Hello
I overdosed on paracetamol and sertraline on Sunday (it's now Friday). It's a whole long story and I don't really want to go into it, but long story short I was diagnosed with post natal depression and a mental breakdown and the logical/non-break down me doesn't want to die and doesn't even remember taking the OD. Its like I left my own body, smashed up the kitchen and took a bunch of pills. My paracetamol levels were over 100and something when I got to hospital. I really don't know much about these things, if anything, but that's what the nurse told me and I'm not sure if that's a lot or not much or anything.
Sorry, cut to the chase, basically I was hospitalised for two days on a drip. Was discharged Tuesday and felt ok, if a bit hung over for want of a better description. Wednesday and Thursday I felt better, just embarrassed and confused but not unwell. However today I've woken up feeling awful. I'm having hot flashes, feel nauseous but not vomited, have a mild headache. I don't have stomach pain and no yellowing of the eyes or anything like that.
Is this worrying? Or to be expected?
Again please none of the "don't do it" talks, I don't want to do it, I never even knew it was on my agenda until I came to in hospital with a drip in my arm. It was a break down and I'm getting help.
