Did I do a Tylenol Overdose?

Question

Please don't try to scare me! I took eight pills of tylenol within like, 14 hours. I didn't even think about it until it was time for bed! I took two pills before school, two after, two before I went shopping, and two when I got back. the reason for this was a guardasil shot that I got was giving me lots of pain... I took the tylenols without even thinking about it, I didn't tell my parents until bedtime either!!!! I'm 12 years old, and I really dont wanna die! So please let me know what the side- effects may be!!!

Answer 1

Taking eight Tylenol within a fourteen hour

time frame will not kill you but if you read the

label I think it says take 1 or 2 pills every 4 hours for

pain. I don't find Tylenol very effective for pain so I

take Advil. I have taken eight in the same time that

you took the tylenol & I'm ok.

Please be careful in future because even though

it may state a recommended dose on the bottle,

everybody reacts differently to medication.

Just to put your mind at rest, even people who

have taken an entire bottle of medication usually

end of vomiting due to the high dose in their

stomach. It's never a good idea to take more than

the recommended dose of any medication

unless you are advised by a doctor to take more.

Take care.

  

Answer 2

First of all..this is the wrong section for this question.

Second of all...how about you read the box before taking medication?

Your answer is on the back of the box/bottle.

And you claim you told your parents, consult them.

Answer 3

You have not overdosed.  You're still well within the safe dosage limit.  Drink lots of water to clean out your system.  Relax.  Ask your parents next time you need a pain killer.  By the way...if the first two doses don't  help...it's time to try a new medication.

Answer 4

u will survive i hav taken 6 advil 2 alive 2T3's (prescription tylenol) and 2 reg tylenol and was fine just a bad stomach ach next morning which u will have probably  

Answer 5

you should be alright this time, maybe a stomach ache. if you make a habit out of this you could kill your liver which will be more pain than your guardasil shot. you should not take any medicine yourself until you are able to follow the directions on the bottle.
