I'm very sorry to hear of your friend's condition. I think only those medical folks caring for her would possibly be able to answer the questions you have.

Wow, I am very sorry.I do however, have a hard time believing she could've possibly downed that many pills without dying. My mother attempted suicide by taking 12 ativan and was in a coma.
So the dose you described seems almost impossible to survive but I guess there are always miracles. If it wasn't her time, God must've kept her here for a purpose.

A good question is how long after she took the pills was she found by you and tx begun? If it was not long, and they pumped her stomach, her chances are good that she will probably be okay. Of course individuals all react differently to medications. I've never heard of a person being given a 3 month supply of meds though. What country is she in? I also hope she is all right. Fondly, Phillipa

Sorry, but please don't use this site to discuss specific ways of harming oneself, others might use it to do that.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

I am so sorry!! Do you know the dose she took...1mg, .5mg? How old is she? although whether its a half of what you said or not it is still ALOT of pills. All I can say and it may not help much but our bodies are amazing things, we can put them through so much and suprisingly be ok. I understand how you feeling it is agonizing to wait with no control or real info. IMO, I believe there is a good possibility she could be in a coma for a little while and then come to, likely with some damage but then there is also the possibililty she may not. I think it will help you if you consider both outcomes, as hard as it is. It was alot to take. Lets hope she wants to pull though and will find her way out. My thoughts are with you
(((starrc68))) This must be so hard for you

> candyDear one;
I am sure you are very upset [how could you not be?,] so Dr. Bob was only doing what he must to keep the posting following the rules. I'm sure he understands the amount of stress you are under, as do we all, so don't worry about your post. Many hugs for a needy lady, and keep us informed of progress. U'D
