will valium overdose kill you?

I need to know if valium overdose can kill you. I need to know because there are some people I know who take valium to try and kill themselves. They haven't done it yet but i want to know ahead of time.

Please if you can answer I would be thankful.

Thank you so much.

Hi: Of course Valium can kill you. What any drug overdose does is KNOCK you out and your stomach vomits up ALL of the pills - because it can't handle the overload. So then because your breathing is low and you can't role over - due too being comatose. You basically suffocate on your vomit!!!!!!!!

You need too get these people some help, tell them to phone a suicide help line or go straight too the hospital. Them telling you this is a cry for help. And CAN'T be ignored! There have even been lawsuits by bereft families, against the people that knew their children or loved ones were going too commit suicide but didn't do anything. Because suicide is a murder right?! Most people don't think of it that way of course, if you attempt suicide you can even get charged with attempted murder!!!! So you need to have them get help, so it will exonerate you from all of the terrible stuff that happens after someone kills themselves.

On a personal note, I wanted to state what TOTAL devestation suicide leaves behind. I have known a couple of people that killed themselves, and what the "survivors" have too deal with, the person that did this CANNOT even comprehend. I am sure if they saw the devestation they leave behind - including what the police, EMS, family members etc (whomever finds the body), they WOULD think twice of their selfishness. Because that is what I think suicide is. IF you are healthy, and do not have a terminal illness, I believe you do not have the right too take your life. I understand TOTALLY despair and anquish, but I have also seen a loved one SUFFER untolerablely from Cancer and she died with dignity - she was my mom!!!!! As far as I am concerned, she and others like her would be the only ones who could decide too take their own lives before the disease does. EVERYONE else NO WAY!!!

A dear friend of mines brother, shot his brains out in their dads bedroom. Can you even imagine what this poor man SAW!!!! The devestation he brought onto his family, is still being felt and that was 15 years ago. I knew a man who hung himself in the doorway of the garage, this is where his 8 year old daughter came home!!!!!! Thank God the neighbour found him before she found her daddy there!! CAN you even imagine the rest of her life? Another person I knew - when I was a teenager - went home after school, closed the family room curtains, his parents came home after work and wondered why the curtains were closed they opened them and there he was hanging from a noose that he had perfectly measured so his whole body would be hanging right infront of them!!!!!!! You know why? Because they grounded him for doing drugs!!!!!!!!! So personally I have ZERO empathy for people who actually commit suicide. Because the devestation and destruction of MANY peoples lives after is DISGUSTING, and BEYOND human strength.

So get them to get some help, and tell them how you feel, and read them what I said. It is time for them too stop being selfish and get help and get on with life, NOT destroy it!!! Good luck to you too!!!!

totally disagree with that comment..if the person who wrote that had ever gone through the horrendous continual pain people who are suicidal feel they would not have made such a comment. People who are not in the situation and not feeling the pain and depression really have no idea what is it like, when you feel you have no one to turn to, no other options, you've been let down by family and friends ringing a complete stranger to talk to is just not a realistic solution when your feeling like this. I'm speaking from experience sometimes it really is the best option whether we want to believe it or not and i believe its selfish on our part for feeling they have caused so much misery on others. its their life and they can choose to do what ever they want with it.

I got 30 of 10mgs and 10 of 5mgs, do you think that should kill a person? I too quite agree a little on the first post, coz I had seen my mom overdosing couple of times when i was young she use to vomit and sleep the whole the day, the thing if you are planning kill yourself then make sure you dont survive or else you will feel like shit.
