sfksdjfhssf. this is stupid. did not mean to do this. - March 17th 2010, 03:45 AM

i've been sick for the last two days.
my dad bought me cough syrup and some over the counter medication. i was so desperate to just get better and fall asleep, that i took more than i shouldve fr the cough syrup, then took some over the counter pills.

went to bed at around 8 pm, and i can't remember if i've been sleeping or no, i feel so dizzy - and i'm pretty sure i just went downstairs and walked around like

<---- that for about five minutes. now i'm sitting in the dark in the guest bedroom, feeling like crap, and dizzy/weird just sitting down.

just wondering when this will wear off and if i'll be okay for school tomorrow? i've had other instances with painkillers where i've ended up running out of the classroom to puke


yeah, i didnt mean to get high off of that. just wanted to feel better.

Hey, Jess. Right now, your best bet is to just lie down. If it wasn't too far over the recommended dosage, it should wear off normally if not a little bit longer than usual. If it was far over the recommended dose, you should definitely get emergency care as that much medication can have a negative effect on you.

It should be wore off by the morning and if you're up to it, then you can go to school. Possibly read the boxes or bottles containing the medication, as I don't know what they are and will be a better help than I could be. Possibly Google how much is actually too much for each one. Or even call the number that's a poison hotline(I honestly can't remember what it's actually called), I believe they have the number on the medication box or bottle somewhere. You can tell them how much you think you took and they should be able to give you a better idea of what you should do.

I hope you feel better soon, Jess!
Immy.

If dizzy, lie down on your side so you don't take a tumble and fall. Not knowing the dosages or even what you ingested, all I can say is rest and hope it wears off. You can also google the medications and look for known interactions. If you feel worse or if there is a negative interaction and you're feeling it, contact the poison control center but keep walking to a minimum.

Thanks guys, I ended up staying up the entire night, for some reason I was completely unable to sit down and sleep. I went to school until lunchtime, and then the dizzyness on top of everything else was too much so my friend drove me home.
