Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Six months back, I took an overdose of Paracetamol tablets. I took 30 tablets once, 20 tablets after two days, and 10 more a few hours later. Three days later, I was taken to the hospital, and my tests did not show any liver damage. I did not vomit; however, I felt very nauseous. Also, my psychiatrist does not believe I have overdosed. After taking the tablets to keep myself distracted, I ate a meal and then went to bed. Is it the reason why the tablets were not fully absorbed? I am not being given any help and am treated like a liar and an attention seeker.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and will surely help you out.
60 tablets of 500 mg Paracetamol tablets are definitely a fatal dose; however, as you consumed them in installments, it has prevented liver damage. The tablets get metabolized in 8 to 16 hours. It is not recommended to overdose Paracetamol as it can cause severe effects. I suggest you consult your psychiatrist for depression. Also, be happy and try to live and love your life.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
