> I have a question, did you post how much ASA you took and why? Wasn't it something about wanting to fool the doctor into thinking you were ill so you didn't have to take an exam? Am I right, wrong ...?Yes, you are correct. I'm not sure whether or not it is appropriate to talk about exactly how much I took because I don't want people to think that taking any overdose is ok. There is a curve of responses to different medications for different people and sometimes a seemingly 'safe' overdose may be harmful if not fatal for a few people who are hypersensitive to the medication. But I digress...getting into the realm of pharmacogenomics.
Anyways, needless to say, I must work on better coping stratagies. Making oneself sick on purpose to get a defferal for exams is NOT the right thing to do. It is much much better to talk to people who can help you cope with the stress and give suggestions for solving the problem.
