Question

well then I took another 2 hours later. Will I be ok? I feel reeeeal good but extremely light headed and getting sleepy. Should I get checked out or will I be ok if I fall asleep. It adds up to 2250 mg's Im scared to go to sleep. Im not addicted I just forgot he upped my dose this time.

Answer 1

What you really need to do, for long term relief, is go to a chiropractor.

Answer 2

The 750mg is actually the tylenol(acetaminophen or could say apap for short) in it. The other strength like probably 7.5mg is the actual hydrocodone strength. I would be more concerned about the tylenol intake than anything, that's hard on your liver. The max tylenol dose for a person with a healthy liver is 4000mg per day. Call a pharmacy and they could tell you what to do. Eating something will help if your stomach is upset.

Answer 3

Are you alone?  If you are, can you call a friend or relative to come stay with you for a while?  I'm only asking because too high of a dose of pain meds can actually cause you to stop breathing while you're sleeping.  If someone can stay with you, they can keep an eye on you and call for help if necessary.
