8 darvocets and tylenol cough syrup?

Question

Thursday i drink a whole bottle of tylenol with codeine cough syrup. I also took a couple of darvocets that night. I felt fine. Friday i took like 4 darvocets throughout the whole day. It is now Saturday. I took 2 darvocets this morning. I feel really weird now and kind of nauseous. Do i have aceteminophen poisioning? The only thing that really worried me was the bottle of cough syrup. That should not be effecting me 2 days later should it? I mean wouldn't i be dead already? All of this was stretched out over 3 days. I know it was stupid and i have learned my lesson, but what do you think?

Answer 1

yes, it could be tylenol poisening. Darvocet has tylenol in it, and combined with the syrup you took- could be still in your system, messing with your liver and kidneys. People don't die immediately from acetaminophen poisening.  the medication causes your organs to fail and it takes a while.   You really should go to the doctor.

Answer 2

Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:

•chest pain or irregular heartbeat

•difficulty breathing, wheezing

•severe rash

•cold, clammy skin

•unusual weakness

•fever, chills, muscle aches and pains

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):

•constipation

•dizziness, drowsiness

•confusion

•gas or heartburn

•nausea, vomiting

•dry mouth

•itching

•pinpoint pupils

I got this off of a professional pharmacy database called Clinical Pharmacology.  I don't really know how well it applies to you though.  These are just side effects of taking the drug the correct way, not side effects of an overdose.

If your symptoms get worse you need to contact your doctor or visit the emergency room asap.

Good Luck!!

It is possible that you have taken to much Acetaminophen, I'm not sure if it's considered a poisoning. But maybe a slight overdose. But when you say that you drank a whole bottle, what do you mean? Is it a whole pint? Or is it 120mls? Or what? Anyways, if you know that Darvocet has tylenol in it, why would you take both? And no, you would be dead already. Too much Tylenol damages the liver, which leads to a long slow death.
