I'm really worried because my friend took 8 sleeping pills last night, which I know is more than the recommended amount, and she's still not waking up. Can you tell me what I should do?

Immediately call emergency services or rush your friend to the nearest hospital, as an overdose of 8 sleeping pills can be life-threatening; provide the hospital with the name and quantity of the pills taken, and try to keep your friend awake and moving until medical help arrives.

I just ended up taking two dolo 650 tablets by accident, like 15 minutes apart. I tried to vomit right after the second one, but I'm not sure if the tablet came out. Is this something to worry about, or is there anything specific I should do now?

No you dont have to worry as you vomit after 15 min as paracetamol, it takes half an hour to one hour for absorption. As paracetamol is safest drug Higher doses lead to increasing risk of toxicity .This much amount will not cause any toxicity
