Yo this is amazing. I watch a lot of med-youtubers but your channel is something different. The way you go into depth on the chemical pathways is incredibly entertaining and educational, and it's something other youtubers tend to skip over. I think you've definitely hit a niche with your biochem videos.
Hey thanks, I really appreciate that! I have noticed some people skip over the pathways and such. Its important!
@@darkscienceyt I had 1 extra ml of this, is that bad?
Yes
@@darkscienceyt hi
@@darkscienceyt And it's also the most entertaining part!
Not my first choice for checking out. A friend of mine is a ICU nurse. Some years ago, she nursed a guy who had overdosed because his gf had left him. A short time after, he changed his mind and got help, but by then it was too late, the damage had been done. She nursed him whilst it took him 2 weeks to die from multiple organ failure. A very painful end and he truly regretted taking an overdose and really wanted to live at the end. So very sad.
Yeah....
I hope God forgave him
Bruh he didn't have enough reason then, I hate that I was saved and didn't regret for a second when I slit my wrist, it did hurt but life hurts more
@@mop2254 how would you know what God will and will not forgive? Even if they did exist! You are completely clueless. As are the rest of us. I suggest you behave that way. Especially considering pride is a sin. And you clearly take pride in not just promoting your religion, but also judging upon it.

@@mop2254 then thats sad and badluck for him...
This recomendation really knows what im thinking right now
Lol I tried its not fun don't do it it'll get u in all sorts of shit
it knows, it knows it all
Please don't do it. You matter. It will get better.
When you take too much and the anxiety makes you search this video and see this comment lmao
I've heard from many medical professionals, this method does not work 99% of the time. It just causes major damage and you're left worse off than before.
Reach out, talk to someone who knows what you're going through. You are loved, and the world would be darker without you. Don't let it win.
This is a worrisomely specific video for the algorithm to recommend... Does Big Data know something about my rate of paracetamol ingestion that I don’t?
I literally took 6 paracetamols yesterday and now I get this recommended to me........
The internet knows about my crippling codeine addiction
I was worried until I saw the daily dose can be 8 pills and an overdose 20 pills
@@Wilma_Dickfit_huh hmmm I disagree. Having a girlfriend is a headache. The algorithm knew you have a gf so probably taking lots of headache pills. Therefore, it recommended you this video
Just preparing people for the paracetamol challenge.
At age 15 my psychiatrist told me that if i were to unalive, he couldnt really stop me, but that i should at least never do it with paracetamol. 18 years later im still struggling, but im so, so glad that i had an honest doctor that gave me this information when i was young.
Too many of my friends went like this, and they never even knew what it would be like. They didnt deserve that.

Yt: How Paracetamol Overdose Works
Me: Well well, let's find out
It took me a moment to realize you meant you were staying up later than planned and not making a much darker joke, my bad lol
LOL, Me too! and so the evil YT cycle continues.

Many years ago, I tried to overdose on paracetamol twice. To my great disappointment (at the time) all that happened was that I got drowsy, fell asleep, woke up with a weird stomach ache (which I actually realise now was possibly my liver) and went about my day very much alive. I just came to the conclusion that you can't die of a paracetamol overdose. Guess i was wrong and very lucky.
The same thing happened to me! I also reached the same conclusion and feel lucky that I made it out okay (as far as I know). I hope you're doing better now :)
Children are remarkably resilent. Hearing about tylonel ODs as a teenager who took tylonel and ibprofen at 4-8 tabs at a time every 4-6 hours it’s a wonder how a lot of millennials aren’t dead sooner or Atleast have a higher rate of liver disease
What about taking 100 pills of 500mg at once? This is very high dose can cause liver damage and lead to death.
Did the same before just vomited the whole day but after that I got pain killer allergies.
I took a whole packet of paracetamol thinking it would be enough, ended up vomiting for 2 days with a big stomach ache but very much relatively healthy.
This was really interesting to watch. I have tried to overdose several times many years ago and ended up in hospital each time because I was found. I would have taken around 50g of paracetamol each time (100+ pills at 500mg) but I also had antidepressants and alcohol too. If you're watching this video because you want to attempt the please read:
When you take an overdose, I can't say for certain what it's like with only paracetamol but I think overdosing is similar regardless of what you take (speaking from experience), you get very drowzy, woozy, and generally out of it. Your body starts becoming very ill and likely you will throw up a lot since it is trying to get rid of the crap you've just ingested and meanwhile you are so tired, so weak, and everything feels a bit surreal almost like a choppy nightmare, or blacking out and doing stuff but not remembering it. I was put on a drip for 24 hours each time, then discharged, but you're so tired and out of it that you don't really know what's going on for a lot of that time.
As far as long term damage goes, I am certain that I will have liver damage although I have not been tested, it just seems like I couldn't fully bounce back from all those attempts. And also, you'll probably have a really hard time taking paracetamol or anything else you took for a while because just the smell let alone the taste if it's in your mouth for too long will make you want to throw up again. It will make you feel so gross, I have only just been able to take paracetamol without wanting to throw up and it's been almost 10 years.
In conclusion, just don't do this. It's a horrible experience, it's long and painful, it will wreck your body maybe even long term, and it's very likely to fail because of numerous factors, many mentioned in the video.
I always hated it when people told me that things would change and life would get better because I thought it was bullshit and that it was such a token gesture, and I still think that's true. It CAN get better, you put the same effort you are into wanting to die into recovery and keep holding on. Don't indulge in the suicidal thoughts, don't act on them. Just do whatever you feel you can to be better and your hard work will pay off. If you keep living the same and trying to kill yourself, things will not get better. It took over 10 years for me, but it did happen and if you'd told me all those years ago that I would get to a point where I am enjoying life, no longer suicidal, in a stable relationship and achieving my goals I wouldn't have believed it. Maybe you don't believe it either. But please at least believe that you do have the power within you to completely turn your life around, you and you alone. You really are that strong and you can do it.
Edit 22.7.23: I wrote this comment when I was in the midst of an abusive relationship, but thought it was stable due to denial. You know, whatever hardships you go through, there is always better. Even back then, I was secretly suicidal but I pushed through because I believed there would be better. Even when I didn't, when I was convinced I'd be dead by the end of last year (2021) because I couldn't handle the abuse anymore... I found it in myself to leave, to have hope for a better life. And a better life has come, even though I am still in therapy. I wish I could express how much my heart aches for everyone who watches this video or reads my comment because they want to overdose. For two years, I have come back to this comment countless times to reply to people who have come here seeking help, reassurance, kindness, or whatever else they need. You are loved, and one day I hope you love yourself enough to know this in your own heart as I do in mine.
I will always be here for you, send a comment and I will reply. There's nothing better in this world than to connect with people who share your pain, to feel like you're understood and that you can find a way. I will gladly share yours x
glad things changed for you, all the best for your life :]
@@dipdip7250 Thank you :)
Im tired of this shit bro. I just can't do well in my studies there's too much pressure on me im addicted to my phone and i feel like my life will never get better. My parents keep scolding me for my grades and im just so tired and depressed.
Update: im doing so much better now and i am finally feeling happy for the first time in 2 years. Thank you all so much for the support
@@AreeeAsh How old are you? In my teens it honestly felt like this was just gonna be my life and nothing would be better ever and that life just gets more shit from here on out. Thankfully though, life get a lot more interesting the older you get and trust me it's worth wading through the bullshit to experience. Are your parents aware of how you are feeling, and how the pressure is making things harder? If you are able to express this to them, maybe they can help you out instead of making things worse. If that isn't an option, have you tried calling a helpline before? Sometimes being able to vent to someone in confidentiality can make a huge difference in the weight you carry each day. Talking is healthy, and you are very worthy of being listened to.
Try not to be so hard on yourself though too - trying to get anything done when you're depressed is hard enough let alone trying to study and retain information. Realize that you are doing your best, and that's all anyone can ask for - not everybody will understand your struggles but they are real and you can't expect yourself to be 100% all the time running on little sleep and depression. Do your best to eat enough, drink enough, go for a walk when you can or play some sports, it's cliché but all these little things add up to a healthier mind and body in the long run and you deserve to be healthy and happy.
Also, again I don't know how old you are, but I am guessing in your teen years. Think back to as early as you can remember, how old were you? How long did that feel, and how much changed in that amount of time? You likely have 3-4x that much life left to live, maybe more, think of how much change will happen in those years. I know it's hard to think that far ahead when you feel like this, but give it a try. Life changes all the time and struggles shift and fade away. Soon enough you'll be out on your own not living with your parents and you'll be free to live your life the way you want to. You will have different pressures, but you will find that you can deal with them and that will give you confidence and a self-esteem boost. Your brain will settle down and stop giving you so much grief mentally as it becomes fully developed in your 20's, and nobody can tell what kind of good things will come into your life. All you have to do is be there to experience it :)
I very sincerely hope that things start looking up for you - one day you'll look back at these painful years as something you are proud to have made it through.
thank you i really needed to hear this
My dad died of this when I was 9. It was unintentional tho. He just took too many over a long period of time because of pain issues, which ultimately led him to feeling really ill one day, without knowing the Paracetamol was the cause. He died in his sleep later that night of heart failure. So yea, be careful with any kind of medicin guys. I wish he knew this back then.
Your dad died when he was 9??? Whattttt?????

Ive heard this is one of the most painful ways to overdose, my friend called a poison control hotline to try to find out how much to take to end his life and they described to him how hed die.
Sadly, he did end up taking his life in another way.

@@mattthx50 technically you /CAN/, but that doesn't mean you /SHOULD/. OP didn't disclose that info for a reason I'm pretty sure.

I've been in a similar situation and it's horrible, feeling that if you'd just done more to help him that he'd still be here. All the wishing in the world won't bring a lost soul back, and it's a very difficult truth to accept. Try not to beat yourself up about it too much though. He's hopefully in a better place now, free from the suffering he endured in this world. From one random stranger on the internet to another, I hope for the best for you going forward. 💛

Hi, not trolling or anything but what's that date format? D/Y/M?
I have a chronic health condition and take a lot of Tylenol and am always scared it will affect my liver. This video helped me realize I’d need a LOT more than what I take to cause damage so thanks!
Chronic use can be harmful even at therapeuric doses
That's so me with my migraines lol I used to take it A LOT between 2018 and 2020 but it stopped working in the doses I used, now I take another kind of tylenol (it was caffeine with it) and my rule is: only for pain 6 and above OR if the pain doesn't go away with other methods + lasts for hours. And my other rule is I can only take one in every 48 hours except if it's urgent (which in 8 months of using it has never happened thankfully). After so many medications stopped working (or never really worked) if this one stops working too I don't know what would be my solution!
Get a blood test before reaching conclusions
try smoking weed and see if that helps
You should be aware that the 4g per 24 hour limit is for short periods only. If you need to take it for longer periods the general advice seems to be not to use more than 3g per 24 hours (6 tablets at standard 500 mg strength). But if you are needing to use it for long periods it would be wise to check with your doctor as chronic paracetamol use is not necessarily ideal and there may be more suitable treatment options available to consider.
Just a bunch of people who wanted to know if ODing on paracetamol would have a high success coupled with a painless death.
I'm not suicidal anymore but thanks for the recommendation youtube !
i haven;t watch the video but paracetmol has a very painful death
My dads a Garda policeman and every week they have people who commit suicide in ways they think are painless but are instead horrible slow deaths. For example many people try to hang themselves and instead of breaking their neck they slowly suffocate with the tips of their fingers torn away wrong trying to lift themselves up. Long story short don’t kill yourselves

As a person who has overdosed on this stuff, let me just confirm to you all that it's excruciatingly painful.
You have no idea there’s days I’m screaming for hours
Can also confirm. I was bringing up bile by the time I presented at hospital and they kept me there for seven days.

Aww fk, I was hoping to suicide this way but hearing it's really painful I change my mind.
Time to find another way then
Tell me in detail
I remember several years ago I suffered from severe depression and mental disorder. I was addicted to illicit pills, alcohol, and smoking until I was recommended for psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against anxiety and depression.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I had the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.

This is the kind of stuff UA-cam should be reccomending and people should be watching
Informative, usefull and straight to the point. Knowledge is always good, and when it's explained simply, it's just amazing.
I knew someone who took a paracetamol overdose. He apparently 'changed his mind' after ingesting three packs of tablets (48 pills) and sort help via the local A&E but the damage was done. He suffered a horrible slow death.
That’s really sad
I took the same amount but nothing happened.
Can you guarantee it will do the job?
I've overdosed with paracetamol and antibiotics 6 months ago and I must say, it was shitty. So if you're thinking of overdosing, just don't do it. I threw up every hour for 2 days straight. It felt like I was having a hangover for the whole week and my stomach hurted as if my insides were upside down. And, I was traumatized to drink any type of medicine or even swallowing big portions of food. Sometimes I don't even want to drink water because it just reminds me of the texture and the taste of the medicine. Even looking at someone drinking paracetamol/antibiotics makes me want to throw up. Sometimes life gives you problems and it seems like even breathing is a hard thing to do. But life gets better. I'm still trying to enjoy life and to love and have confidence in myself. After all of the attempts that I did to end my life, and failing them, it just made me realize how important life is. I failed to end my life because I will succeed in living. Maybe not today, but I know I will someday. And i know you will too. Hold on and just keep swimming :)

@@saraharroyo3333 i'd actually think it would deter them, considering explaining how it could hurt you also would make you conscious about the pain it causes, and thus making you less likely to try and do anything with it, but interesting point...
@@saraharroyo3333 The alternative else much feels like imprisonment. Be nice to know a good panacea if it’s ever warranted.
Chubbyemu does stuff like that, but he rarely talks about actual deaths, just serious injury. The only time I remember him talking about a death was of some celebrity alcoholic.
This was really interesting to learn about. Very clear and thorough too. Thanks for making this!
Pov: Your youtube recommendation get weirdly and dangerously accurate.
I got jaundice induced by paracetamol when I was 15 years old. My eyes turned yellow, urine yellow and 💩 was wheat flour coloured. It took me a month to recover and I used to have no appetite and no energy.
Liver is very important organ of our body so protect it against any sort of abuse.
Did u go to a hospital dude?
Tried it once about 25 years ago, about 80 paracetamol and a bottle of vodka, crawled into some bushes to go to sleep but somebody must have somehow found me. Woke up in hospital about 3-4 days later after a complete 100% black out, must have still been feeling depressed when I came around as my first words when my eyes came back on line were 'Oh god, I am still here' and a couple of doctors saying something like 'Hmm yes?'
Paracetamol is really not something to mess around with as without treatment death can be long and painful.
People, please be safe. If possible, please talk to somebody, just anybody. Seek assistance. There is somebody who wants to help you. Just do not be alone, even if that's all you care about. It's tough especially right now, but there are places you can call, people who want to hear your voice even if it's from afar, just search anything you can find and ask where to look for. Your pain is big enough, you have a right to feel cared for. Be vulnerable, don't consume yourself. Please be safe.

I don’t understand, what’s wrong with wanting to rid the burden of loved ones? I’m worthless and a complete failure, I’m just not cut out for life, what’s wrong with wanting to end that?
Talking doesn’t do shit
@@monsecko4792 It's not a complete do-it-all solution, that's for sure, but it does do shit.
@@CatONineCheese Do you actually think your loved ones wouldn't have the burden of losing you for the rest of their lives? You existing is not a burden. Your pain is a burden your not supposed to carry alone, that's not how humans were made to live. Your worth is not connected to how much you win or lose, how effective or prosperous you are. If the world tells you that the fault is in the world, not you. It's the pain telling you that, it doesn't make it true. I can't give you the meaning of life, I struggle with my worth like you do. But ending it all is not a solution. I've feared for the life of a loved one, leaving my loved ones behind is such a horrid idea it's what has kept me here at the worst of it. Making that decision doesn't end the pain, just shifts it. They can take you hurting, they can take your despair, but I tell you, they can't take losing you.
People in the comment section casually recommending others ways to commit suicide is really f**ked up
It’s such a terrible way to do it as well. You’ll just damage your liver and need a transplant, meaning someone else goes without one as the donor list is really short
How can they offer advice they didn’t do the job very well themselves
You're f_cking up here in between suiciders is f_cked up
I remember being extremely depressed and addicted to sleep to escape from it. One day in bed I noticed my big bottle of Tylenol. I stared at it for a long time, then decided it would hurt my family and decided against doing anything.
Thank God I didn’t do it. Things got better. Still very rough sometimes, but definitely better. Taking better meds and working on my mindset with occasional therapy and CBT.
I took around 50 Panadol tablets when I was 15, can confirm this is excruciatingly painful. The paramedics & nurses told me it’s one of the slowest & most painful ways to go, I’ve never done anything so stupid again 👍
Yes, it’s slow but this is not really painful. You just feel very very tired and stunned until you recover or die.
Damn 50 pills yet you survived?...and does the pain feel like a stomach ache?
Did you start hallucinating?
@@pauline3775that is absolutely not true. As someone who OD‘ed on 40 paracetamol pills at the age of 16, what makes suicide attempts with this pill so difficult is by far the pain and nausea that comes with it. I spent over 3 hours vomiting and at the end I was feeling like I was about to spit out blood because I felt like my esophagus was absolutely ripping apart and my stomach was failing.
Your body will reject the overdose and do everything to get it out; such as giving you agonizing stomach ache and extreme nausea. Only in rare cases or in cases with smaller doses you become tired or stunned - over 30 pills will definitely make your body go into agony-mode.
Please don’t spread misinformation on the net - people like you are the reason who passively convince suicidal people to OD on these type of pain medications because they’re not painful and only cause tiredness - especially suicidal teenagers such as I years ago. You probably didn’t have bad intentions but confidently telling people that overdosing on paracetamol is not painful at all is straight up bullshit and dangerous.
It actually requires more than a few days for the body to shut down, and until then you’ll be in a horrific state of pain.
@@ninja4O5I‘m not sure if OP is a rare case but usually when a person overdoses of a painkiller such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, they don’t hallucinate. It has happened but it’s very rare - atleast I didn’t.
I found my friend after he had taken two bottles of Tylenol and whatever prescriptions he had on hand. I almost left the room because I thought he had just passed out from drinking. I’m glad I didn’t.
Is he okay?
This channel is something else, no bombardment of info, explaining complex subjects and breaking them down (pardon the pun) into smaller easy to understand concepts. The one thing I've learnt though is a cause of liver related heart failure. It's such a broad term and I know paracetamol OD is deadly but this video is great for people who don't have a clue about compounds, the role of the liver in the body etc to easily understand without prior knowledge of the topic. You have a skill! There are many teachers, but not many know how to teach. You would make a great teacher.
This channel is so underrated tbh
I knew a 22 year old man who died from this, it was truly horrible to see as his liver stopped working.
He took 8 paracetamol tablets at a time every few hours.
People think its harmless because its not a prescription medication and is available in supermarkets.
Cherries are available in supermarkets too. Two ground up pits contain enough cyanide to kill you. Isn't that crazy?

@@johno9507 Oh so you think it was an accident? I thought it was dangerous because people act out of a whim when their depression gets really bad. Yeah it should really be on the bottle then. Like very clear: overdose (>6/d) may cause death 💀 But eight indeed seems like not that many.
As for cherries, no one usually bites down on the pit, so I guess it's safer in terms of accidental misuse.

Super interesting, but a minor correction from a chemist, NAPQI, doesn't have an aromatic ring in it, as it would require a carbon with 5 bonds. Instead you have a 6 membered ring with just 2 double bonds and the carbonyl.
I overdosed on paracetamol lol no one even knew, I do not recommend it’s horrible i threw up like 100 times and idk if it was the paracetamol or sleeping tablets but one of them made me loose half my memory from that night and the morning after

Ahaha although I got sick a lot during the week
same i did it too when everybody was home but nobody noticed. i was laying in my bed for like 3 hours unable to move and went throwing up after
@Billy Thekid no you induce vomiting next to straight after ingestion not even activated charcole can help after 3 hours the antidote is only guaranteed to work 8 hours after ingestion (by the time it damages the liver-kindeys and death only insulates after a few days of pain from your failing organs

The drug “NAC” saved my life because when I was 17 I took 100 Tylenol pills each pill was 500mgs. It was a suicide attempt but after about 2 hours the nausea and pain became unbearable I had second thoughts and chose to get help before it was too late. I realized that this wasn’t the way to go at all and I’m glad I chose to get help because now I’m 21 and feeling better than ever with my mental health
Yes. N-acetylcysteine or NAC is antidote for paracetamol overdose.
How did you get 100 pills of paracetamol? The pharmacy is unlikely to want to sell it in large doses unless you buy small amounts and stockpile them for future execution. It wasn't difficult to get that many pills.
For example, first week go to pharmacy A buy 10 tablets of paracetamol, then next week go to pharmacy B to buy 10 tablets and do the same for other pharmacy. This drug is easy to stockpile because very easy go get them without prescription, the only thing need is time.

This was recommended on the home page, and now will look really suspicious on browser history
Some pills are doses of 1g and not 500 mg, I believe it's important to note since you give the amount at which toxicity starts
And what happens if one takes just one pill or 1gm/500mg under the 6gm threshold?
@@raresmuntean257 Once? You would probably be alright, so long as you have a healthy liver. A one-time dose for someone with a "standard" body can often go a little over without major toxic effects. If you have any issues that would impact your liver or general metabolism though, or if you take these elevated doses repeatedly, you will fare worse. And of course, there is personal variance in metabolism... you could always just be in the worst 5% of the population in terms of handling APAP. There is a degree of buffer space built into these recommendations, but it doesn't pay to fool around with them unless there is a need commensurate to the potential risk. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, etc.
I strongly suggest talking to your doctor before using any large doses of OTC medication, or before using any medication in a way not explicitly recommended by the manufacturer.
@@raresmuntean257 If there is overdose and there is too much for liver to handle, Doesn't body know how to remove it unmetabolized?
Like, throw up or piss it out.
If Methanol poisoning is treated by blocking Methanol's route to liver, would something like that work too?
I don’t know why this got recommended to me but if it does for anyone else or they are searching this up cause they are thinking of doing this please just read what I say next.
When I was 17 I decided to take nearly 40 paracetamol tablets one night at around 7-8pm (the time comes back into it). I went to sleep not really sure what was going to happen, I didn’t know if I’d just pass in my sleep (I did think it was pretty unlikely) or if I’d wake up in the middle of the night sick as hell. I woke up at 5:30am the next morning to go to work and I remember throwing up once before I left and I felt quite okay afterwards. I went to work and was okay physically from 6am when I started work until about 9am. I remember feeling that exact pain described in the video and throwing up just a yellow liquid, I drank some water and kept working until the water I drank came up about 5 minutes later. No matter what I ate or drank no matter how small it was my body would reject. At this point I hadn’t told anyone about what I had taken I just played it off as a stomach bug and my boss sent me home. I still didn’t anyone and just went to try sleep it off. I woke up a couple hours later feeling quite normal again so I had a glass of water, within 30 seconds I was throwing it up and my stomach was in so much pain I had to call my dad to take me to the hospital (I was home alone at that point) it wasn’t until we got to the desk at the hospital that I told them what I had taken and how many they rushed me in and gave me a bunch of medicine which my body also rejected, morphine wasn’t working so they had to me put me on a fentanyl drip. What I thought would be a visit for a few hours turned into 8 days in a hospital bed with needles in my arms pumping fluids into my body. For the first 6 days I couldn’t eat or drink water without throwing up and was only hydrated through another drip. Before this all took place I was healthy and active but pretty light compared to most boys my age I weighed about 68kg (roughly 150 lbs) at 17 years old and 6 feet tall. I am 22 years old now and my appetite and weight has never recovered. Look after your body, I deleted any photos of me prior to overdosing because I hate being reminded of a healthy body I just threw away.
I'm very sorry
Here's a little extra tip: NAC, while also a required material to metabolize paracetamol, IS ALSO AN OVER THE COUNTER COUGH MEDICINE! Make sure to take that together with paracetamol if you are having a respiratory infection, as these two medicines synergize very well with eachother.
NAC also kick starts tumor growth, so be careful.
@@davecom3 really? I've searched about this for s while and only now finding out about this. Where did you see that
(I'm in a much better place but I thought it would be good to share to discourage) I took 2/3X lethal dose, was in hospital for about 3 days. I was very sick and was vomiting every five minutes and couldnt keep anything down. My stomach was really sore and I was dizzy and dehydrated. Was on three sets of drips and a medication to make me vomit anything out that my body may have been digesting. Took me a few weeks to feel "normal" again and now I have severe p*ll anxiety. Don't do it lads.
im glad ur better now dude 💜
What's with the people who think they are cool just because they overdosed on paracetamol?
@@curlyefrain9879 they are warning people... they know it ain't cool bro......🙄
oh fuck man im sorry to hear this. i often overdosed on them as a kid trying to end myself. i would take enough to overdose on paracetamol (1g pills 10 times) and heartmeds for my brother when he wouldnt take em and other painmeds. it somehow never did more than make me woozy. this is now around 18 years ago but i have tried to overdose on lotsa meds in my young years but for some reason it never made me extremely sick...i found out that my body simply barely accepts those meds and now that i have chronic pain nothing works and they only give me paracetamol etc cuz eu. i wonder if my resistance is due to trying to overdose so often. its weird
@@meirin5316 that is strange. Maybe your body just has paradoxical effects and you don't feel them like most other people.

how fucked up is it that in all honesty, suffering extreme physical pain from poisoning for a few days doesn't sound that bad to me? it's a horrible way to go, obviously, but compared to the years of psychological and physical pain I've been through... it's just days.
My nigga you have no fucking idea it’s not just a few days it’s months screaming and the worst part is your friend and family just think there’s something wrong with your head and think your faking the whole thing. There’s not a single second that in but in some type of pain mostly my heart.
I’m thinking the same
Two years ago I read from news that a 16-year old had, for some reason, taken plenty of paracetamol with alcohol over the evening. He got a liver failure and died a week later. Can't even imagine what he would think on his death bed. Meds are no joke.
Maybe he wasn't okay.
'For some reason' aint no one taking shit tons of paracetamol with alcohol for no reason lmfao
I'm sure he regrets it.
I'm a ER doctor and pls read this if you are thinking of overdose
It's a very painful and slow way to die. You get drowsy way later so you don't even get to go to sleep
It's terribly painful
Worst thing is, because it's a slow process, you have time to think clearly and recognize the value of your life , but it'll be too late.
All the patients I've seen die from this were practically begging us to save them.
But by then there was nothing we could do.
Even if you can't see a way out, there's always one. If nothing is working just up and leave everything, it's better than dying.
The explanation is really easy to understand even for me who knows nothing about chemistry, thanks and great work! :D
...... this is the greatest explanation at the simplest and most effective way.
Thank you! I appreciate that
I survived a paracetamol overdose when I was seventeen. Not sure if I'm happy I did, not sure what damage I did with my body, but trying to live day by day. One step at a time.

yeah i remember when i was in hospital as a teenager patients that had taken massive paracetamol overdoses i even saw a guy being rushed up a ward to be taken down to A&E to get his stomach pumped i asked what happened to him and was told he was in a coma in intensive care fighting for his life apparantly they cause liver failure always remember this
Funny how I was talking about paracetamol yesterday and today I got this
I’m nothing like y’all 😎
Im 15 and wanna commit it, but tbh im scared if the process is gonna hurt me... Idk i wanna to d!e but im also scared if the process hurt, and also i really wish i could just
d!e on my sleep so i dont have to suffer the pain..
And my plan is to purchase lots of paracetamol pills online so no one knows about it, and im gonna swallow 20 of it(but idk if its enough to make me die) and the only thing that im worry about is the process, and also what if i failed and still alive?? Then this all situations gonna be worse than ever.

Two years ago I’d do little “tests” with myself when I had had a lot to drink and was feeling depressed. I remember the first trial starting with 16. The last time I did it I took a handful, no longer counting. That last time I made myself so sick I had never experienced such stomach pain or vomited so hard before or since. I haven’t tried anything like this again. Thank you universe. Things got better and sometimes they got worse but I’d still take the hand I was dealt than quit playing all together.
Great explanation. You even convinced me that paracetamol might not be a placebo effect after all.
Needed this just in case 😊 (deffo didn’t od)
Thanks I will find another way
damnit man please don’t do anything to harm yourself again. Suicide isn’t easy and it isn’t meant to be, you’re just going to fuck up your organs and make living life even more tough.
oh so you can like play with paracetamol and then go to the hotspital lol this is the only drug that is so friendly
😅😅😅😅
I took over 30 paracetamol pills in an attempt to take my life at 12-13. I woke up the next morning feeling horrible, and my mother had no idea what I'd tried to do the night before. I didn't tell anyone until about a month later. It's been about 10 years since. I had no idea how fatal it could be, I just figured I either hadn't taken enough or it wasn't going to work.
Oh men i ate approx. 30 tablets as you and at ICU they were solving it pretty serious. It is possibly fatal dose. You were just lucky.
I overdosed on paracetamol and a mixture of other pills a few years ago so I could go to the hospital to get out of my horrible home at the time. ⚠Don't reccomend⚠
They gave me an extremely nasty charcoal drink that still haunts me to this day, after trying to drink half it got to the point if I smelt or looked at it I would quiver and throw up. Also it absolutely did not relieve any pain I had at the time. Also after this incident my knees keep turning black like bruises when standing up for a while and nobody knows why....
Eventually it goes away tho
i assume you will never see this but i went through the same experience, after throwing up twice from the charcoal water stuff they preceeded to tell me it wasnt needed anyway.... will never forget that charcoal stuff

"You liver gives up and then your heart gives out and it hurts the whole time dying over several days. Don't do it." My advice to a suicidal junkie...
It is very disrespectful to name anyone a suicidal junkie...what gives you the right to call em that way life is unfair and if the cards were different would you want to be called a suicidal junkie... People grow up in different ways and many circumstances and situations trough out life can make anyone flip the switch and go from good to bad person or vice-versa. Your life is not over yet you still gonna live many years be careful who knows that one day you may become what you despise or fear

We often refer to paracetamol as paraplacebomol. Really only handy for headaches. We often would see Saturday night OD’s. Only saw two successful attempts, and they took a few days to succumb, enough time to think things over.

very very important video, to atleast remember that overdosing of paracetamol is very easily neglected.
Just got out of the ICU due to liver failure, had basically the same symptoms of what would happened if I did overdose on paracetamol (which I didn't). Definetely sucks and would be a bad way to die.
This is really hard to follow, but I'm glad you provide the details. I'll just pause or rewind when needed
I OD'd like 5 days before my 17th birthday. I went on a walk right after because I assumed it would effect me quickly. Then i went home and went to bed. I remember maybe waking up and throwing up on my pillow and then at 8am the next morning i woke up in like unbearable pain and i waited. For 2 and a half hours, throwing up and dizzy just waiting for it to take me. And then i couldn't handle it anymore and I called 999. I spent a week in hospital and a week in a psych ward. Because by the time i got to the hospital all the meds were in my bloodstream. So there was lots of projectile vomiting and agonising pain. It also probably didn't help that i hadn't eaten for 3 days before my OD. I remember the doctors talking about liver failure and being given potassium because apparently ODing on paracemtol makes your potassium super low? Anyways, I'm almost 23 now so....thats cool but this was super interesting to know about the science behind it
I had a small liver damage in 2015, but the cause was not an overdose, by the time I was taking 2g of paracetamol per day about a week. The catch? I was sick, was infected by dengue an zykavirus, yes a coinfecction by both viruses, that infection realy damaged my liver to the point that small doses of paracetamol had the same impact of an overdose. It took a month of treatment with NAC to recover, and I almost died.
very good explanation 😊, thanks! 👍
Does anyone know another way to die that isn't this slow and painful? And how do people overdose and die if their body vomits the paracetamols out instantly?

Awesome video! Really thorough and well explained!
Much appreciated!
Great I’ll take 20 pills thanks for the info
Thank you for explaining the mechanism how Paracetamol works which shows that even in therapeutic doses this painkiller is toxic because it's slowing down the healing process...that's why I never take them. Painkillers usually do more harm than good

This video answers a curiosity I had for a few years! I couldn't imagine paracetamol overdose to be so bad!
I began being curious about paracetamol overdose because I remember reading on the information sheet of another medication, acetylcysteine, that it could be used as an antidote (as intravenous infusion).
l had to take acetylcysteine for some lung problems (I had a serious pneumonia in summer 2019 and other breathing problems in the previous months) and I had the feeling that my body didn't go along that well with that medication (especially as aerosol, but also as a drink - which the doctor gave me to try to make it more bearable for me, even if it is supposed to less effective than aerosol), so I started wondering what would happen in the unlucky situation of a paracetamol overdose and what a paracetamol overdose is like (which I never had the desire of experience, even more after this video).
I always pay attention to what's written in the information sheet; in case of paracetamol I never take more than 3x 1000mg pills per day (one every 8 hours), no matter what... maybe I could take it 10 minutes earlier if I'm in a really bad condition, but that's it. I had to use paracetamol because of that pneumonia in summer 2019 and it was painful to wait between each dose, because it did only so much, but there was no way I would risk to make things even worse by overdosing. To be honest, I'd rather be healthy!
By the way, it sucks not going along well with a medication as useful as acetylcysteine which, as far as I know, most people have no issues with.
Nice work! Can you maybe cite the sources you have used? I need them for an important assignment:))
I had severe back problems a couple of years back and, one day, lost count of how many Paracetamol I'd taken. Not good - felt very weird for a few days (like I'd drunk a couple of strong beers) and pee turned brown. I recovered okay, no long term damage. Now I'm very wary. Paracetamols work great, but I limit them to 2 in a day - and I have to be feeling pretty bad to take them at all.
Still too much yo, you need pur water and salted good hamburger. That's terrible
