Is painkiller overdosing lethal?

[sorrowfull user]

I wanted to know if overdosing on painkillers/specifically ibuprofen lethal or does it just lead to only side effects. And how much do i have to take?

I ODd with Ibuprofen a couple of times and even after eating multiple packets I was told I would not have died except for if my liver would have failed which would have been a horrible death spread over multiple days. Really dont recommend ODing with Ibuprofen or even Paracetamol because it just hurts and is really ineffective and a bad way to go - sorry!

No, you can't do it. The probability that you will die is maybe a few percent. You will most likely hurt yourself more than you help. It is possible that you will damage your internal organs. Likewise, do not try it with paracetamol or other similar substances.

Here you have the most popular methods on this website, maybe you will find something for yourself: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/suicide-resource-compilation.3/

Some painkillers are, but ibuprofen most likely is not. Youd have to be very lucky to actually overdose on it

No, ibuprofen won't kill you — you'll throw it up before it could do anything.

If you are interested in drug/med ODs you should read the PPeH. Painkillers won't kill you in the worst case they kill your liver and or kidneys and you suffer even more. Please don't try to OD on painkillers.

A Caution About Drug Poisonings (ODs) and Cutting

Preamble I see a lot of posts on this forum mentioning drug poisoning and/or cutting/stabbing as a method of choice. I want to caution these methods for a few reasons. I respect the right to choose any method but I'm concerned that those using these methods may not be fully informed on the...

There's a higher chance of you puking up the meds rather than it being absorbed by your body. The most lethal thing paracetamol poisoning can do is Acute Liver Failure which takes weeks/months before it ends your life.

You will not pass out and die quickly from it.

Please do NOT attempt this. It'll only increase your suffering.
