MG's to Grams

[secwv80mg]

most people say it takes about 4 grams of APAP to od, well how many MG's is 4 grams?

 

[Jesus H Christ]

4,000

That's only 8 extra strenth Tylenol. An "OD" is much more than that.

Talk about the failure of modern education...

4g is the max recommended does of tylenol. 6-8g is a more conservative amount to cause an od, with 8+g more than likely being very very bad for you (death, liver damage anal leakage).

A fatal acetometaphan overdose is closer to 15-20g's depending on body weight/metabolism. I've personally had up 12g's without any problems, though im sure it wasnt to my benefit. In interest of health its best to stay below 4-5grams. And jesus christ, 1g= 1000mg.

I believe the lowest reported dose actually resulting in significant problems is 11 g.

 

[Jesus H Christ]

I wouldn't take anymore than I have to. If you want to get fucked up and need to take more than 4g of APAP at one time, FUCK IT. Don't fuck your liver.

I believe the lowest reported dose actually resulting in significant problems is 11 g.

there are two cases i can recall, one from '97 and one '00 where 8-10g caused major liver problems, one of which resulted in death within a week. now, whether or not there was any other circumstances around it, i don't recall. i'll try to look a link up for you guys.

 

[hopeless_without_acid]

16 grams is the lethal dose.

I'm with Jumbo on this one...

I learned conversions back in 2nd or 3rd grade. Come on people. I can still remember the little paper rulers they gave us and made us measure things in centimeters and then convert it to milimeters.

Maybe GWB has got a point about american education....
