  • Hi Alex. You do not get side effects from an overdose, you get the effects of the overdose.

    If you have taken what you say, you should not be wasting time asking this question but telephone the emergency services immediately. DO NOT DELAY!

    Take care.

  • I'm surprised you're here asking this and not throwing up all the stuff you took. Are you asking in advance so you know what to expect after you have them? I can assure you that it will not be nice and you'll feel horribly ill.

    Aspirin isn't good for the stomach lining. You will get tummy aches feel sick possibly (hopefully) throw up, headaches, ringing in the ears, feeling tired and unable to do anything. It is possible you will have a fit or damage your brain. This is a serious matter that needs medical attention.

    Robitussin DM is I think the cough mixture you've taken? It's liable to make you feel very drunk and sick to start with.

    I don't know of the interactions of these 2 substances to each other, the best outcome will be that your body tries to get rid of these poisons fast and makes you vomit repeatedly until your stomach is empty.

    Despite that hopeful response you need to tell someone what you've done right away before you get very sick. Call an ambulance if you're near a phone or have a mobile handy, you don't need credit to call emergency numbers. If anyone is near you alert the to the situation now please or they will be horrified when the ambulance turns up and may send it away thinking it's an error or hoax.

    You will need to have a stomach washout and will be asked to drink activated charcoal to stop any more going through the system, they will take bloods to see how much poison has got into your blood stream. After that they will monitor you closely for side effects or other symptoms they will treat as they occur, such as shaking and seizures.

    You need to be talking the day after about why you took them and what is going on for you. You will automatically see a psychiatrist who will decide if you can go home or need to be in a mentally ill teens unit for a little while to get therapy or medications such as antidepressants.

    Good luck

  • You really should call poison control. You took a serious DANGEROUS amount of pills. I think the real question here is, was this a suicide attempt? If so, Im assuming your not going to call for any kind of help. You're going to experience a lot of abdominal pain, vomiting, fast heart rate, sweating etc. Your body can not process that amount of drugs at once. If you do pull through and survive without any medical treatment ( possible but unlikely) then you will have some severe liver damage to say the least.

    Carry on my friend, carry on.

  • Vomiting, internal bleeding, bad headache, visit to the morgue.... Get to the hospital

  • in case you do no longer die from an OD of this you need to go through everlasting injury on your liver. ibuprofen is annoying on your abdomen besides and would reason bleeding into your abdomen or intestines.
