If I just took 20 grams (not mg)of Tylenol what should I do? Is it a big deal? Should I just sleep it off?


Answer:
i'm questioning the accuracy of this statement (that would be 20,000mg of tylenol) but if you indeed have taken that much-you need to call 911 right away (max daily dose is 4000mg)this level of tylenol toxicidity can be fatal
can you say liver damage or
even death
call 911
i'm sure your just looking for attention but if you really took 20 grams i dont think youll be asking anymore questions on yahooanswergood luck
the maximum adult dose of tylenol is only 4 grams/day taken in 4 divided doses (1gram every 6 hours).
20 grams is 40 tablets (of 500mg each)!

.you still there?
Go to the hospital now...You may think you are OK, but tylenol doesn't start to have bad effects until it is metabolized in the liver, which can take 24-48 hours. If you and try and sleep it off, you will pay dearly for it later.There are a lot better ways to go then with fulminant hepatic failure, or live after a liver transplant...
Call 911, if you haven't already, YOU NEED SERIOUS MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY... AND SINCE IT'S BEEN AN HOUR. SLEEPING IT OFF COULD BE THE END FOR YOU, YOU SIMPLY WON'T WAKE UP
