If you can, try saying you mixed up the doses or thought that one painkiller helped so maybe more could help the physical pain go away. Or
ou could go the, ''I read it up on the internet that it cures (put reason here)''.

If you can, maybe say it was a dare or internet challenge for example to see how many pills you can take in a time span.

Or say you were doing the benadryl challenge but didnt have benadryl on hand so just subsituted it.

IDK, I feel like this is playing too dumb. Wouldn't they catch on?

I hate to say this, but saying you were doing it for the sake of completing an internet challenge wouldn't help lostcause to avoid being committed (at least I wouldn't expect it to help).

I do like your other suggestions though. Saying that it was an accidental overdose and explaining how that happened might actually work.

@l0stc4use I've had to be hospitalized myself, so I know how much it sucks. If the OD really was unintentional, then you shouldn't have to worry about making something up to explain what happened. If they believe you, then hopefully they just treat the symptoms of the OD, instead of sending you to a psych ward.
