Hi,
Although it is not clear from your query, I suppose you took those tablets in desperation or as an attempt to harm self. Helplessness and wishes to harm self are commonly associated with depression. You need to consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible to get proper treatment. Try to take help from your near and dear ones. With good family support and treatment, you can overcome your problem.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Tylenol is a paracetamol tablet taken for fever and pain.
you are supposed to take only a single tablet in 6 hours.Taking 13 tablets would cause paracetamol poisoning.
The symptoms which you mentioned are surely related to its overdose.
You did not mention how many hours ago you have taken them.
But then you consult a physician as early as possible.
Your Depression can be dealt later by consulting a psychiatrist by evaluating the cause for it and treating accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
I will be available for your follow up queries if any.
Wishing you good health / Speedy recovery.
Regards,

Hi dear
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
You should not take more than 4 tablets of Tylenol.Please visit a Psychiatrist and talk to him.There would be a cause for your depression .If that be evaluated , it is easy for you to come out of it.
I advise you to visit your Physician / Psychiatrist as early as possible to avoid any complications from taking 13 tablets.
Please consider this emergency and you need medical attention.
If you need more information or help feel free to mail me.
Take care
