x the standard dose, so you'd be less likely to die.  I imagine it also varies on factors such as body weight and health (liver, etc).  Also I don't know what chemical is used in Unisom, but if it's prescription it's probably a lot stronger than OTC (for example, 48 benadryl probably wouldn't kill you.)

The other factor is whether or not you throw up.  If you don't throw up you'll be much more likely to die.  If you also took trazadone, you'd probably die.

I'm sorry I can't give you any more specific answers, but I'm unfamiliar with Unisom, and there are lots of other factors that would come into play.  In any case, taking 48 of them would not be a good idea.

probably die
