I ODed on prescription drugs last night......(kinda long)
Original post by GinaBambina08
What a nightmare....yesterday, I got my period unexpectedly while I was out at a diner with FH's family (hope i'm not making anyone we're all girls here!)...I had to run out in the middle of lunch and find the nearest supermarket to buy some goods...anyway, after dinner, we had to go to a baby shower for his cousin...my cramps started getting crazy so I asked FMIL for some tylenol...she gave me some prescription medication (IBUPROFEN) and I guess the dosage was really high because 20 minutes later, I was out of it! I couldn't walk on my own, I was trembling, and I was a blubbering mess, I couldn't focus and people are now telling me that my eyes were rolling in the back of my head...they were going to call the ambulance but I didn't want to get my stomach pumped so I just toughed it out...so me and FH spent the whole night in his aunts bedroom with him holding a bucket near the bed while I hyperventilated....so embarassing I think it was a combination of the heat, the drugs, and my period....I'm better now but could it have gotten any worse! FH was really there for me though...he's the best

That is so scary! I'm glad you're okay! I know when I get craps, I would take anything to make them go away!!!

its not that you od'ed but sounds more like you had an allergic reaction to the medication
yes that too, if you took 4 and then passed out you'd be ODing. I would take a look at the contents of the drug just to make sure you don't do this to yourself again.

HOLY SH*T....I can't believe that! How high was the miligrams on the Ibuprofen? I would have been a crazy wreck and went to the hospital. I'm so glad you're ok though.

I OD'd on Advil once and my stomach was a mess. I had the worst stomach cramps ever and could not get off the toilet. sorry if that's tmi, but it's true and it was horrible!

thanx so much girls! I don't know what the formal definition of ODing is, but I just figured that that's what happened because I took too much than I should have and had a bad reaction to it...it definitely could've been worst, I'm grateful everything worked out... so I know you girls have probably heard this before....but here's a word of advice: don't swallow any random, unknown pills that someone hands to you!

Do you know what kind of med it was? Bec ibuprofen is just Advil or Motrin, no prescription needed, unless it was a high dosage.

It was in a prescription bottle and it definitely wasn't a regular over the counter drug....FMIL said they were painkillers but the only ingredient was ibuprofen...it was definitely a higher dosage than the typical advil or aleve but I didn't think I would have a reaction to it because i'm popping aleve all the time either because it's that time of the month, ot i'm having a killer headache..

Maybe bec it was the time of the month it made you get an even worse reaction to the med. Did you eat anything with it? Maybe thats why. Yeah alot of people are allergic to meds like that. I hate to take pills but I have to take a muscle relaxer for my back and ribs or something for my headache, cramps etc etc. Last time something happened to me like the way you described was when I drank tooo much vodka, OMG never again will I do that
