OTC Medication Warning Video

In September 2008 I almost died from an accidental chronic Tylenol poisoning. I was in ICU for 3 days and was very, very sick. I want to use this negative experience to prevent others from accidental poisoning.

I overdosed on regular aspirin, 17, 325 mg about an hour ago.. I'm really scared. I don't want to tell any one, I was stupid, I did it on impulse because of stress. I hope I pull it through.

@xXGaMaZXx I tried to mssg you but it says your account is no longer active. I've been where you are & it is NOT worth it to die. Sometimes it may feel that way, but it ISN'T worth it. Please believe me on this. There are times I still feel that way but I know that I can't keep those thoughts in my head for long. It's hard to start thinking differently but it's worth it. Youi'll be missed if you leave this world whether you know or not. Call the suicide hotline in the US it's 1-800-SUICIDE.

I knew a girl who tried to commit suicide in HS w/ tylenol. I knew it damages liver, I always avoided it and opioids that have it. My liver's good too, waiting for disability and homeless not much to do but drink, always said that cranberry was keeping my insides clean... Ur lucky 4 ur fiance, I almost laid down and died a mo. ago having a heart attack an not sure anyone would even notice for who knows how long b4 making a call... I'm getting set up w/ home health now. It's terrifying.
