Hi, my friend took an over dose of some trica sleeping pills.... It's been almost 5hrs that she took them. She is feeling drowsy but did not sleep.... She threw up after 15-20min from taking the pills. She is drinking a lot of water and going to the washroom pretty often now.
She refuses to show to a doctor.

Hello,
Your friend has consumed overdose of sleeping.
This has to be approached medically and medico-legally.
It is a medical emergency and she is at the risk of developing disorientation,
unconsciousness and coma.
She may throw fits.
Immediate hospitalisation and observation is mandatory.
If it was an attempted suicide than it becomes all the more important medico-legally
