I don't think it'll be unrepairable, but in the case that it is you can always try to find another clean one and turn this one into a trail rig

Totally understand the pain tho. Bought my 98 xj for $500 and I'll beat on it but I think if I actually crashed it I'd cry

Always take medication according to the directions because an overdose could make you sick or kill you.

What you took, as someone else pointed out is DPH or Diphenhydramine. It's often used in allergy, cold, or sleep medication. It isn't for headaches and unless you were drinking a lot of water with it, it probably just dehydrated you a bit and made your headache worse. DPH is also a deliriant at higher doses so that is what made you hallucinate. Some people do this to trip, but it isn't considered very fun or enjoyable compared to most drugs. Most people I knew who abused it were depressed, and used it as a form of self harm.

You're probably lucky that it wasn't headache medication actually if you're just taking a bunch and hoping to feel better. If the bottle has a lot of Tylenol (acetaminophen) in it you may have needed to go to the hospital to have your stomach pumped. Some drugs/active ingredients are more dangerous than others.

Who the heck takes medicine without knowing what it is for? Thats like taking a medicine for sore throat and expect to fix your upset stomach or something? You are 26, don't you know that its extremely dangerous to take medicine that you are not supposed to? Im sorry if i sound rude but this whole post is worrying and im just trying to tell you that its dangerous and if you don't learn that soon it may happen something way worse.

Next time call your doctor, parents, relative or even just google it instead of going by memory.

The dosage is way way too low for that to be the likely side effect. You are on a very low dosage for both drugs.

The body and brain are mysterious things. What could be happening is your anxiety about serotonin syndrome being a potential risk is causing your brain to interpret it as serotonin syndrome since you know that is a “side effect” (reality it’s at much higher doses). You know how people can experience a placebo effect of a placebo drug, the reverse can also happen in people with anxiety.

When you experience the symptoms under those conditions, the anxiety makes you jump to that conclusion which further spins you up emotionally taking your brain further down that path. I’m not saying what you are experiencing isn’t really, not even close - it’s very real. I don’t think it’s serotonin syndrome but more of an anxiety spiral you get into and you attribute it to that due to it being a very real potential side effect (at higher doses).

You should take your medications daily as written. Set alarms if you have to, missing doses have real impacts your life!

I stopped reading side effects due this happening. I only look it up if I honestly experience one. It’s cut down on side effects by 40%. Anxiety sucks and can end up becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. As a kid I got stomach aches and upset stomachs all the time. I was labeled “sensitive stomach” - no one dig deeper (it was back in the day). I honestly believed if my stomach got upset that it was a warning that something bad was going to happen. So anything remotely negative reinforced that belief. I rode that spiral many times. As an adult, I know that it was IBS and my anxiety caused it to flare up, which made my anxiety even worse, which made my stomach even worse and down the spiral I went. It was (and still is) a shitty self fulfilling prophecy.

You know sometimes random ingredients can trigger interactions. I take Cymbalta 60mg if I take dayquil anxiety and paranoia occurs.

It could be from the ingredients targeting the gaba receptor. Typically gummies don't go through clinical trials so the interaction or pk is not understood.

Sorry to be short in the first post. But don't stop your regular meds, look into the gummies and potential interactions.

Sounds like you need to actually learn how to drive better tbh. Took you 5 tries to get a license and you’re still running into people constantly? You’re lucky you’ve not done more damage. Do you need to drive to live in your area, because you may need an alternative from the sounds of it. Maybe try some driving courses or something?
