It depends what pain relief pills your taking well I think about 4-8 I think

What do you think? Answer below!

It completely depends on if that person is a man or a woman, their weight, and tolerance, not to mention what drug that person is taking. So, just take the recommended dose for your sex, weight, height or again, follow the doctor’s recommendation. If the dosage that you’re taking doesn’t help, then talk to your doctor about safely increasing your dose or try another drug that may help you. You can grow tolerant over time, so it completely depends.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) overdose is not at all a pleasant way to die. It causes severe liver damage which is often irreversible. As an ICU nurse I’ve seen many people attempt to OD on Tylenol and end up with eventual cirrhosis. This is often a long and horrible process.

Most people survive the initial attempt learning that they were not only unsuccessful in ending their life but now have a severely damaged liver resulting in horrible and irreversible complications . These complications include vomiting up copious amounts of blood due to esophageal varices, fluid shifting, resulting in extremely uncomfortable accumulation of fluid in the belly (ascites), and extreme confusion and agitation from hepatic encephalopathy. Ammonia accumulated in the bloodstream and must be treated by administration of a medicine called lactulose.

This medicine causes frequent (nearly constant) watery diarrhea. A Tylenol overdose has the potential to be a horrible, ammonia scented road to hell. It is very likely that the persons will wake up in an ER or ICU with a tube down their windpipe and learn all this bad news.

  1. Call and ask your phamistist.. i dont know what pills you are talking about.

    dont take anymore than it says to on your bottle and you will be sure not to kill yourself.

    I just hope your not planning something silly… its not worth it. Find someone to talk to. I know sometimes it feels like no one out there gives a shit these days, but when you are not expecting it, someone will come along that is listening and cares.

    Please take care.

  2. I don’t know, nor would I want to know… that would probably be a very scary death! Just imagin how people feel at that exact moment when you know that you are about to die, and no one is around to do anything about it. AND… who would find you. So, if your going to take medicine, follow the directions on the box and don’t mix them with any other medication unless directed by a doctor. Your question kind-of disturbs me. Why do you want to know this… and I’m not trying to be mean.

  3. if you stick to the directions that are printed with all medication, you do EXACTLY what they say, and you will be fine,

    if you are in any doubt about how much to take or have taken speak to your pharmacist or doctor,

    never mess about with medication, if you are feeling low talk to someone, every problem has a solution, even if you can’t see it, other people can help, please be careful

  4. IF THESE PILLS ARE PRECRIBED TO YOU THE AMOUNT AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD BE ON THE BOTTLE. THEY DO FOR A REASON. BUT IT DEPENDS ON YOU AND YOUR SYSTEM WHERE SOME A HALF OR LESS A BOTTLE COULD SHUT THE HEART DOWN IT MAY TAKE THE WHOLE BOTTLE OR EVEN LESS OR MAYBE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF THE BOTTLE WHO IS REALLY TO SAY. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO WAS YOUNG AND STUPID ONCE TOOK ONLY 1 PAIN PILL AND AN ASPRIN HAD BEER AND SHE DIED. NO-ONE ELSE DID. THAT WAS HER LUCK. HOW WAS ANYONE TOO KNOW. WE WOULD OF NEVER IMAGINED IT TOOK SO LITTLE TO KILL YOURSELF. JUST TAKE IT THE WAY YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO. PAM

  5. Take the amount that is directed on the bottle and no more. In case you haven’t seen the news lately plenty of people die just taking a few extra pills along with something else.

    I take hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine sulphate, Soma, and Neurontin every day for a spine injury and I know that as long as I don’t mess around with them I will be fine.

    Do yourself a favor and don’t try self-medicating.

    I have been in a pain management program for several years and have seen far too many people ruin their lives taking pain medications more that recommended by their doctor.
    It really is a bad idea.
    Hope you feel better. If the pain meds that you have don’t work at the dosage directed then talk to your doctor before changing anything.

    Really, I’m not preaching, I grew up in Southern California during the sixties so getting high is nothing new to me. But when it comes to heavy duty drugs like pain meds it’s best to listen to the guys that know. Your doctor
