I attempted suicide last night…and i didnt die…..why not?

Question:

last night at 1 am i overdoes on 2 prescription drugs. i had 20 pills of tylenol 3 (with codeine) in which each contained 30 mg of codeine and 300 mg of tylenol. however, i filtered the pills in cold water so i could separate the tylenol from it and all i had left was 600 mg of codeine. i took all of that in at once then i took about 500 mg of seroquel as well. i got REALLLY dizzy and numb. i tried to stand but i just kept falling over. my mouth was really dry and i could feel my heart beating extremely fast, however i still felt very calm and relaxed. after wards, i got really sleep so i went to sleep. i woke up 5 hours later and threw up the slept for about another 6 hours. i feel fine now, except just still a bit sleepy. what i want to know is why i didn’t die and can something still happen to me maybe a few days from now? if so, what and when? what are the chances some tylenol DID get to my liver? should i go to the hospital? could i still get liver failure even though i filtered most of the tylenol out? what are the symptoms and when will they start to show? how long until “its too late”? here are the symptoms ive had since overdosing. – threw up 5 hours after overdosing -nauseous -extremely tired/sleepy – dry mouth -dry skin – just as of an hour ago, SLIGHTLY yellowing eyes.

Answer/s:

  • you should definetly go to the er…od from tylenol can occur around 48 hrs later….its a slow.. go to the er and get help physically and mentally

  • yes you can suffer from tylenol od up to 3 or 4 weeks from now. You sound like you must be very depressed to be attempting suicide. Do you know you could put your energy to a more positive approach than this? I think if I were you I would see a medical doctor about the tylenol od right away. good luck.

  • i have thought about overdose as a way out too… i have a lot of anti anxiety tabs… i have lots of seroquel tabs too.. and lexapro, valium, xanax, zoloft, avanza etc… how do people know what is sufficient?

  • If you were attempting suicide..why the hell did you extract the Tylenol?

  • You should definitely go to the hospital…But I wouldn’t return to regular activities until you are diagnosed and medicated for your mental distress. Go to see a psychologist/therapist/psychiatrist…whâ?¦ just talk about it and get some help…If you have some issues that serious, (especially if it just comes and goes enough for you to flirt with the idea and do the damage) your going to damage the likelihood of your body making it to old age with out crippling consequences. I hope that this doesn’t sound to “mommish” for you to take seriously… Best of luck with everything, and just remember…the things that your going through thousands of people before have already endeavored. Things get hard, go to the people that will support you. And remember, there are always good times to reflect on…the smell of fresh cut grass, a cup of coffee and a sunrise in the morning, the leaves turning in the fall…these are some of my small moments that make me smile. Not to mention the smile on my beautiful daughters face when she sees me come home from work. What is it that makes the world beautiful to you? Let it fuel you to be better than who you were yesterday. The master if what someone told you you would never be. Rise up against the thoughts and negativity. Love yourself and help others through what you’ve experienced…it will make you feel worlds better to see that the pain of your past could help someone to overcome the same pot holes. Again best of lucks…

  • People have different tolerance to drugs, everyone is different. But why would you attempt suicide. I’m depressed and made some past regrets and diagnosed with agoraphobia, which is like a prison to me. But there is always something that keeps me strong through all this. IF you made a past regret, move in into the future and think outside the box and think positive. there are programs that can get you help if you’re a low income and without insurance. I can make payments later on. But good luck with your problem, I know you can be strong enough I have faith.

  • Do life insurance policies cover suicide?

    Question:

    Do life insurance policies cover suicide?

    Answer/s:

  • If you people who answered this with a definite “No” will read an insurance policy, they almost all say it will not be covered for two years after the issue date. This is standard policy provision and means that if the policy is over two years old, it will pay. Also if you did not have aids when the policy was taken out, it will pay for that as well. If you don’t know the answer, please don’t give wrong advice.

  • I don’t think so. And there IS more than one way to find out. One of them is to ask your insurance company or the insurance company of the person who has committed suicide.

  • In the Baltic States

  • No sorry, and if you are considering please find help talk to someone.

  • Mmmm I think better not to answer for this question, please distroy if you have a thinking of doing that. Man money cannot make everythink you think in the world.. there are much more than money.

  • Depends on the policy. Many will cover suicide, but only after a set time (like two years) after the policy is taken out.

  • not usually. It typically tells you in the package of information that Suicide is not paid out at all for life insurance. It usually only covers accidental death.

  • only one way to find out…

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Suicide will negate any insurance policy. Payout cannot be based on a self inflicted circumstance.

  • Not all policies are the same, but most exclude it, either absolutely or for a certain number of years after signing the policy. Death while committing a crime is usually excluded, too.

  • Medication and suicide?how normal is it?

    Question:

    heres is some history on me: ive been seeing a clinical psyc for around 4 months and been on lexapro for around 3 weeks i’m 19 i’ve had previous suicide attempts (before the medication) alot of people have said that SSRI’s can cause increased suicidal ideation among teenagers…how long is this supposed to last? i’m not sure if it’s a direct result of taking the medication but deep inside i just feel like ending my life, i havent tried anything since i started on medication but i have this strong ideation to kill myself. deep down i still don’t feel like i have a purpose on this earth atm what are ur experiences with SSRI and suicidal thoughts?

    Answer/s:

  • I have been on them before, however they tend to stop working after about 2 years. I never had increased suicidal thoughts until they quit working. If you are having suicidal thoughts, it doesn’t matter if its the medication or not. The bottom line is you need to contact your doctor ASAP and let him/her know. The medication may not be working, or it may be increasing those feelings, however it doesn’t matter. Please get help ASAP! You can receive the help you need and they can switch medications if that is a problem. I urge you to not wait, get help now!

  • I started SSRIs when I was 18 and they didn’t make me any more suicidal than I already was. They didn’t help at all, either, but that’s because my body reacts badly to all SSRIs. Everyone’s body chemistry is different, so just because a side effect is common doesn’t mean it’s inevitable.

  • I found when I started my antidepressants the first 3-4 months were very flat.. like ther wasn’t any emotion at all. The worst part is when you go off the meds, then things go crazy you get overly emotional and your thoughts get dark. I think it also depends on gender though too because women also have to deal with their monthly cycles. the best thing I found was to keep a diary or journal or even a blog and then you can track what happened on the days when things were bad, and also include if you took your meds and make a note anytime you change meds or dosages just to be sure. Then you can usually catch yourself before things get really bad. and its also really important to be honest with yourself I had to try 2 different types of meds and 4 different dosages before I found on that worked for me. And exercise really helps a lot, just getting out and doings things, maybe get a pet if you can having something or someone that depends on you helps a lot because you feel needed. just remember to talk to people because most people who have jumped off the brooklyn bridge the few that survived the fall said that the moment they let go they realized they could fix their problems however usually at this point its too late to go back. life may be a b***h but at least its your b***h.

  • I used to very depressed to the extent that I thought about suicide/death constantly. One thing that I can attribute to getting better is having regular sessions of psychotherapy. If you feel very strongly about committing suicide talk to someone immediately, preferably a psychologist who can help you.

  • My friend emailed me and said he was completing suicide, I am in the USA, he is near Dublin Ireland, Help?

    Question:

    The email said, Hi Michelle, been a while, hope everything is going well for you, anyway iv just found out that kasia is married and apperently very happy, so anyway thank you for everything but eh… you wont be hearing from me ever again, the pain is too much and i just cant take it, im sorry and by the time you read this im hoping that it will be too late as i plan to od on effexor and solpahdine in a few mins. Its ok, i mean i refuse to live where iv met my dream girl and believe me kasia is my dream girl and not have her, theres no point anymore, ah well good old eric loses out again, story of my life, ha ha…so michelle thanks for everything and i hope you take care, dont worry abt me, ok…..iv included a pic of emma, the most recent one i took of her and i bought her loads for her birthday b/c i wont b around and im also leaving all my things to her, i love her but ur prob thinking then how cud i do this, she will understand in time, when she is older, i cant just stay alive in thisi nightmare just for her evn though i love her to bits and i will miss her very much. take care of yourself Goodbye Eric. This was sent on aug. 30th USA time. I have not heard frm. him since. I dont know how to find out whats going on. He has been my friend online for 1 year. I know little about his family but I do know he has been obsessed w/ completing suicide. This is how we began talking, from a post he made here. Someone please lead me to where I can find out what is going on. Thank You all so much!

    Answer/s:

  • a police station in ireland is called a garda station. in the directories i found a number for one in dublin 018437202 but you will need a code to ring from america. i suggest you try to ring them and get someone to investigate this. hope everything works out.

  • if u think hes serious, u need to call the local police station to where he lives and they can go to his address and check up on him.

  • 99 percent of the time, the people who say they are gonna commit suicide are the ones who never do. Being as far away as you can, I cannot see much you can do. If you know his full name you can try to do a search online for a suicide in his area and see if it did happen, or just wait and see if he comes back on line. Given the date of the email, he has already either done it or just hasnt and chickened out (sorry but the truth can hurt). At this point there is very little you can do except move on with your life and be there for him as a friend if/when he comes back online.

  • Call the police and give them all the information you can. the little you know about his family, use it to the best of your ability. Do you have any way to contact the girl he was in love with? im so sorry this is happening. i lost my very best friend to suicide almost three years ago. i pray with my heart that eric is ok and that you won’t go through the pain of losing your best friend.

  • Sounds like a load of old blarney to me.A pointless cry for help or done to upset you.I wouldn;t worry if i were you.People who always talk about suicide rarely do it

  • I don’t think he is serios but you should try and get him to talk to someone. That’s all you can do. sometimes writing something like that is just a cry for help

  • He is responsible for his own actions….sorry

  • Question about life insurance and suicide?

    Question:

    Ok, so my fiance and I are in this debate whether or not a life insurance company would pay if the person commits suicide. I recently read a story about a woman who killed herself because her house was being foreclosed and she left a note next to herself telling her husband he can now use the money from her life insurance to pay the bills. Now, I know you shouldn’t believe everything you watch on T.V. but I watched a CSI show once with a similar situation and the life insurance company wouldn’t pay out because the woman killed herself. So…my fiance says this family will get the money and I wonder if they really will. So what is your opinion? Will the family get the isurance money or not?

    Answer/s:

  • Every insurance policy I have ever seen or investigated has a stipulation that it does not pay for pre-meditated suicide. If the death is ruled as an accidental overdose, then it would pay. If a suicide is revealed by the investigating officers, the insurance will not pay. Hope this helps!

  • Get life insurance first

  • Most times they will not pay it, unless the person was mentally ill.

  • MANY insurance polices have a clause that will NOT pay on a suicide. I watched that CSI as well, it was a good one.

  • If you commit suicide in the first two years of a new life insurance policy, your beneficiary will only get what you paid. If you commit suicide after the second year of the policy, your beneficiary will get the death amount of the policy.

  • probably not

  • i read that same story about that woman, & just thought to myself “that was really stupid” i never have heard of ANY insurance company to pay out the life insurance of a person who commited suicide.

  • virtually all life insurance policies have a “self inflicted” clause. that means they will not pay disability benefits or death benifits if it is the result of self inflicted injuries. be very leary when getting insurance as i am aware of times that policies were not payed out in miotor vehicle accidents when the victim was 100% at fault and gross negligence was shown, as in the case of a woman who was driving the wrong way down a divided highway while impaired.

  • I sat in a real case with a situation like this. Mom and dad both had separate policies on themselves and had the kids in the will. It was a murder suicide case though. The kids were only to get the money from the moms policy since suicide was not covered and dad killed himself. In this case the wife was killed by the husband who in turn killed himself so only her policy was legal for paying out.

  • I know a lady in a similar situation. She has four kids, and recently (I think this was about a month and a half ago) her husband shot himself over their house being foreclosed. She DID NOT receive any money for his life insurance. They got kicked out of their house within 30 days and now they are living in a hotel. I think the husband should have looked into it a little more closely, than being so selfish and leaving his family of 5 with absolutely nothing.

  • What to do about my suicide attempt?

    Question:

    ive calmed down now. but i have depression, anxiety, and anorexia. and now gastroenteritis. except i havent been allowed to take my depression pills (4 of them) because of the severe nausea and vomitting. today i finally snapped. and tried to kill myself. i started with cutting. tried to get to the vein in my wrist. then tried to over dose on effexor, cymbalta, anything i could get my hands on. my parents stopped me but wouldnt take me seriously. they laughed, took my phone, and wont let me talk to my boyfriend. im calling my psychiatrist tomorrow. im scared theyre gonna send me to a mental hospital or something. any idea of what theyll do?

    Answer/s:

  • Don’t be scared of the psych ward. They evaluate you, counsel you, make sure you get better. You may be medicated to get rid of the gastroenteritis (MAY be? You probably will) and you might have to be tube fed depending on the degree of anorexia. They’ll probably focus on the eating disorder, which can actually cause depression and anxiety. If you still aren’t better after that, you will get pills. Again.

  • life under your parents isnt very long, stop trying to kill yourself, it isnt worth it, you only live once and you have a eternity to be dead

  • Where was the trajectory of the blood from .12 gauge bullet in a suicide?

    Question:

    Now ive been looking at new info for the supposed Kurt Cobain “suicide” and all i want to know is was the bullet angled up as it penetrated his skull, or straight? Was he really sitting up, as he pulled the trigger? And one final question, if this is really a “suicide” how was he able to pick up a shot gun, after taking 3 times the lethal dose, along with the drug Valium, and not being lapsed into a coma? Oh and one more, and I’m done for now, Why in the hell in the police report was it listed that he did initially have gun shot residue on his hands, but is listed TWO YEARS LATER that he DIDN’T? I’ve got evidence, if y’all want to see. but i need someone to shed some light on this. Please help!!!!!!!!!! Mind boggling, isn’t it?

  • Singulair Side Effects: Is There Any Link Between Singulair And Suicide ?

    Question:

    problems with singulair medication

    Answer/s:

  • I would Say yes maybe.I was on that and it made me feel so icky and terrible and in 3 days i stopped..My son was on them also and he started talking of suicide and he was only 11 so i took him off also.When they know things like this about drugs they keep it hush -hush and not until someone does something like suicide and it comes out then we find out the facts’ little by little..

  • nooooooo

  • While it may be bit early to say that suicidal thinking can be triggered of by singulair it is definitely under investigation by various authorities. There have been numerous complaints about singulair, Merck’s r drug for Asthma treatment as reports link suicidal thoughts to it. FDA has started to look into these additional singulair side effects of Reports say that Health Canada is also investigating on this. The investigation by USFDA and Health Canada is the result of reports of people attempting suicide while taking Singulair. While there were no reports of singulair linked to suicide or behavioral changes involving 11,000 patients taking this drug during the Merck’s safety studies, there have been many reports of these symptoms in people taking the medication since it has been marketed While Merck lists very mild side effects like headache, ear infection, sore throat, and upper respiratory infection, it has however recently added reports and danger of suicide to Singulair’s label. More than 30 Million prescriptions were filled in USA last year for this drug. While FDA does say Singulair has serious side effects, it will take the agency till the end of 2008 to determine if any regulatory action is needed including recall of the drug if needed. Finally it has to be noted that Singulair is a popular allergy and asthma medication that blocks leukotrienes, chemicals released from mast cells and other immune cells that cause inflammation of the respiratory tract. Because Singulair could be used to control a person’s asthma, it is important that patients on the drug consult with their doctors before stopping the medication if there are concerns about possible behavioral changes. http://www.healasthma.com

  • i dont know, talk to your doctor

  • With the news that the so called suicide bombers were high on morphine?

    Question:

    do you still think they are attempting martyrdom when the Koran has ruled intoxication anathema.Look at the origins of the word assassin it comes from hash-hash which the original assassins were all on .

    Answer/s:

  • kamikaze pilots during WWII where high on meth. Your right the Hashsissins (sp) got high on hash before they went off to kill.

  • I guess they believe that for such a purpose it is allowed. Bosnian Muslim fighters used to take morphine too.

  • Suicide Bombers are a bunch of B.S. Here…check out this article…http://physics911.net/islamnotsuicidal

  • Thee are lots of exceptions to rules in almost every religion. It may be okay to be high if it is a means to achieve your ultimate goal. Actually, they may not even consider it “high” but maybe as a spiritual type thing so that their “earthly selves” do not prevent them from carrying out the true destiny of their lives, or some kind of BS rationalization. Whatever the case, I think that blowing oneself up is ridiculous, and if these people wnat to do it, I think they are crazy for coco puffs, no matter what religion they happen to be.

  • You cant really get high on morphine. Morphine lowers your blood pressure and makes you very groggy. Perhaps they took enough to calm the nerves, 1gm or less. anymore than that, i doubt they would be able to function.

  • In Islam, Muslim are not even allow to kill animal without reason, not to mention killing innocent human being just because a certain “A” has done them wrong. They are only allow to take action against “A” and not even the family of “A” so how do they justify taking other innocent lives in the name of ALLAH. Those so called Suicide bombers have in fact tarnish the great religion and should repent. I, a non muslim can see why can’t the true muslimin. .

  • In a logical sense, that is a lot of bs being spread around. Can you manage to drive a car properly, highly intoxicated, let alone high on morphine around the streets of New York without ever hitting the gutter or other cars?. How much more if you have to stop and pass through a series of security check-points, answer and talk coherently to police officers manning the check-points without being noticed that you’re highly intoxicated with morphine?. Then lasly, to direct your car to hit a precise target?. I guess that nobody can accomplish that while highly strung on drugs. So the whole story is implausible to me.

  • This is most interesting. Can you provide a link to an article or news source? thanks.

  • Kurt Cobain – MURDER OR SUICIDE?

    Question:

    Which do you think it was? Evidence for suicide – - Suicide note. – A unproved Attempted suicide in Rome. – He suffered from Bipolar II (Manic depression). 15% increased risk of suicide. Evidence for murder – - Note’s found in Courtney Love’s rucksack practising Kurt Cobain’s handwriting. – He had 3 the lethal dose of heroin in his blood, although if you take his weight into consideration and that heroin turns into morphine when in the blood, this was closer to 75 times the lethal dose of heroin in his blood 1 week after coming out of rehab when found dead, he wouldn’t of been able to lift a gun to his head. – Courtney Love was facing divorce – earned $50M+ for death. – No finger prints where found on the shot gun used. Including Kurt Cobain’s. – No finger prints found on the pen supposedly used to write his suicide note. – No finger prints found on the box of shot gun shells. – The ‘Suicide’ note analysed by experts, the original that is – was most likely not even a suicide note, Kurt Cobain planned on leaving the ‘Rock n’ Roll’ life style, this was his goodbye note for magazines. – Kurt’s friend Peter Clearly said Kurt was never suicidal. The ‘suicide’ theories came around after his death. – The coroner who pronounced Kurt’s death a suicide was an old friend of Courtney’s. – Eldon Hoke claimed Courtney Love offered him $50,000 to kill Kurt Cobain. Of course because of his life style no one believed him, even after taking a polygraph showing he was 97% telling the truth. What happened to hoke? He was seen leaving a party with someone his friends had never seen before, he was then found dead on a railway track the following day in a supposed ‘freak accident’. – Tom Grant decided to make the information above national. From voice recordings, it has been proved Courtney Love called Tom Grant saying she ‘will make it worth his while’ to drop all investigations.

    Answer/s:

  • it has to be murder, there’s too much evidence to say it was just suicide.

  • This comment on youtube pretty much sums up my take on the whole conspiracy. “Remember, he said he WAS suicidal and if he were to do it, it would be of a drug overdose. Kurt was murdered with a gun, not a drug overdose so it was NOT suicide.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuEactqOI…

  • Oh Wowwww, where did you get all the information :O I’d first thought it was a bit obvious and suicide, but after reading all that evidence to support the murder, i’d say he was murdered! X AJ

  • I believe that Courtney Love murdered Kurt Cobain.

  • SUICIDE

  • murder

  • that was a murder

  • suicide.

  • like Courtney Love said “Hole’s gonna be big” as she pulled the trigger

  • I miss him…. I did not know all that information til now, so I do think he was murdered! :( I LOVED HIM AND STILL DO!!
