Please call nhs direct and tell them what you have taken or an ambulance. You may have taken enough to cause a stomach bleed or kidney failure. Plase do this, will be about tomorrow if you need an ear ok? Now don't be scared, call them. You are worth it and this can be sorted. Ok? X

You need to phone for medical advice.
can you call the Samaritans?

Not my field of expertise but don't want you to go ignored

MrsSBackshaw · 05/08/2012 02:03

Oh dear Gracie -idont knowwhat venlafaxine is?but nothing-absolutlynothing!-is ever as bad as youthinkorfeel.pleasecallNHS direct for some proper advice. Why did u do this?

fluffydressinggown · 05/08/2012 02:05

You have to go to A&E, I am surprised that CRS did not tell you to do this.

There is nothing anyone online can do in this situation. You have to go to A&E.

I have been to A&E after overdosing, they will be very kind and gentle and also offer you some psychological support.

Please go to A&E now.

SkipTheLightFanjango · 05/08/2012 02:06

VVVVVworried · 05/08/2012 02:25

Gracie venlafaxine are not to be messed with please call for help, please do not go to bed!!!

What is your weeks worth?

SkipTheLightFanjango · 05/08/2012 02:26

Call the ambulance...

fluffydressinggown · 05/08/2012 02:27

Crisis will always encourage you to take responsibility for your actions which is why they have told you to phone for an ambulance yourself. They can sometimes be very short over the phone which is obviously an inappropriate reaction to your distress and fear.

You must go to A&E, this is a physical problem that needs to be managed so while ringing CRS and the CMHT is a good step they will not meet your physical needs. You must go to A&E, ring an ambulance, get a taxi, ask a relative or friend to take you, but you must go.

VVVVVworried · 05/08/2012 02:28

Okay complaint to made tomorrow:

Now you need to phone an ambulance, you do not want to die do you, you are upset/depressed please do not take this lightly, get yourself to hospital, then can then assess you for some real help possibly not venlafaxine, they are so hard on your stomach and if you go to bed and DO wake up you will feel terrible tomoroow with brain zaps, please get some help tonight, please.

AgnesBligg · 05/08/2012 02:29
