FFS, the whole point of me saying that was to demonstrate that everyone is different, so what might be deadly for one person is okay for another. Did you not read the 'obviously I don't recommend you do this'? I'm trying to reassure the guy after he's already taken a dose. Get a life.
You obviously don't understand that what I wrote was not intended as saying it's okay to do this! He's already taken his paracetamol so I'm trying to tell him that large doses aren't necessarily a death sentence. I've a good mind to report you for being a dick. Go ahead, report me for saying that too.
Your intentions are irrelevant. There is still in the message the idea of really large doses being safe because you are providing yourself as an example. You then reinforce your position that large doses aren't a big deal by literally saying big doses are fine for some.
Personally, I think your intentions are not what you are now defensively trying to shield yourself with. I hear bragging. I'm hearing a smug desire to slur medical guidelines and doctors by waving around your self-anecdote as proof they are wrong. I'm hearing you recommend that if you take a large overdose of a deadly toxin,that you don't have to worry and needn't seek medical help. I read your "obviously" caveats as disingenuous, a lip service to harm reduction and perhaps even a contemptuous sarcastic nod towards the rules. You don't sound like you are coming from a place of care, and your position is reckless, kind of the opposite of care.
You have zero knowledge about what is happening inside that guy, or inside all future readers who come the thread with their own concerns. You don't know the medical history of that guy and all future readers of your comment; you don't know their using history, their metabolism, their chemistry, their genetic disposition. The impacts of one single acute dose, and the impacts of an accumulation of doses over a short period will vary from person to person for many reasons and those reasons don't even remain consistent. What is safe and sensible is to err on the most cautious side, not to set the bar at the alleged data point from an anecdote found on a forum. It's certainly not sensible or safe to set the bar at a dose level where survival is is questionable, but hey since we have an alleged anomalous story, let's set the safety bar there. Something else that varies that you also have no information on which to offer any opinion are lifetime accumulated damage to the liver to date from all sources. Even the anecdotal evidence in an example is misleading to offer as meaningful, because a smaller dose could kill that same person on another occasion because their variables were different on that occasion. People die all the time, overdosing on dosages that hadn't harmed them before. Acetaminophen is the leading cause of liver failure.
What you have done is told someone not to be cautious, not to practice self-care. You've also normalized and made seem safe the taking of large doses. You've endorsed doubting or ignoring all together, any medical and other official information sources. You've provided a suggestive deterrent to asking the people best able to help--his doctor who is more informed about his patient's history, and biological make-up than you are, or just any doctor or hospitals who could do tests and offer any treatments for what the test results provide.
Something that is true is a person can ingest a lethal dose of acetaminophen and have it take days to complete the damage to the liver that kills. During those days, there is sometimes a window of time for lifesaving treatment. That window often closes before there are any symptoms to alarm the person who ingested the drug to seek help. So a person can be dying an avoidable death completely unaware. I have watched many people die because nothing felt wrong to them and by the time it did, it was too late for doctors to help.
Acetaminophen can be a very dangerous drug we don't respect how powerful and toxic it is. It's in so many otc and script products, we think it is harmless because it pads out so many products. It isn't hard to end up taking too much of one product, especially if we are seeking opiates, but we can also end up in the toxic zone by mixing and maxing blindly. It is both the ubiquity and the laissez faire attitudes that lead many people to think of it as harmless. Maybe the worst threat is it is a silent danger destroying without warning. Slowly accumulating damage over time usually won't produce pain or symptoms. Worse, taking a dose of acute lethal toxicity also often won't produce pain or symptoms until the liver shuts down and it is too late for help. At that point you will die, and you will die knowing if you'd seen a doctor the day before, you probably would have lived.
I think it is dangerous for strangers on the internet to debate on how much of something can someone "really" take, and influence impressionable minds--or minds desperate for opiates willing to buy any story that means more will still be safe.
