Question

I just took approximately 1000mg of Excedrin...is that overdose?

Answer 1

Not if your body can stand it. Drink a lot of water, pee it out

Answer 2

Excedrin isn't a single drug. Assuming you took 4 pills, which would be 1000mg of acetaminophen and 1000mg aspirin, depending on the type of Excedrin you took, you will not experience adverse effects as long as your liver and kidneys are functioning correctly. Excedrin also contains caffeine, approximately 65mg per pill. The LD50 of caffeine in humans is about 150-200mg per kg, which means that is the lethal dose for 50 percent of people. This is still not enough to cause major issues, but as each pill is equivalent to about half a cup to a cup of coffee, it may well make you jittery.

Answer 3

Jut be careful...one day, I took 3 without thinking because I had such a bad migraine and would have done anything to get rid of it at that moment. That was at about 10 am, and for the rest of the day I felt as though I was high. It was soooo weird. I was hyper and crazy and stuff. If that happens, just drink a lot of water, and get everything out of your system. But no, it is not technically a lethal dose or really anything terrily harmful. Be sure to avoid all other sources of caffeine for at least 10-12 hours or so, and eat something, because caffeine tends to have a stronger affect on an empty stomach...! HOpe I helped =]]
