Suggest Remedy For Overdose Of Tylenol

I TOOK VICODIN WITH 325 MG OF TYLENOL IN IT TWO DAYS IN A ROW AND REALIZED IT WORKED OUT TO BE 4,500MG OF TYLENOL EACH DAY. I AM EXCRUCIATING PAIN AND THE VICODIN IS DOING NOTHING. I FEEL OK, BUT AM WORRIED ABOUT THE TYLENOL. SHOULD I DRINK WATER TO FLUSH IT OUT OF MY SYSTEM?

Hello
Vicodine is a most potent hydrocodone while tylenol is "PARACETMOL".
You took 4500 mg each day for two days .
Now note down this thing .
Tylenol normal dose is > 50 kg 1 gm 4-6 hourly ( for mild to moderate pain and fever ) maximum dose is 4000 mg .
You took 4500 mg ( upper limit ) .
You should not worry but take care in future , you should not take such high dosage .
However , this may cause nausea, vomiting , abdominal discomfort , allergic reaction , skin rashes .
But need not to consult any one except stop taking tylenol.
Hope this will help you.
