You are not dramatic for struggling with pain, and taking medication prescribed for someone else can carry real risks. This page explains what to do now, when to seek urgent help, and how to contact a doctor or trusted person in Pakistan.
No, this is not just you being dramatic. You are in real distress, and taking someone else’s antidepressant is unsafe because the dose, effects, and interactions can be unpredictable. It does not mean you are weak or a loser; it means you need proper support.
Do not take another dose from that person. Keep the packet if possible, and tell a doctor or pharmacist the medicine name, strength, how many tablets you took, when you took them, and anything else you took, including alcohol or other medicines. If you have been taking it regularly, tell them that too, because they can advise how to stop safely.
Get urgent medical help now if you have severe agitation, confusion, fainting, fever, shaking, stiff muscles, repeated vomiting, chest pain, trouble breathing, or a seizure. If you might harm yourself or cannot stay safe, do not stay alone; ask someone you trust to stay with you and move medicines or sharp objects away while you get urgent help.
Being called an attention seeker does not make your pain fake. You do not have to prove you are suffering before you deserve care. Tell me the medicine name, strength, how many tablets you took, when you took them, and whether you feel physically unwell or might hurt yourself.
