Accidentally OD'd on paracetamol - Halp

[InkedMuttley]

Srs - Just took 1x500mg paracetamol tablet for my ringing ear ache and then drunk most of a cup of lempsip for my shitty head cold, which has 1000mg of paracetamol in it.

Will I be okay?

Thanks.

For a headache I take 4 paracetamols at a time, I've never had any ill effects from taking that many. Also I was given some Spanish paracetamols by a friend...they are 1000mg per tab and their recommended dose is 2 tabs so you'll be fine.

I took 14 500mg tablets in a day when I was younger.. Only thing that stopped the pain of my stomach ulcer, however I felt drowsy as fook!!

^^ At what point did you think "That stomach ulcer hurts enough that I should take 8 times the recommended max dose rather than going to see a doctor". Cause to me that just sounds f*cking stupid. Particularly as Paracetamol wont neccessarily be the correct medication for that type of ailment.

I've never taken a paracetemol in my life. You lot need to man up and deal with things rather than popping pills!!

However theres no chance of me ever taking one now, my Dad took one for the first time last week....he was alergic to it and came out in a massive rash, knowing my luck he's passed that kinda shit onto me.

i usually wash them down with vodka or whiskey

ones to watch are ibruprofen they can burn stomach linging like my mate found out not been able to eat properly for 6 months now and stil on the mend

I was 14 at the time, and obviously not something I do now, I never take tablets now, don't find them useful at all..

I'm with you on this one tbh, can't remember the last time I took any painkillers other than when my arms were broken. I only took it because I was really tired and cba with being kept up because of a throbbing ear ache. A lot of people certainly over use them for mild headaches etc which could be dealt with better by eating properly and keeping hydrated. The amount Hannah complains of a headache when she hasn't drank anything all day is beside me

tramadol and morphine ftw, paracetomol doesn't even touch me with how badly my leg is screwed up
