Welcome! I wish we could meet under better circumstances. I am not sure what the answer is to this question. Meds effect each person differently. Your friend may have a higher tolerance for the meds & nothing would happen. Perhaps she would get very sick & vomit. Perhaps not. She might even succeed in her plan to end her life.


Whatever the reason that she's thinking about taking an overdose, you ought to see if you can get her some help. If she has a dr. or therapist, call them & report what you know. Take her to the local ER. If she refuses to seek help, call the police or an ambulance. They will know what the proper procedures are to maintain her safety. Even if she'd be angry, wouldn't that be better than having her dead? Can you get your friend to read this?
