When does taking to many pills become dangerous?

[GrandMasterK]

I need to fall asleep before 2 a.m. central so i'm not tired when I have to get up. Well I can only ever fall asleep when im tired. I took 3 Tylenol PMs to get me tired, and man they work very well, they make me feel like I haven't slept in 3 days. Well I forgot I took them because only 15 minutes went by and they didn't kick in and I didn't realize until after I got another 3 (drank it down with coca-cola) and headed back up to my room that I had already taken some. Not usually in my nature to forget something like that I guess my mind was to much on what im working on.

 

My question is, did I take a dangerous amount? Right now is about 15 minutes after I took the last 3 and yes im very tired. My chest feels alittle weird but it might just be cause im kind of nervous.

 

To be specific it's Tylenol PM extra strength. I've taken 6 in the span of half an hour, I'm 6'3 and weigh about 220 pounds.

you`ll live, but that was a stupid thing to do!

 

I`m glad it was Coke you had with it and not Alcohol, that combined with sleep, could have slowed your heart right down to a stall.

staying awake would have been the smartest thing to do if you couldn`t have made yourself sick.

 

dumb dumb dumb!!!!

As YT said, you'll live.

Have you ever tried Melatonin as a sleep aid? I've tried them, and they didn't work for me, but a friend of mine takes it daily (nightly) and says they're wonderful.

2 pints of Guiness and a good book, sleep... No Problem!

The two main actives in Tylenol PM are acetaminophen(tylenol) and diphenhydramine(weak anti-cholinergic/histamine).

 

Dosages of 2500mg+ acetaminophan can damage your liver, especially if combined with alcohol.

 

Dosages reaching 250mg of diphenhydramine will make you delerious and hallucinate.

 

 

You should be fine if you only took 6. I've known idiots who take around 10 to get "high" and they survived.
