I had a absolutely bad headache last night. I took 3 extra strength tylenols. (1500 mg acetaminophen). The max daily portion of acetaminophen is 4000 mg. I am feeling symptoms of acetaminophen overdose... nausea. I don't know if it matters but I didn't


No dire to worry or freak out. You'll be fine.

i took 6000 mg of acetaminophen because It was in a cough remedy 6 hours ago. What can I do to prevent overdose?
An hour and half after i took i made myself throw up


Um, too at an advanced hour for that. 4000mgs is the highest recommended daily amount. Honestly, 6000mgs isn't enough to kill you but it's not good for your liver. Lay off the acetaminophen for a few days and refrain from alcohol as well.

My ally just told me that he thinks he overdosed with acetaminophen.
The drug like Tylenol, but its another brand from CVS.
The nerve said not to take more than 8 in 24 hours,
and he told me that he accidentally took 10 500mg pills


If he has nausea/vomiting or revenge upper quadrant tenderness then he should definitely seek medical attention. The maximum continually dose is 4 grams and he had 5 so I wouldn't worry too much. Linked is a good overview of Tylenol
