Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are contacting us because a friend has said that they took 100 tablets of some medication. You did not specify what the name of the tablets were but this sounds like a suicide attempt. I recommend that you call 911 immediately and have him/her taken to the hospital. Whether this is a lethal dose or not the attempt itself is dangerous and needs to be addressed.
Please call 911 immediately
