Today I was stupid and went a little crazy with some vicodin. I've heard that the pharm companies suggest that you not exceed a dose of 4 grams of APAP, but others have told me thats just so they can cover their asses. I ingested 5200 mg's of APAP over a peroid of twelve/fifteen hours. Am I going to die? I don't do vicodin a lot but i have before, i've just never exceeded four grams.

You won't die. Honestly, nothing will probably happen to you. HOWEVER, do not do this again. It's not just to cover their asses. Do some reading. You do NOT want to go through what happens when you take too much APAP. Don't take anymore tonight. I don't have any info on what you can do to make sure nothing bad happens from what you've already taken, maybe someone else does though.

Your liver isn't going to be throwing any parties in your honour anytime soon, but yeah, you'll be fine.

You arent going to die but I suggest you drink ALOT of water and don't do anything that is detrimental to your liver (IE Drink Alcohol) for a few days. The liver is very resilient and can heal itself quite quickly if you stop punishing it. An APAP OD can take over 12 hrs to become apparent so just be alert.

I've ingested this much before as well..I just drank alot of water and let it run it's course. You'll be alright.

Okay thanks guys, I mean i feel fine, my stomach doesn't pound or anything. I have done this in the past a few times however, but those times I would just take four grams and less, do you still think i'll be okay? I'm just tweaking out about this

You'll be ok. People have taken much more than that and lived.

Lay off the APAP for a while though, and don't do any drinking the next few days. Your liver desperately needs a break.

I forgot to mention about a month ago i would drink small amounts of alcohol occasionally even WITH the fucking APAP. I finally wisened up and realized how detremental that can be to my liver

yarr. I've taken twice that in one dose and I'm perfectly healthy

Don't worry about a month ago..as I said the liver is pretty good at healing itself, and I assume you're pretty young so that's even better.

why does everyone think I'm CRAZY?! :(

Perhaps you're just charming in an "I hear voices" type of way.

I took 25g APAP one time.

I woke up in a booth with Brother Ali he said "More! More!" (whitily)

This. I've taken 8gs of APAP with no side effects, but everyone is different. I think the LD50 is 12-15gs.

Cold water extraction FTW!!

I was wrong, just looked it up. For adults, 10g+ Is almost certain to cause toxicity, and 25g+ doses have a high risk for lethality. But then another source said that the LD50 is around 800mg/kg which sounds way too fucking much...

Anyways, its pretty damn hard to take more than 10 grams of Acetaminophen unless you're really trying.

Cold water extraction FTW!!

This. This times a million. I know it tastes like shit when you drink it, but it's worth it knowing that your liver is okay.
