How many sleeping pills would it take for someone to overdose?

I'm honestly just wondering.

All of them.

The problem with giving you an informatiove answer is that others will read it. There are any number of suicidal users on Answerbag at a given moment, as you can tell from the answers you've received. I am really sorry. I cannot answer the question for you. +5

an overdose is anything over the reccommended dosage so 3.

if youre wondering about a dangerous overdose this is what i know. 12 can fuck you up (hearing things and seeing ripples like water on solid objects). I've been scared for my life on 15 (i was massivly confused threw up and forgot how to breath which sent me into a panic for a moment till i remembered). 20 can give you seizures (I've had grand mals). someone can sleep off up to 35 (i have but would seriously not reccomend it). Ive never been to the hospital for any of this but probably should have been.

I was not suicidal just a really really bad insomniac. I've stopped since then I would much rather be exhausted constantly than worry about having seizures and my liver failing

you have problems dude.
depends on what kinda pill
and what m-gram

not sure... but I was so resistant at one time I once took 12 just to show my roommates it's ineffect on me. not sure how that would effect normal, or even my current resistance... but at one time 12 had no effect (though they could not have been good for my kidneys)

Ok, Probably about 12....But i wouldnt suggest it, swallowing 12 pills may seem easy but um well by the 5th one ya stuffed
Plus if ya dont die or anything and you get sick and the effects
they have to pump your stomach and needle you and IV you and my god it hurts like a bitch, so id suggest if you are considering it, dont.

Ignore those who fear for your safety and thus refuse to give you information. It's baed on the fact that they do not know the answer to your question and just want to sound protective.

I'm sure that 50 pills will seriously harm you, if not kill anyone who swallows it. I don't know about just one bottle of a couple dozens. Information about this type can be found on google.

It is okay to be curious as to how many pills a person took in order to die. Good luck finding the info you need.

i took a whole bottle of advil pm.. and all it did was make me very sick.. i was very tired and i did nothing but puke my GUTS out.. i was in a dream like state but i was awake.. it didnt kill me.. but im only 4'9 and weight 100 lbs. so if it didnt kill me then it might not kill you.. i did this to kill myself. i dont recomend anyone attempting to do it

It depends on the dose not just how many. Some pills are only 25 mg each, others are 50 or 100 mgs each. Obviously you would need more pills if you are taking only 25 mgs.

It also depends on the individual person. Some people are more sensitive to sleeping pills or have other health issues that make them more vulnerable, or if you are taking other medications, including other sleep aids, that may interact.

If you wish to die by overdose, the minimum dose for Diphenhydramine (examples: Benadryl, Nytol, Sominex, Tylonol PM) is 2800mg.

It doesnt necessarily mean that Phillis wants to end his life, he could very well just be curious, as am I. I know if you take too many, it just makes you sick, too little it messes up your kidney, there must be an exact dose. People use this method for suicide regularly. What would the EXACT dose be on a benzo such as Xanax on a 1.0mg?

Some people juss dont get that its your life and what you do with it is completely up 2 u!!!! so wat if theres people out there that never got 2 even take a breath there gone for a reason. if you have difficultys in life then yu have the right to leave on your own. nobody can say anything Bcuz they havent experienced death for themselfs if yu think thats wat yu want and yu are ready for the next life if theres even one then go ahead and do it! but if you do en at least leave a note for yur loved ones to let them kno that yu were 100% ready fer death.

i think this person is right to ask so what if people want to commit suicide they should be able to end their lives when they want as i do

Sad, very sad to see such little value on life placed by some here. Finding out information is not a problem, but devaluing life is---there is One who offers "life to the fullest." -John 14. I pray that you know Him.
