Uh oh! I'm so stupid?!


Question: Uh oh! I'm so stupid?
I took over 6 vitamin Cs cause I read that you pee out what you don't need or use 6mg of melatonin (2 3mg pills) and a cup of alka seltzer will this cause this to be counter productive or harmful I should've thought this through I needed to get up early I was sick and my stomach hurt please serious answers I'm genuinely worried

Answers:

They will not interact, and it is not uncommon to take large amounts of vitamin C on occasion when you're getting sick. That's why EmergenC packs are ok, and they have 1000mg of C EACH. Have lots of water and you can go to sleep...you will be okay :) The melatonin is okay,I take two a night also, I just asked my dad to be sure, he is a GP (doctor). You'll be fine..get well soon. PS ignore that other answer, the blatant swearing/putting down should have put you off his advice anyway.

Huh? This is a bit confusing but as i understand you are asking whether there are contra effects in any of those things that will negate whatever effect 6 vitamin Cs was supposed to have? Then no bu... why did you take 6 Vitamin Cs? Why??? I mean just because someone told you something is safe do you do it? You'll be fine expect a bit of a stomach ache most likely and possibly some dehydration but Jesus Christs that was dumb. It doesn't matter if its Morphine or Sugar Pills you ALWAYS take the recommended dose because you know what that's just sensible. You know what I'm just gunna say it Jack ***



Okay. Let's all calm down a bit. 1) You're correct. You do indeed pee out excess Vitamin C complex (and it IS a complex) and Vitamin B Complex. Your body can't store it or manufacture it. Vitamin C, however, can give you a really good case of diarrhea, and unless it's buffered, can be a not so great thing for your teeth or bones. It'll also acidify your pH, were you to keep doing this. 2) At its worst, the melatonin should do no more than make you excessively sleepy, but yes, your body will be able to clear that by itself, too. 3) When you say a "cup" of Alka Seltzer, do you mean approximately 8oz of water w/ one tablet of Alka Seltzer, or did you mean LOADS more than one tablet? And were you speaking about Alka Seltzer Cold and Flu or the regular stuff or WHAT exactly? It's hard to answer your questions without knowing exactly what you took and how much. So.......Could I both say the following to you and ask you to do something? If you were going to be really cavalier and irresponsible with your health, you "chose" three substances that were relatively okay to screw up with. There are far more other drugs, that had you been this stupid with them, you would already be dead. So my request is that NEXT TIME, could you do your research AHEAD of time, rather than post-soiree disaster? Unless of course, you're really going for that Darwin Award??? And the next time (again) that you choose to do something like this, please call the Poison Control Center, rather than come online to the Yahoo! Answers section. Your life could depend upon it.

Common Sense, duh
