Over dosage of Ibuprofen

sakit kepala masih seperti hari-hari sudah... berlarutan tak tau sampai bila. At times, I feel like commiting suicide. Terlalu sakit yang tak boleh digambarkan.

2 days back, a friend of mine brought this so called 'the strongest painkiller' from 2 different pharmacies. Both medicines contains high percentage of Ibuprofen. The friend also got me a box of sleeping pills. One tablet a day.
There is not a single day gone without the headache now and without knowing the side effects, I been taking those pills twice the amount recommended DAILY. Still, the headache has no sign of subsiding...

I came across an article in the internet on overdosage of Ibuprofen... Sangat menakutkan...

"According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one..."

"Ibuprofen Overdose can cause stinking vomiting, profuse sweating, severe abdominal pain, and can land you straight in the mental hospital for attempted suicide, where you may be medicated with things like liquid carbon or charcoal. Charcoal has the ability to absorb the drug before it can enter the systemic circulation."

"Some more side effects are unsteadiness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal, nausea plus vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, probable loss of blood in intestinal areas or stomach or both, headache, agitation, drowsiness, incoherence and confusion etc. Sometimes more serious symptoms are also noticed in some victims though very rare such as seizure, gastrointestinal bleeding, metabolic acidosis, respiratory depression, hyperkalaemia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, coma, hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, cyanosis, and cardiac arrest etc."

Ish... Yes, my eyesights are getting worse, now I can't even see things clearly even with my spectacles.
Respiratory depression, yup, that too.
Headache, agitation, confusion.... YES YES YES... all of that too...
Oh yes, I do have this very painful stomach ache...
Attempting suicide, YES YES Yes, I have that too....
Stinking vomiting, not yet.
OMG... What is happening to me? This is seriously scary...
I dont want to have internal organs failure. Then, what am I supposed to do? Go back home and seek treatment? Or resume daily life and tahan the kesakitan and hoping that I can get used to this pain?

I think the best way is, temporary hold my aim to continue my studies, and take care of my health. Kalau dah sakit teruk, apa pun takleh buat...
