Overdose on alcohol, codeine and otc sleeping pills....?
I went clubbing last weekend and got into a fight with my boyfriend. I normally do not drink, and had 4 straight shots of bacardi. I vomitted most of it and passed out. Anyhow, i slept 3 hrs of it and when i woke up, i was very upset and depressed so i took 20 extra strength unisom sleeping pills (50 mg each) and 6 codeines on an empty stomach. I acted crazy, hallucinated, eyes bulged out, black outs, pale skin, however i did not go to the hospital. I was dizzy and fell so many times that i injured my jaw. My family took care of me, cuz i only told them about the codeine overdose and not alcohol or sleeping pills. It's been 5 days since then and i'm lucky to be alive. I feel very weak and tired, and i've been sleeping a lot. Do you think i will be fine? Will this effect me in long term?

I think you will be ok. You were lucky because you could have died. I won't suggest that again since you did try to commit suicide. No one is worth your life. Next time find a healthy way to cope.

Abusing pills like that can cause liver damage.
I'd get some blood work done if I were you.

i think u will be fine, but u have to understand we all hurt and most of us has thought of killing ourselves exspecially me the one thing that helps me is waiting. yes its hard but killing ur self has no time limit. give it an hour, give it a day , give it a week . hopefully ur thoughts will change and you will see something to live for. best wishes

You might want to check with a doctor to see whether there are any after effects of what you took, additionaly you might want to reevaluate your relationship if conflicts are driving you to take chemicals to aleviate your problems. I've done the same thing with alcohol when my relationship went south and more than a few times have come close to killing myself. Take it from me, no relationship is worth that. Love yourself first!
