Clonidine Overdose

NSFW

I was taken to the ICU after consuming 12mg of clonidine in an attempt to end my life. The ICU gave me 1 transfusion, then discharged me after I spoke with a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist was rude and they shouldn't have discharged me since I was still very ill. I was discharged and had to call the paramedics a few hours later after being unable to move or I would see stars, got tinnitus, felt dizzy, felt like my head would explode and almost passed out. Once the paramedics got there, my BP was exceptionally low and they immediately gave me an NACL infusion (salt water basically) then once I got to the hospital, they placed me in the emergency department instead of the ICU. They gave me more NACL, KCL (caused burning in my arms and extreme anxiety, so they gave me more NACL and Klonopin for the severe anxiety. Then I got my new endocrinology team as well as new drugs to help me with my gender transition. If the paramedics didn't take me back to the hospital, they said I had a decent chance of passing away in my sleep.
