Okay so I OD'ed over 12 hours ago, on (amongst other things) caffeine. I've been sick more times than I could count but my heart rate is still stupidly high and I can hardly breathe. I haven't slept at all.
I just read this "if anyone is taking SSRI antidepressants it will block the liver enzyme responsible for the metabolism of caffeine, thus increasing the central effects and blood concentrations of caffeine dramatically at 5-fold." online and am seriously scared. I can't go to the hosp, as I have work soon and I can't let them down.
What can I do? If I go to the GP will they be able to do anything?

Why can't you let work down? They'll be ok without you for one day
I think calling your Dad is a good idea, someone needs to know
But if you're ill, you're ill. If you did go in, no doubt you'll be sent home if you're ill and can't work.
If you're still being sick, Broken-Angel, don't you think it might be useful going to A&E and getting checked out. As Piccolo said, they aren't necessarily going to admit you if theirs someone to look after you at home, they may look in to getting support in place for you. *hug* Have you managed to tell anyone about the OD other than us, yet?
