if someone were to take a dosage of 10-14 sleeping pills with a very small amount of alcohol could it affect the person’s heartbeat and brain? or is it usually just anxiety pains?
yea that’s what i was thinking. what are some helpful treatments?

Heartbeat could be slow, blood pressure low, breath slow and shallow. The person could lose consciousness, have hallucinations, or slower thinking. There may not be enough oxygen getting to the brain, so brain cells would die. A few people could have unexpected effects like agitation or anxiety. Death could occur, but not necessarily. It depends on weight, age, tolerance, diet, genetics, ect.
sounds to me like the person is already mentally ill…jus sayin’
it could kill them
yes it would affect their heartbeat and brain, adversely, not to mention prolly causing permanent painful conditions they would have to live with the rest of their life
Of course. It is not a game to play. It could result in permanent brain damage. Sounds like the person should seek immediate psychiatric treatment.
Nah. They wouldn’t even get sleepy.
it can cause death♦
overdosing on sleeping pills can KILL you.
Taking an overdose is serious. Psychiatric help is needed.
People always think that its going to end things, but in reality, failed suicide attempts are something a person has to live with the rest of their lives and if its damaging enough to a persons health, they have to deal with that afterwards (brain damage etc).
10-14 sleeping pills, wouldn’t do much, alcohol is never good with any medications. But most likely if they tell someone, their stomach would be pumped at the hospital.
lets put it this way micheal jackson isnt in the best of places is he lol
