    Paracetamol can cause serious liver damage even at those doses, if you feel even a little ill please see your dr, it could be something serious

    you are wrong. what you are doing is extremely dangerous. even if you consider what you are taking to be a small number (which it is not), the chances are that the longer this goes on, the more you will take.

    There are often no symptoms in the first 24 hours following overdose, although there may be mild nausea and vomiting. In a large overdose liver function deteriorates leading to jaundice, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Death is rare but when it occurs it is due to liver failure.

    you make your own choice anna but you really shouldn't carry on what you are doing. you could do irreversible damage to yourself.

    Hey Annarrr, i hope you are feeling a little better about things today.
    There is not really much advice i can give you that has'nt already been said, but you must understand that you need to seek help i am sure you know of the various places where you can talk to people who will understand and give you help if when your ready for it.

    Perhaps if you find yourself in a positive mood today you cpould take the opportunity to get rid of any pain killers in the house so that you are not tempted in future.

    *hug*

    *hug* I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time just now. Last year I started doing the same thing and I remember how awful that time was for me, especially not having anyone around to support me.
    Self harm has been a part of my life for too long now, however the overdose period of my life was brief. The reason I wanted to do it was so I could hurt inside as well as outside, however this was in the lead up to when I actually attempted suicide.
    Yeah I know it may not seem like it but hunny it really could be harming your organs, these are lifelong effects I mean. One day we will get better I am sure, even though a lot of the time there seems little hope of anything ever improving. But even when you are in a better place you will still have these serious consequences that the evil that is depression has left you.

    I am here if you need to talk, you aren't alone I promise. I still struggles against the urges to OD sometimes too.

    As hard as it is try not to take them. Try doing anything else instead.

    You need to stop taking these tablets before it does some serious damage. You're obviously stressed which could result in stomach ulcers. My uncle was stressed with work and had a cold, he kept taking Nurofen for his cold, however, such tablets can weaken your stomach lining and due to the ulcers this lining became so weak that it split and he very nearlly bled to death and had to have his stomach removed. Please stop taking them before something serious happens like this, it's not worth it.
