Yes, that's an overdose. Taking any more than the recommended amount of medication (according to the medication's specific instructions) would be considered an overdose. While it most likely (that's not a guarantee though) wouldn't kill a person, it would definitely hurt a person's liver. Hope this helps.
damage to the liver - ER now. yes, it is an overdose.
Yes. Purposefully intending to do harm to yourself by taking more than the prescribed amount of medication is considered an overdose.
It's a minor overdose but 5 pills will usually not hurt you at all. Some people take that amount.
Child if you are asking this question you need to go see someone right now....stop whatever you are doing and are planning on doing and go consider what question you just asked the world's public (@ age 14)
No, no, no. It's a very, very minor overdose. Don't bother the intake nurse at the hospital. And don't do dumb stuff like this again, okay?
Pick up your phone --
Call poison control and / or
Call 911
I believe it's your liver that may KILL YOU with a Tylenol overdose.
Do not wait. Call 911. You only have a few minutes to act.
Yes, big time...That person needs to get to an ER right now.
Yes that would be considered an overdose - cry for help. As opposed to an overdose with intent to harm.
save us all the drama and just hit your hand with a hammer...or stub your toe. Or, do what most attention seeking teenagers do and very very lighty cut your arm or legs. Best of luck, -concerned
why would you even take them to hurt yourself? knowing you could have something wrong and kill yourself anyways. also if it gets you into the hospital they call the law enforcement and its a fine to try and kill yourself in some states or a minor can loose or never get their drivers license until age 22.
since youre 14 i figure youre small and your body cant handle that much medication, go to the doctor hun.
you need help honey.. make your parents take you to the doctor.. *rolls eyes*
I dont think this is an overdose at all, people take more than the prescribed meds all the time and are alright. I wouldn't do it regularly, but it wont kill you. so my answer would be no it would hurt you.
