Wow, I just freaked out for no reason.
    #7841818 - 01/06/08 10:52 PM (16 years, 26 days ago)

I went upstairs earlier to relieve my nasty cold symptoms and found the generic 'nyquil'. There was about 1/4 of the bottle left, so I tipped it back and finished it off, not thinking. When I looked at the APAP content of the bottle I quickly came to the shroomery to find out what the toxic dose is. There is 1000mgAPAP/fl oz. in this stuff!.

So then I put water in the bottle up to where the medicine had previously been so I could pour it into a measuring device to see how much I actually took. I am fairly certain that I drank 3 oz. of the nyquil which translates to 3 grams of APAP in one dose.

I found several places on the Shroomery that said APAP is dangerous at any dose over 4 or 5 grams, but the medical journals I found online said that the minimum toxic dose is between 7.5 and 10g in one ingestion. From my understanding, a healthy, non-alcoholic adult should be able to handle a large dose of acetaminophen if it's not done very often.

Either way though, I didn't find the medical journals until after I threw up everything I had in my stomach, which was quite a lot.

I'm getting pretty tired now, which is what I wanted. I haven't been able to sleep well the past couple nights because of my stuffy nose and sore throat.

Those medical journals are completely wrong. Honestly, what kind of credibility do they have in a situation like this? Just 1/10th of the dose you took is fatal. Even throwing it up doesn't work. GO TO A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY YOU COULD BE DEAD ANY MINUTE!!!!

1/3 of the dose i took is the recommended dose...:rolleyes:

I appreciate the concern, but really... do you have experience?

Ok dude, this is my source. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002598.htm

It is an accredited source, and it says not to take more than 4g a day.

I took 3g and probably threw up half of it.

Isn't APAP absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract? if so, shouldn't I be able to throw up anything that has not yet been digested, as is the case with a stomach full of pizza and water?

In any case, I feel much better now that I've found 3 different medical websites that say the same thing--no problems unless you take more than 4g.

I'm in decent shape and have no history or family history of liver problems. I'm also not an alcoholic.

Don't take things with high acetaminophen content, it's plain and simple. Don't care how healthy you are or if you are an alcoholic, it's not good for you. A couple times is alright, but no more than that.

yeah, I'm not a chronic acetaminophen user, and it's only DAILY doses of 3-4g that become a problem.

Who told you that? Even using something like coricidin with consiberable paracetamol content on only a monthly basis in recreational doses can have negative/toxic effects on the liver.

that is what I understood from everything I read online.

I am aware of the consequences of taking too much apap. However, by posting this I was simply sharing a little paranoia attack that I experienced.

I don't do anything besides pot either. I very rarely drink. It's probably been more than 3 months since I even took an Ibuprofen.

I think I'm gonna be alright.

and trust me, I'm always the one saying "better safe than sorry"
