depends on what strength. being that you just said vicodin, that is 5-500. meaning 5 mg hydrocodone and 500 mg of tylenol in each tab. you are not supposed to take any more than 4000 mg or 8 tabs of tylenol a day. any more than this can cause severe liver damage. there is no "overdose" info for the hydrocodone because the only way to know how much is too much is when your heart stops. if you overdose, it will suppress your central nervous system and you will die. so, taking 20 at a time would be a very bad thing!

Frankly I dont know what your asking. You want to know what 20 pills would do to you if you took them but your not going to take them.Numb you a little hu?? the codiene in the vicodin might numb you, hell it may make you feel damn good but the tylenol that is in there will blow your liver up!!
You cant take 20 vicodine and live no matter how big or how tall you are!!!

Hydrocodone or dihydrocodeinone (marketed as VICODIN, Anexsia, Dicodid, Hycodan, Hycomine, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Novahistex, Hydroco, Tussionex, Vicoprofen) is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from two of the naturally occurring opiates, codeine and thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally active narcotic analgesic and antitussive. Sales and production of this drug have increased significantly in recent years, as have diversion and illicit use. Hydrocodone is commonly available in tablet, capsule and syrup form.
How should I take acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
• Use this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
• An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious harm. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. Taking more acetaminophen could cause damage to your liver. One acetaminophen and hydrocodone tablet may contain up to 750 mg of acetaminophen. Know the amount of acetaminophen in the specific product you are taking.
• If your medicine contains 650 mg of acetaminophen or more per tablet, take no more than 5 tablets in 24 hours. If your medicine contains 500 mg or less of acetaminophen,TAKE NO MORE THAN 8 TABLETS IN 24 HOURS. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
• Take this medicine with a full glass of water.
• You may take the medication with food or milk if it causes stomach upset.
• Measure the liquid form of this medication with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
• Drink 6 to 8 full glasses of water daily to help prevent constipation while you are taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Ask your doctor about ways to increase the fiber in your diet. Do not use a stool softener (laxative) without first asking your doctor.
• If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using acetaminophen and hydrocodone. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
• You may have withdrawal symptoms when you stop using this medication after using it over a long period of time. Do not stop taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to take less and less before you stop the medication completely.
• Store acetaminophen and hydrocodone at room temperature away from moisture and h

They would make you very sick and you would not like what they would have to do to you. And how much they are is on the bottle so look at it. Those are thing you do not play around with
