Still feel awful after accidental Overdose

Last Saturday I was in a lot of pain so took some of my codine and paracetamol before bedstead 9 for my endometriosis. between the hours of 9-2 I kept waking up crying in pain every hour so took some more pain relief at 12 and then around 2. at 2 I then realised that I had taken a whole packets worth of tablets in 5 hours I felt sick and very out of it tried to call 111 but couldn’t keep my eyes open so hung up and called them when I woke up. I was advised to go to a and e and they took took my blood pressure etc. They said I might have needed a blood test to check my liver but they would have to speak to the doctor which was about a 4 hour wait. I was feeling horrible sick hadn’t eat. I also had work and couldn’t afford another a sick day so left after I was told my my heart rate etc was normal. Since then I’ve had a bad tummy and constantly pooping. Should I still be having a bad tummy this many days later. I am due on my period soon though so that could be it. I’m also regretting not having a blood test and wondering if I had stayed would they have checked my liver. I’m also really upset and shaken by it all as I’m not really sure how it all happened and feel like and idiot.

You need to seek urgent medical attention for this. The effects of too much paracetamol can be delayed, How many tablets do you think you took?

I really hope you feel better soon. Please don’t beat yourself up over it. Endometriosis is awful Flowers.

When I had severe pain post op I had to write down exactly what I took and when as it was so easy to forget. Maybe this would be a good plan going forward? Or an alarm on your phone? You really need to be super careful with anything containing paracetamol.

It's the overall dose in 24 hours. So what you took in a short space of time should be fine as long as you didn't take anymore within the 24 hour timeframe.

I find that when cocodamol wears off, I do use the bathroom more. Usually because I'm not constipated anymore.
