Opioids hydrocodone/APAP too much?

I've taken 10 hydrocodone/500 Acetaminophen pills kind of heavily in the last few days I am now up a little late tonight worried because I don't feel very good. I know that I've acted irresponsibility in the frequency and the amounts in which I have taken these drugs.

I'll start with a history of how I've taken these pills in the past days:

Dec. 27: I took a total of 3000 acetaminophen. (The pills I took on these days were only 5 hydro/500 APAP) This is the largest amount that I took.
Dec. 28: I took 1500 acetaminophen
Yesterday I took three of these pills at 12:00 PM in the afternoon and then took 2 more, but with a CWE, at around 5:00. so total of 1500 APAP.
Today, I took three of these pills at 2:00 and then two more at 5:30 without a CWE on either. This totals to about 2500 APAP altogether for today's intake.

It's now 4:00 AM and I'm afraid to go to sleep because I'm a little neausiuos and am having slight cramps in my stomach area. I know the limit per day is supposedly 3000 to 4000 per day but I'm just worried about this nausea. I weight 145 pounds and I haven't taken hydrocodone in months before this last binge. Do you guys think I have anything to worry about?

sorry if this message is missing information or scattered. I'm really out of it and nervous. It might be important to add that I smoked weed tonight and might just be paranoid.
 
You should be fine, a stomach ache can be caused by a lot of things.

I still am going to suggest you look into the CWE mega thread, so you can perform a cold water extract efficiently in any future scenario.
 
Thank you for the quick response. I'm definitely going to be using CWE as a rule in the future if I continue to use these drugs.
 
You should look into taking milk thistle to help your liver out, although the jury is still as to whether or not it definitely helps.
 
I just experienced Diarrhea, is this a sign I should worry about in this situation? And I'm very close to vomiting.

Idk if these are signs that I need to go to a hospital or that I just went a little overboard and am suffering repercussions. I'm not in a lot of pain, just uncomfortable.

If you're experiencing diarrhea, then most likely you're going through minor vicodin withdrawals...another possible candidate for the nausea you've been experiencing...

As far as the APAP you've been ingesting, you should be fine as you've stayed under the minimum every day...I've exceeded the maximum amount (which I do not suggest anyone do) for that many days if not longer and while I did have a spot of jaundice on my cheek for about a week, I'm fine now. Do exercise caution with apap though...it, in itself isn't a toxic chemical, but it has an extremely toxic metabolite which is responsible for the hepatic damage it does. You might want to look into finding an inhibitor of the enzyme that breaks apap down into this compound (I can't remember which enzyme it is, but it can easily be researched) to be taken about an hour before apap ingestion.
 
i've found that even the 5/500's ALWAYS make me nauseas, no matter what. i can take 4 10/325's (40mg's) and get all the good effects of the opiates without anything adverse, but if i try to take even 4 or 5 5/500's (25mg's), something about the tylenol/hydro ratio really messes me up. nausea, dry mouth, stomach aches, the like. Jktm is right, as long as you've kept it under 4000mg's of tylenol a day you're likely in no imminent medical danger, probably just experiencing this same strange adverse reaction i get. it's gonna suck tonight, but in my experience it'll definitely pass. lemon-lime gatorade son, lemon-lime.
