Nervous About Acetaminophen Overdose Posted: 07-30-07 12:32pm
About 2 days ago I twisted my knee pretty
bad. It has been bothering me ever since.
Last night I decided to try to run
because it was feeling better but
afterwards it began to hurt quite a bit.
I tried ice and it wasn't swollen so I did
not try ibuprofen. I decided to take a
few tylenol 1s we had lying around from a
while back which contained 300 mg
Acetaminophen and 8 mg codeine in each
pill. I decided to take 5, but then began
to worry if this was a big mistake. I
hadn't considered the fact that I was at
parties 3 days in a row that week and had
a few drinks each night (enough to make me
reasonably drunk)
Is 1500 mg of Acetaminophen in a single
dose something that will likely be
serious? I am too afraid to tell my
parents, because I don't want to
disappoint them. It's been about 12 hours
since I took these, and have felt no
nausia and haven't vomited since. I am
very anxious, however, because I've been
very worried about what may happen to me.
Please tell me what you think.
