I took alot of medicine and may have concussion. How long until I can sleep?!


Question: I took alot of medicine and may have concussion!. How long until I can sleep!?
Around three ago I was stupid and took WAY too much medicine that could have killed me!. I threw it all up, thank God!. But now I need to know how long I have to stay up so I don't die!.

I may have a concussion or something so my friend told me!.
But I know that during my incident I was EXTREMELY tired but I knew that if I fell asleep, I wouldn't wake up!.

I'd kind of like to go to sleep soon!.
Any help would be amazing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You don't get concussions from taking medication!. Concussions are caused by trauma (something hitting or otherwise hurting you)!. Unless you counted every pill before you took them, thew up complete whole pills, AND counted EVERY pill you threw up, you can't be absolutely sure you didn't get it in your system!.

What you should do is have your parents take you to an emergency room!. If you're unwilling to do that, I suggest you stay up all night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should go to the hospital to get on a drip to help your kidneys filtrating the drugs you took!. Regarding the concussion, you can sleep whenever you want!. Not sleeping is just a myth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to the hosp!.!.!.It IS an option!

I heard of this one guy who was trying to break in to a bldg & instead of calling for help, he died !!!! Someone smelled something funky & they found a body !!! EWWW !!!!

That guy was afraid to yell for help for getting in to trouble!.!.!. & paying da price of breaking in!.!.!. Your situation applies as well!.

I also read a convo of this guy who OD'd online !!! He was on cam & peeps were like, "That's not much!.!.!." etc!. Another incident that could have been avoided!.!.!. Call the hosp & ask Qs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

people get concussions (a bruised brain) by getting hit in the head, not by taking drugs, and to think you'd die due to what you took is ridiculous!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know you can't sleep for more than two hours at a time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

more info how long awake did you fall and hit your head to have a concussion how much and what did you take was it prescription or none and what mgWww@Answer-Health@Com

well if you don't want liver damage or anything else nasty GO TO THE HOSPITAL and get a professional to check you overWww@Answer-Health@Com

Honey, unless you fell and hit your head while doing all this stuff, you do not have a concussion!.
How old are you, how much do you weigh and what did you take!. This makes a difference because if you took Tylenol or something you are in more risk that falling asleep has nothing to do with, so if you could answer that back, you will get better informed help!.

Edit: Oh, baby, that is not what I wanted to hear!. If those pills were in you any longer than 15 minutes, you have no choice!. You are at risk of kidney failure and believe me this isn't a joke!.
It is painful and deadly, it will happen so quick you won't know what hit you!. The longer you wait to get help the worse you are getting and you are making it harder to treat you!. Acetaminophen is the drug that is hurting you and too much cannot get filter through the kidneys and they shut down!. Please tell me you will go get help!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is bogus you can't OD and die on the small amount of the low dose of the over the counter meds you took and only a someone in the medical field can determine if you have a concussion and I suggest you stay awake and go to the hospital otherwise!.!.get some sleep kid your fine!. Then please see some counseling it appears you may have intentionally hurt yourself to seek attention and this sounds like depression!. I hope you sort things out!. You may end up doing something worse later if you don't treat your emotional and self harming behaviour!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
