chances of actually dying from untreated paracetamol OD

[pepperminttea]

anyone know? say like 32 500mg tablets, would that be enough?

Don't do it. It's an awful, painful death. If it did work, it could take a few of weeks of unbearable suffering as your internal organs shut down.

You'll also initially suffer from nausea and vomiting.

If it didn't work, you could do permanent damage to your organs

Chances are very high of failure.
As stated above it can be drawn out for weeks. Will wreck your liver and since you will most likely live the damage to your liver, life will be rather bad.

The thing is I ask because I've had untreated paracetamol OD's in the past, didn't vomit or anything and yes it was always painful but I'm still here. I guess I'm just curious about the actual amount that would cause death

It's not enough, and it would be an awful death anyway, please don't do it. Long and painful

In my younger days I used to OD on paracetamol and other pills thinking it would be easy it die, unfortunately not you end up vomiting what feels like your guts out, from what I remember I think I took 60 or more pills and I had no damage.

When I was a kid I believed that's how u suicide lol and I believed that it's quite easy

I OD'd on paracetamol in a past suicide attempt but ended up nauseous and vomiting the whole lot up with no internal damage. I don't recommend the method for anyone whose primary objective is a quick exit out of this world.

when I was 14, I had suicidal thoughts all the time. I felt bad about myself. One day I bought several boxes of paracetamol (doliprane in France) in several pharmacies. I ingested 25 grams in total one evening. The next day, I was very sick, nausea, stomach ache, I was bedridden. I didn't tell my parents. I did not have liver damage but in any case it was not enough to kill me
