I was planning on hanging, but I will admit I was having a bit of an anxiety attack and took a shit ton of expired metformin without thinking. Reading online, the chances of developing lactic acidosis with a dosage as high as mine is a lot more likely, but I'm not sure how much. Lactic acidosis can overwhelm the kidneys and easily be fatal, but I don't know how high the chances of death are, or how quickly the side effects start to appear, or how serious it really is. I didn't think through this attempt as thoroughly as I was planning my hanging so now I'm a little stuck. Is it worth it to wait and see if I developed it and die from that, or should I just go to the hospital now and save some heartache? I know overdoses are usually not very effective, but I don't know if this is serious enough to get pumped or anything.
