For OD call 911 NOW: If you are having thoughts of killing yourself, be seen at nearest ER now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255) for support. If you have taken an overdose call 911 now for immediate care. Med Stabilization or psyche admit may be needed

Don't do it: If you are thinking of harming yourself, go to the emergency room or if you feel out of control, call 911. Paracetamol will have you very, very sick and miserable for several days. You can find something better than death anywhere. Of people who've tried to end their lives and failed, 99% are glad, one year later, that they failed.
