[StonnerLover]

ok pretty much beacuse of an infected nerve in my tooth i have been prescribed tylnol 3's and have been taking them as prescibed untill one night i was screwing around with my friend and then i was gonna kill myself but i wasent actully going to i was kidding so i sat infront of him and took 4 tylenol 3's and 8 extra stenght tylenols, anyways after day i started feeling weird and somthing along the lines of high. anyways scince then i have been doing it and even uped the dose to 5 tylenol 3 and 10 extra strenght, i know i shouldnt be doing this but i figured it better then going bak to E and coke...right?? i dont know but i guesse i'm just looking for info about this such as how bad is this and am i addicted and such anyways thanks for you time and help.

WOW, that is allot of tylenol. You can have severe liver damage from that much. There is 500mg each in the normal tylenol
Then you have 30mgs codeine and 300 tylenol in each tylenol 3..

If your taking 10 tylenol that is 5000mg of that there, then an additional 1500 from the tylenol 3s, that totals 6500mg of Acetaminophen (tylenol) right there, PLUS 150mg of codeine all at one time.

You may have been lucky this far but that is allot to take at once, tylenol or codeine..Very dangerous. And I am highly addicted to vicodin, struggling very hard to come off  but I would never take that much at one time. Your tolerance muct be extremely high or like I said you have been very lucky this far.

Once you start upping doses for the high, yes you are addicted.

Please discontinue using this in such high doses. We all are here if you need any help at all.

Good Luck

yea thats what i thought i think my tolerance is this high beacuse i have done coke once and did E quite alot over the past couple months. Thank you for letting me know this...i dont think i have done to much damage as i started to  take it to get high only a week or so ago adn i had tylenol 3's for te first time about 2 weeks ago...aslo seeing as i got ym awnser and if i do get kicked off or whatever i dont care i'll also add i just turned 14 as of july 5th and beacuse of that i probibly do need to stop like...now...seeing as i just took more a hour or so ago....damn i'm stupid i need a wake up call....or a smake across the face....and also so does my mom casue all she says is its stupid to do this...but then again she knows nothing about doses of drugs...i guesse she thinks  its better then me doing coke and E again and drinking

Also i was wondering what r the symptoms of oversode?? just out of curiosity...its good info to know when ur in my position i guesse

[StonnerLover]

ok thanks alot....well i think i'll ok...i'm a little hott...but thats probibly casue the door is closed and teh window is to...and i have a slight pain right below my left rib...is that my liver?? i think i should be ok i hope beacuse other then the being hot..witch is explainable and the slight pain like very very slight pain i am not experiencing anything that i have never experianced with this b4. Plus it has over an hour or 2..over all it has been fun, but knowing all this information i dont think i want to risk it anymore and will stick to my regular dose of 2 tylenol 3's only when *Needed* so thanks alot for you help, and as for now untill the tylenol wears off what do u think be my best course of action just out of ur own opinion?

Oh and another thing, you can have tylenol overdose in as much as days AFTER taking the stuff. Never think that just b/c you feel ok now that it cannot happen. It still can. I never knew that until recently either.

Your liver is on your right side below rib cage.

My best advice would be to not take anymore at all. But if you know in your heart you can responsibly take them, than taking as needed is not a problem. But from what has happened already, if you do continue on them it is possible you get to the point of not being able to stop. Like where I am right now.

I would drink lots of fluids for now, water specially. And do not take anymore if you do not need them. Sweating and being hot is a side affect also I get with the vocodin. I sweat more but if it is exccesive and you feel out of it, or trouble breathing etc. get medical attnetion right away.

OMG, your only 14? Oh honey! Get away from this **** NOW and FAST.
OVERDOSE

Acetaminophen

Signs and Symptoms: In acute acetaminophen overdosage, dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. Renal tubular necrosis, hypoglycemic coma, and thrombocytopenia may also occur.

In adults, hepatic toxicity has rarely been reported with acute overdoses of less than 10 grams and fatalities with less than 15 grams. Importantly, young children seem to be more resistant than adults to the hepatotoxic effect of an acetaminophen overdose. Despite this, the measures outlined below should be initiated in any adult or child suspected of having ingested an acetaminophen overdose.

Early Symptoms Following a Potentially Hepatotoxic Overdose May Include: Nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, and general malaise. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion.

Treatment: The stomach should be emptied promptly by lavage or by induction of emesis with syrup of ipecac. Patients' estimates of the quantity of a drug ingested are notoriously unreliable. Therefore, if an acetaminophen overdose is suspected, a serum acetaminophen assay should be obtained as early as possible, but no sooner than four hours following ingestion. Liver function studies should be obtained initially and repeated at 24-hour intervals.

The antidote, N-acetylcysteine, should be administered as early as possible, preferably within 16 hours of the overdose ingestion for optimal results, but in any case, within 24 hours. Following recovery, there are no residual, structural or functional hepatic abnormalities.

Codeine

Signs and Symptoms: Serious overdose with codeine is characterized by respiratory depression (a decrease in respiratory rate and/or tidal volume, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, cyanosis), extreme somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, skeletal muscle flaccidity, cold and clammy skin, and sometimes bradycardia and hypotension. In severe overdosage, apnea, circulatory collapse, cardiac arrest, and death may occur. Toxicity from codeine poisoning includes the opiod triad of: pinpoint pupils, depression of respiration, and loss of consciousness. Convulsions may occur.

Now I have a friend whom I found clearly overdosed 2 summers ago. She was very bluish gray in the face, saliva pouring from her mouth and very very non-respondent.
Also extremely sweaty. I called 911 and they got her in time however had I not have shown up when I did she would not be here now. I found her lying on her living room floor and she would respond slightly and fade back out. But above are symptoms that are stated per the medications and type of overdose. My friend at the time had high levels of vicodin as well as another pain killer.

ok thanks alot for your help, i know how u feel its 5am here. Anyways i totally agree with u. I few highs is not worth death at all, this is much to risky and honestly i went into doing this with much to high of a does and with much MUCH to little information and by to little i mean the only thing i knew was that it got you high, it was a inmature mistake to make expecially at this age, but you live and learn i guesse. I am not making this mistake anymore however. I am not addicted, at least i do not think so, cause today the only reason i did it was casue my mom was like take ur meds and i was like ohh lets take a few more and have a bit of fun, beacuse i was bored, so i have full confidence in myself that i can just fully go cold turkey and hopefully just take my regular does of 2 tylenol 3's to help the pain in my tooth. If somthing happens and i am addicted and i feel the urge to take more i will make sure that i tell my mom to hide ALL my meds as i am also on penicillian...but i am REALLY unaware of what that drugs does...all i know is i have it fore getting rid of the infection in my tooth or nerve or whatever, anyways i would like to thank u for ur help as ai really appreichiate it and have a nice night as i am going to bed as well, and i will b sure to check bak in the morning. thanks you

Penicillian is an antibiotic, yes used to treat infections. :)

[vicaddict]

Now just bc it says younger children are more resistent to this do not take that as an excuse to continue. B/C no matter what a persons body cannot handle all that and the toxic affects it can have can be fatal.

I have to say I am shocked that your mother has not acted on this. If my child were doing this and I knew about it, that would definately not be happeneing again. There would be no more access to the drugs and in a treatment facility. I know all too well from my own personal addiction and definitely would want my children to stop b4 I would be attending an early much too early funeral.

Please stop taking these and seek help. If nothing else, stay here post as much as you can and we will try to help you through. If you think that you do not have a problem now, trust me hun you will and it will end up fatal. All of us here know how this all works, and your much too young for this. You have a whole life ahead of you, why risk it for a few highs that may end up being your last breath ever.

Your not alone, remember that. I must get to bed though it is 4am here, but please post if you need to I will check again in the morning.

:)

[vicaddict]

I am glad to hear that! Your very welcome Stacey and it is nice to meet you. That was going to be my other advice was to have mom hide your meds if you feel the need to take more.

You did the right thing by posting. :)
Have a good night and post me in the morning let me know how you are doing.
