OK stop with the crazy people lets be real just for a sec if you ARE pregnant and you take that many sure you may easily kill the baby but the pain you will endure from the miscarriage is far worse than you are dealing with now you need to at least call the hospital and tell a nurse they may give you the assurance that they will help you thru this if your trying to kill the baby there are much easier ways of doing it than on your own I personally don't think an abortion is right for me but think that for some I understand why they do it but if you hurt yourself now you may be stopping yourself from having babies in the future and yes some women never find their true love and never want kids but if you think you may find your prince charming and you both decide on having kids and you cant because you screwed yourself up as a young woman I assure you the pain that you will endure from not being able to EVER bear children is far greater than any you will experience now please at least call the hospital

There are a lot of misinformed individuals who will tell you that taking a lot of Tylenol is ok. NOT! Tylenol is toxic to the liver and depending on the condition of your liver to begin with, even 7 extra strength pills can cause liver failure. Liver failure is serious, without a liver you will die. You need to tell a parent and doctor what you have done because you may need to go in to get a serum tylenol level and liver function tests drawn. There is a drug given that can help protect your liver called mucomyst but is not available over the counter and must be started asap. Go to the local immediate care center or ER. You also need to ask yourself WHY you decided to "pill pop". This is not a problem to be taken lightly and perhaps they need to reevaluate your psychiatric issues.

Tylenol can damage your liver, and it can do it pretty quickly if you take too much, especially if you drink alcohol. You shouldn't mix pain killers, especially large doses of pain killers with anti deppressants. Are you in pain? Is that why you took seven tylenol? ARE you trying to hurt yourself? If you are, call 911. You need to get some help asap. There is nothing on this earth that would be reason enough to end your life. Things always seem worse than they are. Talk to someone you trust and get some help. Good luck and God bless.

That's dangerous. You should take a maximum of 2 pills every six hours. No more than 8 tablets per 24 hours. Seven tablets within several minutes it's overdose. You're lucky to be alive. Tylenol will kill your liver if you take more than 8 pills per day. I'm in a situation that I have to take several medications and what I said above, is straight from my doctor. Try to look into natural remedies. You'll be surprised. Good luck!

Don't take any more! This question should be answered by some one at the hospital. Just call and ask them. Tylenol is extremely hard on your liver. Call now.

Seven tylenol is much too much. You exceeded the dosage in the directions. You need to eat something or drink some milk and pray you have not damaged your liver. Talk to your doctor about impulse control ASAP. I wish you the best, please get this under control while you still have a chance.

Normal prescription is 1tablets for kids and 1 to 2 tablets every six hours for adults or as prescribed by the doctor. Taking more than the prescribed number of tablets will result in an overdose that developes side effects (ie. dizziness, vommitting, reddish of the skin, etc.)

Stupid thing to do really wasn't it, any chemical that you injest to far too much. What was the underlying cause of you needing to take them in the first place? Are you eating correctly, lots of fresh fruit & vegetables, are you drinking enough fresh water. Are you stressed? If you are down try wearing some yellow, yellow will clear your thinking, and make you feel happier all round. All the best.

Don't take any more than 8 Tylenol in one day. It can mess with your liver
