I somewhat overdosed a few hours ago and...?!


Question: I somewhat overdosed a few hours ago and!.!.!.!?
Ok, so I intentionally overdosed, not enough to kill be, but I did just because I was angry and now after all the "mild overdose symptoms" subsided, I feel calmer!. I took around 10 Ibprofen and swallowed it down with a few swigs of cough syrup!. Yeah, I did recieve headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, somewhat buzzing in my ears!. Yet, after all this stopped, I felt much more calmer!. Is there any alternatives for this type of behavior!? Like natural herbs, legal natural herbs lol!. I always had bad anxiety and "depression", and the mild overdose really helped subside it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
i wouldn't continue what you did,, just cause that much ibuprofen isn't healthy!. i'm not too worried about how much you took!.!.!.you'd have to take a helluvalot of it to kill yourself!. but continuing down that road could hurt your body, and not help with your other problems!.

have you gone to a doctor!? if this really helped, maybe your feelings are chemically caused and meds would help!. if it's situational, you could go to a counselor!.

there are some herbs that people like!.!.!.st john's wort for depression and valerian for anxiety!. i had a horrible experience due to st!. john's wort, though, so tread carefully!. herbal remedies, for some folks, can cause side effects just as much as prescription meds!.

i hope you feel better soon!.

p!.s!. i think i know what you mean about zoning out!. i'm not a smoker, but smoke when i feel very angry, and because i don't smoke, it knocks me for a loop!. yeah, it's not healthy!.!.!.but it's what i've got for now! i don't suggest that though :(

maybe you don't identify with the mainstream image of a depressed person!.!.!.it effects people differently!. or maybe you just have a lot of stress in your life, not sadness!? i don't know your whole story!. but if you are interested in herbal remedies, maybe there's a section here for nutrition or something, where there may be some folks who can give you some tips on something that can help you!? you could post here and there both!.!.!.

******if you're talking about me!.!.!.yeah, i'm sorry!.!.!.i've met some real jerks on here! haha!. not you though!. so i don't enable email!. but your thoughts, i've heard lots of people say them too!.!.!.i frequent a forum where folks talk about it a lot!. even though other people are starving and so on!.!.!.these things can weigh on your mind, and make you feel guilty!.!.!.as if you aren't worth helping!. but you are! and you will be able to help more people in the world the more you take care of yourself!. ya'hear!?

i don't identify with some parts of depression!.!.!.there have been times where i definately have a severe problem but i don't always have really low self esteem, which is what most people think is a main part of it!. however, it still overwhelmed me!.!.!.for me, it's some amount of pain that comes up like a big wave and i can't cope with it all at the time!. you say you have it good!.!.!.but you also say that you have a tough situation that stresses most people out!. so you have reason to feel overwhelmed!.

even if you DIDN'T have a reason!.!.!.you have a right to your own health!. for some folks, it's a chemical disease!.!.!.and no matter what thier situation, it can make anyone ill!.

sorry for the long post!.!.!.i'm used to forums!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should speak to a hospital so that they can evaluate you physically, but probably mentally as well!. overdosing doesn't solve problems!.

i do know that if you overdose but don't kill yourself, you can seriously damage vital organs to the point that you will need transplants!. the bad news is that once the doctors find out that you need a transplant because you overdosed, you go to the bottom of the list, and you probably won't ever get one, which means many years spent hanging between life and death in a hospital!.

don't do that again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try to lean away from medication, but if you think you suffer depression you need to talk to a doctor right away and get him to prescribe something to help you balance out the chemicals in your brain!. The medications you will need for depression are all prescription, I wouldn't trust off the counter drugs for something that has to do with chemical imbalances!.

The recommended dosage for Ibuprofen is 1 tablet, you took 10x that amount!. You probably overdosed somewhat, you should probably go to the doctor to see if you damaged any organs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a cup of chamomile tea helps to soothe and relax!.
look for a tea @ the store that's called like "sleepy time tea" or something like that!.!. it will have herbs (the legal kind! hehe) that help to relax and calm your body down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should call the hospital and speak to the pharmacist or nurse and tell them what you told us!. They can tell you if you took a lethal dosage or not!. That is my main concern!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't believe those natural herbs do very much, although my dad swears by Kalms!. What about taking up yoga or practicing meditation!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF!.
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS THERAPY!. YOU HAVE DEPRESSION!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OMG, please do not ever do that again!! You could easily kill yourself!!! Do not self-medicate for anxiety!. Yes there are all-natural herbs for anxiety!. I myself had very bad anxiety, and I overcame it without drugs and even without herbs!. This might sound stupid to you, but the thing that helped me the most with anxiety was listening to a cd I had of chanting monks ("Gregorian chant")!. It is SOOOOOO relaxing!. I would go from a state of near-panic to half-asleep, just by listening to it and breathing slowly and deeply (lying down in bed closing my eyes)!. I later learned that music works directly on the Nervous System!. Try it!! Enya is good too!.

Here is the site of the holistic doctors from India that I see; they are extremely highly qualified, amazing!.!.!. (They travel all over the US!.)
