Opioids OD or what?

I have no idea what went on last night. Someone please tell me what they think because for all I know I could be overreacting.
First off, there's no denying I'm in a very very dark place right now which is what brought me to abuse and become addicted to prescription painkillers. It's been about three months now. I started off on Tramadol and was up to taking 400mg (50-100mg was what the doctor said to take) when my prescription ran out and then I couldn't find anywhere to get any so I stole a bottle of oxycodone and a bottle of hydrocodone from my mom even though I knew I'd get caught. I ran out of those about a week and a half ago but I got my wisdom teeth removed on Friday. I think I took 40mg of Percocet last night but honestly I can't remember and it could be a few more than that, probably not more than 55mg though. Anyways, I'd never taken a dosage that high of oxy before. I also had taken 2 800mg Motrins earlier in the day, the latest one being 3-4 hours before the Percocet. Within thirty minutes, I felt differently than I ever have on opiates before. When I first started taking painkillers I got fucked up on the lowest of doses. I was heavily sedated on 100mg of Tramadol and able to nod off on really low doses as well but then that stopped pretty quickly as my tolerance built. I was running into things, unable to balance. But I felt extremely tired in a non-sedated, non-nodding kind of way... It wasn't at all pleasurable like it had been in the past, it just...was. I remember thinking, "This is what being dead feels like." Because my mind just stopped but in a way I'm not used to and I actually felt like I was dead, just laying there with my eyes closed. My breathing was obviously pretty shallow, shallow enough for me to notice it was abnormal. My heart rate was really slow for a while but at one point my heart kicked back up suddenly for a few minutes before settling back down.
I feel like that's too low for me to have had an overdose, but at the same time, my reaction to it was completely abnormal. Or could it have been an acetaminophen overdose? I have hepatitis c and I don't know if my daily use has messed with my liver but it could have because I haven't had a panel done since before I started with the pain pills. I'm 110lbs, 5'5". I totally could be overreacting because I'm prone to doing that, but I'm freaked out.

You're doing too much so it sounds. And all of that acetaminophen is not good for you at all-whether you have liver disease or not. If you need to continue taking those same pills that contain acetaminophen, you need to start cold water extraction NOW; not a dose or two later, but the now dose! Or even better, find a substance that doesn't contain APAP if you feel the need to take something.

It would also be wise to make an appointment to get your liver examined-so you know what measures you need to take-to better care for yourself.

Jesus man. You have hep c and you're taking all of that APAP? No offense, but that's not smart. Motrin doesn't do shit to get you high btw. Don't waste your time and your liver on that either. Like stated above learn to CWE. I have a normal liver and I STILL CWE. Because APAP will kill your liver disease or not. Abusing drugs is never a good idea, it's especially bad in your case with hep c. But I'm not gonna be hypocritical because I was once in the same boat. All I can advise is that you stop the Motrin, start cold water extractions, and even better, switch to an opiate without APAP such as: roxicodone, morphine sulfate, dilaudid, opana, zohydro, shit even dope would take less of a toll on your liver than all that crappy low dose Percocet. Be smart. Either quit while you can, or make the switch to safer opiate use. You don't want to be pushin up daisies because you killed your liver when you could've avoided it.

The low does weaker for opiates are the most dangerous ones, because they tend to have high doses of Tylenol/APAP included,which is really bad for the liver. You gotta pick up the ones with Pure Hydromorphone/OxyMorphone/oxycodone, and then just shave off the scrapings with a white, razer blade, seasoned, smooth, Cuts through like bones.

Yeah I am gathering from this that they were 5 mg percocets (so prob 325 mg APAP in each). That means around 2600-3575 mg of APAP. That is not a horribly high dose but it is definitely a bad idea if you have hepatitis C.

I don't think it was an overdose on the APAP, though. You are obviously young and so I doubt the Hep c has done any serious liver damage to the point where it couldn't handle that much. More than likely it is a combination of too much oxycodone and the anxiety taking too much created. Anxiety can suck the euphoria right out of the high and just leave you feeling really sedated and scared.

Yeah I know it's really bad for me... I've been pretty self destructive for years and years so that's not even a motivation to stop, sadly. I'll try cold water extraction on what I have left of the pills if I need them. And the Motrin wasn't to get me high, it was because I got my wisdom teeth removed and I was supposed to be taking that for it. Thanks for the help guys

Well the Motrin (ibuprofen) affects ones kidneys not their liver like APAP does so that is not a big issue. And as far as age goes that has no bearing on how little or how much damage the hep C may or may not have done to the liver.

It may not be an enormous amount of APAP but it is wayy to much for someone with liver disease. Matter of fact the new maximum amount of recommended APAP intake for someone with a healthy liver is 3000mg per day/24 hours.

OP, if you have been self destructive for years and say that this information is not going to stop you then why even make the post and/or act concerned about any of it? Are you not going to take anyones advice into consideration as you make it sound in your last post?
