Good morning, It is never a good idea to take more pills than what you are prescribed. If you are having thoughts about taking an overdose please call or text the Crisis Help Line 988 or if you have a local Crisis Unit in a hospital you can go there or call 911. Do you have a trusted family member, friend, or therapist that you can contact? Reach out to someone as soon as possible. Christen B., RN
If you were to take 13 Zoloft, 8 sleeping pills, and 4 pain pills, you will most likely overdose requiring immediate medical attention and possible advance mental health treatment. You would need to receive a reversal agent immediately to reverse the action of that cocktail of medication all of which has the potential to cause respiratory depression and without immediate intervention the outcome could be fatal.
Is this a real question? That mix seems dangerous. Maybe you should get someone to check your medications.
A catastrophy could occur. My advice to to talk to your parents a parent of a friend you trust. If you dont have that support, talk to a preacher. And make sure the before you take all the med you contact the ER or the suicide hotline.
Please go to an Emergency Department
You will feel very ill and get admitted to a psychiatric hospital for attempted suicide. Please call 911 or get to the ER ASAP. God bless and please be safe.

Be well
