Overdose on acetapminophen?

I've known all about the risks and i know a lot of people are gonna say get medical help immediately..

Im just honestly reaching out
Because i,have taken a lot of aspirin/tylenol l extra strength in the course of 31 hours.

This honestly would be 4th suicide attempt 3 being an OD

i went to the ER few days ago they didn't do a thing but hold me till i felt rdy to leave idk if because i didnt try anything or because i been admitted to two different clincs but still fighting my anexity and depression

Which now reading on how long an od of acetaminophen can take does make me worry and,could make matters worse

I do fight with an chronic illness called crohns which can even be worse

Idk really what im asking but reaching out for advice i want to seek help but after being dismissed so shorly ago raises my anexity and nervousnes to go back

I,will say i have taken aboit 25 - 325mg nsaid aspirin within a 9 hour time yesterday and today its been about 12,000mg of acetaminophen tylenol extra strength over 6 hours time so far today.. so idk what to expect if anything

We urge you to visit the ER immediately, as Paxiled stated.  Acetaminophen can do long-term damage, so even if you feel OK now, you need to get checked out and have an honest conversation with the doctor.  We hope you are OK - please let us know how you are doing.

Obviously you need to go the ER immediately.  But here's some advice:  don't try to commit suicide with either aspirin or Tylenol.  Aspirin might not kill you right away, but if you change your mind and decide to live -- and I'm guessing you wouldn't be writing this if you really really wanted to die -- you could still end up with a chronic and painful ulcerative condition.  Meanwhile, the Tylenol could end up giving a nice long slow deterioration due to liver failure.  Why not get help both mentally and physically so you can live a good long healthy life instead of doing things that will give you a bad long diseased life?  And now, if you really have done what you say you've done, please go to the ER and then to a psychiatric facility.
