The highest I've ever heard of is 800mg at a time.
10,000mg, I would think that would cause severe liver damage and possibly bleeding in the stomach.
Why would anyone want to take that much?

I would presume like any other pain medication overdose that your liver and kidneys would shut down causing siezures and death.....a very painful death. That is only some of the outcomes there are plenty more.

You would probably have severe liver damage and maybe even possibly kidney failure. Not to mention one BIG hole in your stomach. If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, there are a lot of less painful ways - like NOT!

Possibly death. Extensive nervous system damage would be the most likely outcome. dizziness, vomiting, internal bleeding (especially of the stomach and intestines) Irreversible Liver, kidney, and brain damage, if your lucky and don't die.

Toxic level is 400mg/kg.
Could be bad with less...
It's hard on your stomach too. The doctor can prescribe 1000 mg tablets.
Not fun to take too much, could make you real sick.

I assume you can get some kind of bad bad liver damage. Your liver would probably shut down, and maybe kill you.
