Hugs, BethRags. I'm so sorry you were feeling so extremely unwell that you decided to take so many pills in an effort to stop the pain. I'm glad you've seen your psychiatrist and will see your therapist very soon. I'm assuming you are feeling at least a little better by now? I hope so.

I don't know exactly what is and isn't considered an O.D. beyond what I could read about them online. All I know is that taking any amount beyond what is prescribed is a bad sign, and sometimes a very dangerous or fatal one.

I won't tell my whole story, but I'll say this. It isn't good to take more than you should. You definitely shouldn't drink excessively. Any extra amount can be dangerous. Hospitals and doctors take any extra amount seriously. Instead of resorting to an O.D. call someone for help or go to the hospital.
