Are 12 Paracetamol And 12 Fluoxetine Following Wine And Gin An Overdose?
On Monday evening, I took around 12 paracetamol and 12 fluoxetine following half a bottle of wine and about four double gins. I only have one kidney (following donating the other 3 years ago). I have been drinking quite a lot over the last 6 months, so may have early signs of liver damage. I m terrified of the way I ll be treated in hospital, or by the mental health team (long psychiatric history of depression). I currently feel ok, bar a headache. I know I m in the danger phase of the paracetamol overdose, but it wasn t that many... Was it?

Hi,
Suggestive of overdose or toxicity. Consuming wine along with 12 tablets of paracetamol and antidepressant fluoxetine can lead to liver damage and drowsiness, delirium, cardiotoxicity and coma. I advise you to go the emergency department of your nearby hospital for immediate care.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
