1. That's 2000 mg of Tylenol. Really too much at one time. Be careful.

4. Was this recreational or physically necessary?
That is way too much for one person to consume at once.

If it was recreational, you are lucky I'm not there because I'd be kicking your butt into oblivion.

5. Oh, I used to love Vicodin.....
Back in my "irresponsible" days. I remember once taking just TWO Vicodins, drinking a shitload of Bourbon, and waking up sometime later, realizing that all five of my housemates were trying to carry me up a flight of stairs (I was about 300 lbs back then).

Good times, great oldies!

6. I gotta ask why did you take 4?
That's 20 mg of hydrocodone the narcotic. I do pain management for a living. I really am concerned. Even if you're used to the narcotic that is too much Tylenol. For Gods sake don't drink any alcohol.

7. by this time you're probably oblivious to advice...
...but let me second the recommendation that you stay COMPLETELY away from alcohol-- not because of the hydrocodone/EtOH synergism-- that's kinda fun at reasonable doses-- but because Tylenol and alcohol together damage your liver. Be careful, 'bro.

9. Bad on your liver! Watch it!
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 08:48 PM by holyrollerdem
I know people who went into liver failure by taking too many at a time all the time!

The standard dose is usually 1-2 tabs 5/500mg every 4-6 hours or 1 7.5/750mg every 6 hours. Taking 4 at a time is way too much!

on edit: changed dose to 7.5 I think

22. They gave me vicodin when I had oral surgery 2 years ago...
did absolutely nothing for me. Thought it'd put me to sleep. Har de har har.

Generic Ibuprofen did better.

Happy to know you are all right.
