If I tried to kill myself using the pain killer pills Midol and it didn’t work can someone explain the stomach ache I feel??
Let’s say I took 9 pills when the maximum dosage in a day is 6 and I couldn’t sleep through the night nor could I throw up but rather I spent the entire day with my stomach in pain.

Pain relievers, like certain NSAIDS, can be very rough on the stomach, and acetaminophen can be hard on the liver. Stomach irritation is quite common when taking too much pain reliever.
We are not allowed to help each other with methods, but I don’t see a problem with warning against. OTC pain meds cannot be used to overdose, but if misused they can result in problems.
Here’s the thing it’s been over 12 hours since the intake of the painkillers and my stomach has been in exruciating pain, I cannot throw up (and by that I mean I tried to multiple times but nothing would come out) I just want to know how much longer till this goes away it’s been a shameful two days
I believe that no-one can tell how much longer you will be in pain. Maybe you should see a doctor.
Go see a doctor unless you want a painful death what’s happening to you could possibly be liver failure it’ll kill you slowly and it’ll get very painful if it’s just little spouts of pain that aren’t very powerful then most likely it’s your body trying to get those chemicals out of your system
I second what dead inside has said. > Go see a doctor if you can.
Stomach problems are pretty common when people try to overdose on pills or poisons.
The stomach is a pretty hard thing to heal when it is damaged too.
I know a guy who tried to poison himself many years ago. He didn’t die by the poisons but they left his stomach in a really bad shape and he suffers even several years later of stomach pains and often cant keep food down.
I feel for you. Go see a doctor.
I third the dr. Liver failure is a miserable awful way to go. Acetaminophen is in that medicine you took and it doesn’t take much to cause liver damage. OTCs are absutely no way to end your suffering. This is in tension all to avoid liability bt the drug mfg. See a Dr before it gets critical.
*Intentional. Epic autocorrect there.
Isn’t this discussing methods?? I say the word “death” in a post and it gets removed :-/
The general consensus seems to be go to a doctor, if i were to guess the reaction between stomach acid and whatever pills you took was a bad one, perhaps they give too much of a base, which when reacting with acid hurts like a *****, tho you would imagine they would neutralise eachother, tho if it caused the mucus lining of the stomach to be weakened it may be a lack of protection and acid hitting the stomach itself where the lining is weak, tho i have very very little knowledge in this area and am more guessing than anything else. doctor it up man, going painful is a shit way to die, and as for why it didnt work? ive lost track of the amount of users on here ive meat that took a lot more pills than you and are still alive, and some of those were hardcore stuff. pills are not reliable way to go.
@Ant1983 its a fine line with regards to method, but its hovering on the side of dis elustioning people from the method more than encouraging it, which should be alright, bar anyone reporting it. often a deleted post can have a number of reasons from someone reporting it or simply an admin happened by and felt it infringed on a certain rule. truth is, its look of the draw, which admin deals with it
Seems that way Procel, yer. luck of the draw and no consistency.
@Ant, well as a user who’s posted his fare share of posts that should have been banned but slipped by under the radar I can’t complain about the admins, all things considered we get away with a lot around here, some more strict admins would have deleted a lot of good posts from here that helped because of the fact they are unrelated to the main topic of this place so by and large our admins are a good lot, a bit zealous in some areas, such as your post but you’ll learn how to write something that says the same thing with out saying it that way and ull be grand
That is good, that you have been able to speak your mind and not have it taken down. After all the site is aimed at that, reaching out and all of that. But for some reason I have had so many of mine taken down, that was really very tame posts.
@Ant: truthfully it also depends on which users are currently online. We have some users that are in really vulnerable frames of mind and it doesn’t take much to make them sink into a bad place. So it may be that at some times during any given time frame posts get remove easier than other times. It is just how it goes. Plus, and this is kind of the interesting thing about this particular site, there are any given number of lurkers who aren’t shy about reporting posts they find offensive, so it isn’t always the folks here who report a post, even if they find it offensive.
There is also tends to be more tolerance for folks that typically contribute a great deal but get in a really bad place. Sometimes them working through something really ugly helps out the community at large as apposed to someone who has never posts commenting about m@thods or outright posting about a given m@thod including pics.
I’ve seen some incredibly gruesome things fly under the radar and then something I thinks is pretty tame get called out by the admins and deleted. Crap shoot pure and simple. If it gets deleted you are free to post something else. NO harm no foul.
@Ant, perhaps a post aimed at the admins looking for an explanation, not in an aggressive way but in a curious way may yield some help, they have been known to reply from time to time
