Answer
Hello, Ca,

Methergine is a poison, related to the poison in ergot. You took so much, it's no wonder you are experiencing vomiting and dizziness. You have endangered your LIFE! You need immediate medical treatment. So I am going to keep this short so you will go and get it right away.

Methergine can cause problems with your heart and circulatory system. For all I know, you are already experiencing this; it would explain the dizziness. You should welcome the vomiting, because it will get some of it out of your system.

Don't attempt to have an abortion with drugs. They are all dangerous and can kill a woman, and you're too far along anyway. And no telling what the combination of these drugs with methergine would do to you!

There are better answers. You don't have to threaten your life to deal with this situation. I recommend that once you are medically stable, you go visit a country where you can safely have your baby and put him or her up for adoption.

Now go get some medical help! Please let me know how you do. I will pray for you.
