How many mg of aceteminophen will get you high? I have about 25, 500mg pills. And about 10, 200mg of ibuprofen. So basically how many do i need to get high?
 
Omg.

No, just no. You will not get high. And you will just get sick and damage your liver in the process.
 
you do not get high of acetaminophen (APAP). if you need to take it for legitimate reasons do not exceed 3-4000mg spread over a 24 hour period.

toxicity symptoms include, and usually don't start to become apparent until 24 hours after ingestion, abdominal pain and nausea. liver failure may occur in extreme cases with symptoms such as low blood sugar, low blood pH, easy bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy.

Acetaminophen will not get you at all high. At most it might make you feel sick, and at worst you will overdose and seriously damage your liver. Please do not try to get high of acetaminophen.

Ibuprofen will not get you high and taking to much can damage your stomach.

If you need to take them for legitimate pain, take them in the recommended doses on the bottle only. You will seriously get no kind of high at all from these.

This is not true!
Acetaminophen is NOT an anti-inflammatory.

Ibuprofen is.

Acetaminophen is used to treat inflammatory pain, and is technically an anti-inflammatory, but it is often not classified as an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) because it is generally a weak anti-inflammatory, so other effects are presumed to be responsible for much of the analgesia. However, in some studies, anti-inflammatory activity comparable to other NSAIDs was actually observed. It is not understood how acetaminophen works, it has been suggested it might in some way block pain signals.

I've never heard this before.

Paracetamol/Acetaminophen has analgesic and antipyretic properties. However, it has no anti-inflammatory effect and does not share the antirheumatic properties of the salicylates.


(Not trying to argue with you Swimmingdancer, just saying what I know and have studied).
 
I might be wrong. I was just basing it off and article I'd read, which IIRC did not actually show its sources. Looking at Wikipedia as well, it says:

it is not generally classified as an NSAID because it exhibits only weak anti-inflammatory activity... Paracetamol has relatively little anti-inflammatory activity compared to analgesics such as aspirin and ibuprofen... It is not considered an NSAID despite the evidence that paracetamol and NSAIDs have some similar pharmacological activity.... in some circumstances, even peripheral anti-inflammatory activity comparable to other NSAIDs can be observed.

But it's Wikipedia and they don't really give any reliable sources for many of those statements (which is actually fairly surprising for a drug/medical article). Maybe the article I read was just basing it off that Wikipedia entry. Looking at Google Scholar, I couldn't easily find much other than vague statements such as the anti-inflammatory action is "insignificant".

Anyway, it doesn't really matter as I was agreeing that it wasn't classed as an NSAID and its mechanism of action is not understood. Perhaps it has weak anti-inflammatory properties, perhaps it has none, perhaps it's highly variable. Regardless it has absolutely no recreational value :)
(and for me it doesn't even have any analgesic value)
 
^Yeah, I was thinking that too, but just thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt just on the off chance they aren't, since just because we think something is obvious common knowledge doesn't mean everyone does, and I'd feel bad if some kid who was seriously in need of reliable info about drugs got immediately shut down :)

Anyway, it's been fully answered already, so I'm going to close it.
