Does anyone know overdose symptoms of Norco???

[jjr229]

For About 6 months I've been taking Norco 10/325, i've built a tollerance and have become addicted. I usually take anywhere from 6-10 a day and lately 10 to 15 a day and then last night I took 25 and was fine then today all together I took 25 and feel different, i've been nauseated all day and can't eat a thing. I was feeling dizzy but not so much now just nauseated, the last pill I took was around 6 1/2 hours ago if I were overdosing something would have happened by now right? I'm really freaking out, i have an extremelly high tollerance but this time I have so much anxiety because my stomach is upset. This is the last time i am ever taking them, there gone for good, please someone just get back to me and let me know that i'm ok!

Thank you

my concern would be more on the liver at this time  acetaminophen liver toxicity

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Poisoning Symptoms
Soon after taking an overdose of acetaminophen, you may have no symptoms from taking a toxic amount. You may remain symptom free for up to 24 hours after taking a toxic overdose of acetaminophen.

After this initial period, the following symptoms are common:

•Nausea
•Vomiting
•Not feeling well
•Not able to eat or poor appetite
•Abdominal pain


25 pills at 325 thats 8125m thats far over the dalily limt whereyou or are you a drinker

You probably upset your stomach and I wouldn't do that again.  It's telling you something.....Acetaminophen poisoning, maybe......Just make sure you are pee'ing ok and if it gets worse see your doctor.  Also, check for jaundice......yellowing of skin and eyes.......

Please be very careful......most people who brag or talk about their high tolerance usually end up dead because we think we are invincible......were not.  I know, because that is me.

Slow down brakeShoe!!

nauty is right jaundice or yellowing skin is a major system

However, many people experience no early symptoms after an overdose. In the next 24 to 72 hours, the early symptoms start to go away, but liver damage starts to occur. The first symptom of liver damage is usually upper-right abdominal pain or tenderness (near the liver), and a healthcare provider may notice that the liver is enlarged. After this, liver failure may occur, causing symptoms such as:


    * Yellow eyes and skin (jaundice)
    * Dark urine
    * Confusion
    * Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
    * Bleeding
    * Nausea and vomiting.
      

Some people also experience kidney failure or heart problems. Death may occur, usually as the result of swelling in the brain, infections, or multiple organ failure.

Early treatment after an overdose with acetaminophen is important. If the overdose was recent, activated charcoal may be given to prevent the body from absorbing the drug. A medication called N-acetylcysteine (Acetadote®, Mucomyst®) is extremely important for the treatment of an overdose and can help prevent liver damage. Treatment will also include supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. Sometimes, liver transplantation is necessary.

It is important that you seek prompt medical attention if you believe that you may have overdosed on acetaminophen.

[onthefence]

it all depends upon the individual, and how there liver(filter) handles APAP .
If it really is a liver prob go as early as you can, better safe than sorry,. IMO.

GREAT POST

jjr let us know how you are doing today

[jifmoc]

Know what?  You are ok, I'm not a Dr. but, if you were gonna OD, you would've by now.  But, guess what?  Sounds like maybe that is a great thing that happened because it SCARED you into say NO MORE.  I was on almost the exact same amount as you (6 to 8), then about 3 weeks ago I had 35 norcos, and they were gone in 2 days and I freaked out.  Guess what happened?  That was the straw for me, I started CT soon after, I am now on my 10th day of no norcs.  I still feel weak and drained, but I did it.  So, as I said, it's things like this that jolt you into stopping, then that's GOOD!  Ya know?

Most people feel that if you arent dead in 24 hrs you are doing just fine. Thats not the case with livers and acetaminophen. Mild symptoms occur and disappear in the initial period of a day or two....... then a latent recovery seems to happen and the patient has no complaints whatsoever..... unfortunately this is when the liver is not able to process all of the acetaminophen and liver damage is occurring.......as OTF mentioned, this is a critical time for administration of acetyl cysteine that will help the liver and halt the damage being done by the inability of the liver to process the dose ...... when things progress past this stage the only answer is a liver transplant......As a long time liver patient myself I would suggest heartily that you take a serious look at things. You are way too young to have the tolerance that you speak of.......the unfortunate part of that story is that the next step in line is death.
