Friend took pills.

Question.

My friend just told me she took 26 200 mg ibprofen. Although I really don’t think it will kill her - although she told me that’s what she was aiming for - she wants to know if it will. Like, if she should call a hospital or something.

Thanks.

It’s quite possible I think.

Give her salt water, and lots of it. And call an ambulance, just in case.

If she was really aiming to kill herself, why would she call you to tell you that she took the pills in the first place?

I have no clue. She’s a drama queen.
But I’m being a good friend by posting this.
Don’t ask ******* questions, because I don’t know.
Just tell me if she should call the hospital.

It does sound like she’s seeking attention…

Sorry! If she really took the amount of pills she said she did then she should call the hospital.

She might just be seeking attention, but if she’s OD’d on painkillers she needs medical attention ASAP

I’m really sorry, I just thought it was strange. I’ve apologised and said I’m sorry.

Not you bookworm, dorian.
I’m just a little flustered right now. Don’t need people b*tching at me.
