acetaminophen and oxycodone question...

Swim has been taking four 10 / 325 oxys 3 times per day... (one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and the last at night)

swim has been doing it this way for about 5 days... (before, swim was just taking 40 mg per day)...

swim's total acetaminophen per intake is 1300 mg... that puts swim at 3900 mg per day...

this afternoon swim felt nauseated and swim got a little nervous about taking so much acetaminophen every day for the past 5 days...

swim has decided to only take 2600 mg per day from now on...

should swim have any liver damage?

swim knows about CWE, but swim thinks he feels better when he just takes the extra 300 mg (4 x 325 = 1300... 300 being the extra) swim saw it on a friend's lortab bottle that swim's friend could take 2 pills of lortab 10/650s... which is 1300!

so swim thought it would be okay...

please help swim!

thanks!
 
That's a hefty amount of acetometaphine to be taking on a regular basis IMO. Long term it's going to effect your liver. Why don't you do a CWE?

Acetaminophen is the #1 cause of liver failure in the US. It's actually quite dangerous, particularly because it is OTC and people have this sense that it's innocuous.

3900/day is definitely more than I'd take. I would suggest doing a cold water extraction (CWE) to reduce this amount. I'd also recommend taking some liver protective/healing supplements like s-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAMe) and n-acetyl-l-cysteine.
 
ahh that was annoying to read.

IF you plan on taking that much regularly - CWE it (as said..over and over, in here and in other threads). Take a look at the CWE thread (search it). You probably are alright now in terms of damage but give it time ? - *don't give it time ;)
 
definitely never gonna do it again...
what should I be on the lookout for now?

I don't feel nauseated any more...

I don't have any right torso pain, nothing else really...

scary stuff... can't believe I messed up :-( arghhhh


I should be ok right?

thanks again guys and gals

You should be alright (as in not in liver failure.) The kicker about liver failure is that it is asymptomatic for up to 3 days after it's dead, so you don't know anythings wrong until it's too late to do anything but a transplant.

Just always do a CWE and I'd definitely take some liver health supplements to help your liver repair any potential damage.
 
Yellowing of the skin is a sign of problems with your liver. But that happens after prolonged use of high amounts of said substance
