My daughter just took about 6 ....2mg....pills. She has what the doctor called a mild case of Bi Polar...she is to take 1 pill per day...well we got into an argument over something stupid and she threw a fit...throwing her dinner across the kitchen room and them retreated to her room and downed the pills.....then drank a half of a wine cooler...I had no idea she took the pills until about 5 minutes ago...she said she couldn't stand up and crawled into bed....she told me she threw them up but I dont know....I dont know what and if 911 is to be called...should I just monitor her now for several hours or just call 911.....she has no medical insurance and this won't be cheap for her...what can you all suggest....please keep it real ok. Thank You in Advance.

Please call 911 immediately if you haven't done so already. You/she can worry about the financial consequences later.

Please let us know how your daughter is doing.

I second what Margo said.

Peace & Love,

call 911 cuz u don't know what permanent damage she has done! She needs major help so she doesn't do this again, please after all this take her to a meeting or rehab or something!

Alycia · 07-05-2007, 07:13 PM

I know she has to want to get help, but don't stop trying!

I sincerely hope you've called 911. I have several clients taking Risperdal. It's a heavy med.
