Hey,
Last night I found some old hydrocodone-acetaminophen (5-500) in my medicine drawer, so i decided to check if it's ok to take them, even though they're past their consumption date by a few years. So i took one, waited 30 minutes, didnt feel anything; took another after another 30 minutes, nothing; but then I went full retard and crushed up 5 of them, poured them in a glass filled with water and downed the whole thing. I felt fine in the beginning, kinda warm and comfortable; but later on, at like 6 am, I start to feel like im not getting enough oxygen (wasn't panicking) and that I have irregular heartbeats. When i woke up, i started throwing up what i think was blood. Six hours later, i'm feeling fine, just not 100%, and im worried that i fucked up and that i might have damaged my stomach, kidneys and/or liver.
Can someone please help???

I'm 18, weigh around 160lbs and am 6ft.
 
It would have been the acetaminophen. 7 tablets is 3.5 grams which is too much all at once. 4 grams is the limit over 24 hours and even that is a fair bit. Hopefully, you didn't do any permanent damage, though I recommend getting checked out just in case as I really don't like the sound of that throwing up blood thing..

Please, if you are going to be taking opiate tablets with acetaminophen, do a cold water extraction (CWE).

Hope everything's alright.
 
You should be fine. Ive taken 10 at a time. The tylenol might make you a little sick. Its probably just in your head. Take a nap and relax.
 
If you having trouble breathing then you need to call for medical attention. You took 3000mg of APAP which can mess about with your stomach and liver considering the max you should take at once is 1000mg.

When people are taking pills with APAP then they should consider doing a cold water extraction on them first.
