The dose you are talking about is a lethal dose or could put you in a coma, cause heart failure, cardiac arrest and many other complications and life long problems, but at this high of a dosage would probably cause death if you were not gotten to the hospital in time. You should call (1-800-784-2433) or (1-800-273-8255). These are the numbers to the suicide hotlines. The is a free call and there are trained professionals 24 hours per day to assist you.
