What was the medication and how much did you take?
I will do some research give me some time?
When did you take them how many hours ago? anything else?
I guess it’s been about 8 hours ago? I’m not sure after I took them I passed out, thanks for your help
how you feeling now? want someone to talk to whilst happitoday is trying to help?
Really crappy really. I know it was a stupid thing to do but I just got into that mind state where I thought it would be ok. I guess I am ya know other wise I wouldn’t be able to be on here. I’m just worried everythings so hard to deal with right now when I’m like this.
Hey everyone makes mistakes and I don’t know anyone that isn’t in a bad place at some time or other! What’s going on at the mo and sorry to appear stupid and tell me to get lost if I’m being too personal… but what’s the medication for
All the information I can find says that if you take an overdose you should go and see a doctor. I guess that would be obvious to anybody … I’ll try and do a bit more research for you. Hopefully happitoday and I can find something useful between us.

Thanks bookworm and Happitoday :) I appreciate it!
The treatment for a Paxil CR overdose will vary. If the overdose was recent, the healthcare provider may give certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to “pump the stomach.” Treatment may also involve supportive care. This type of care consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Paxil CR overdose may include:
Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
Medicines to increase blood pressure, control an irregular heart rhythm, or control seizures
Close monitoring of the heart and lungs
A breathing tube to help with breathing
Other treatments based on complications that occur.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Paxil CR.
Sorry if this wasn’t what you wanted, but it was the best I could find!
Sweet guys, nice to know there are caring people out there! Ok I understand, I have some dark moments… depression I mean. Been battling with it for years, managed to put on a face when I need to, but it grips you doesn’t it. Look from reading the above, (it may not be as serious as that sounds), cause I know coping on your own with this,I would, start worrying myself to death that it was worst case scenario. Go and see your GP tomorrow morning or seek advice on an emergency out of hours surgery line and talk to them tonight to stop yourself worrying yourself into a stuper! Tell them you think you may have taken your pills twice by mistake, if you don’t want to tell them you took them thinking more tablets would help. I would call the out of hours line if it were me just to put my mind at rest, I’m here if you want to talk ;-)
NO, thanks for taking the time to look that up. I don’t want to go to the hospital because my parents will freak out and everything. Thank you tho I really really appreciate it bookworm!

Thanks I didn’t think to call anyone…duh sounds so obvious! I should just call the pharmasy or something! Good idea! Thanks
No worries spent long enough not talking to people about stuff due to depression to know exactly what it’s like, when your low with it you can’t think straight it sometimes takes talking about it to see a different light. If you have your local surgery number to hand call it, they normally give you an out of hours number, they’re not always good, but take down your sypmtoms and give you professional advice on what to do (ie go see your doctor or seek help right now)
Most definatly. I can’t think straight now anyway. I feel like I’m talking really really quietly. Everyone says I’m not. I think my sister knows somethings wrong with me. I feel like I”m high kinda….I don’t like it yet I kinda do…I’m soooo STUPID! Why did I think that was ok?!? garrrrrrrrr
Ahhh now I blew my cover……stupid!
Don’t beat yourself up about it you can’t change what’s happened now, but don’t hold off on seeking medical advice you need to make sure you’re ok and sounds like you’ve still got some side effects. have you stopped taking it for the time being? Could you talk to your sister, it may help to have someone at hand that knows.
Yeah I stopped taking it. I don’t think I could talk to my sister about it yet. You see I just got out of the hospital like a week ago actually for well…trying to end everything. It was stupid I know. I just keep messing up! I don’t know whats wrong with me. If I told her I did this she’d absolutly freak out again. I know I hurt her the most when I did this. To tell her something like this again I think I’d rip her apart. I don’t want to do that to her. She’s like my best friend, ya know?
yeah I undertstand that I guess. Look after yourself and go see your doctor. It’s the most horrible feeling and it’s hard for other people to understand. One thing you just said is something you need to keep thinking on, how hurt your sister was, well all of them. That’s how I stopped myself once a few years ago, however unhappy I felt (and knowing how I’d feel if I was them)I couldn’t allow myself to cause them so much grief. Hope I’m not sounding too opinionated, or coming across as a wierdo (anxiety kicking in lol), I know what it feels like.
Naw I understand what your saying I know thats exactly the way I feel about things, yet sometimes I can’t control myself enough the way I would like to. I just screw things up a lot. I’m trying but even with tryin it seems like I can’t do anything right.
Yep I know! Do you have anyone to talk to?
yeah I do but I don’t want to bother them with all this bull. I’ve all ready put them through so much as it is, ya know? Heck I don’t even know anymore. Thanks for talkin to me :)
lol. taking as much paxil as you did wont hurt you. you would need to take more than that to create a problem. the major problem that would arise is serotonin syndrome. which is a chronic problem with youre serotonin receptors. This drug is a psychoactive (works similar to mdma (ecstasy)). although each person is different your biggest problem is making sure that you dont create a dependence.
