I know this is gonna sound like I'm begging for attention, but I tried to kill myself. I took like 2000 mg of ibuprofen at once, and I changed my mind right after I swallowed it. I'm terrified of telling my mom I tried to kill myself and I need help desperately. I took it like 2 or 3 hours ago, and I'm not really feeling anything yet. I'm so scared right now. Can this kill me? If I go to the emergency can they make it not kill me? I'm so, so scared right now. Please help.
Call poison control immediately if it exceeds the recommended daily dosage according to your age and or weight, that's all I can really recommend. It's treatable but its best that you act promptly. EDIT You may not want to but it would be best if you told your mother.
Tell your mom... she is responsible and will know what to do. do not take any risks and get it checked out when you have sorted it ... get back on EC and discuss what you did this - but get the dose checked quickly
Unless you mother is going to bed this very minute, I urge you to tell her right now. Overdosing on Ibuprofen can do damage to your kidneys and liver. If you have in fact overdosed YOU NEED TO SEEK HELP RIGHT NOW. DO NOT leave it up to chance whether or not you overdosed. GET HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
2000 mg won't kill you. Fortunately, ibuprofen is not as toxic as many other things. However... it could cause temporary kidney issues. What you can do right now is call a poison control center and get their advice. Most likely, they will tell you to drink a gallon of water to help dilute it and clear it from your kidneys. But... you do need to tell your mother, like NOW.
Hey there, I'm glad you're OK. If you ever need anyone to talk to, my wall is always open for messages, no PMs yet, but I also had a few close calls with pills... Also, can you get some help for the underlying depression issues? I'd suggest a good therapist to talk to; it may take a few times to find one you like and can open up to, but it really has helped save me, many times. Be gentle with yourself, and know that people here are thinking of you...I also grew up gay in Michigan, way up north, and it was hard. But in college, and after, things did get better...hang in there, and do something nice for yourself, even if it's just a small treat.
I regularly took Ibuprofein doses as high as 2000mg for pain control purposes (migrain) before switching to codeine and . It won't kill you. As a general note, using regular painkillers in suicide attempts is enormously bad idea. Some stuff will sure kill you but it can be a slow and painful death without a chance of effective palliative care. For example, 2000mg of paracetamol is most likely lethal for someone of your age. It destroys your liver and the death is slow and very very painful. If you attempted suicide, you should definitely seek professional help now. Please, let your mom know now. Let people help you.
I'm really glad you're okay. I think once or twice I might've taken that much ibuprofen over the course of a day because I get really bad cramps, but of course that isn't all at once. Please, if you don't message me, talk to someone. You deserve help.
Hey Plattyrex. I'm glad you're okay, but you really do need to tell your mom what's going one, and you do need to seek professional help. Remember that you've got family that cares about you, and remember that everyone on this forum cares about you. Please keep us updated on how you're doing. Best, Stoccata.
And how are you feeling now? Were you able to discuss your problems in the mental hospital or did they just lock you up? What will happen to the bully girl? Did you tell about her to anyone?
