you'll be OK, however DO NOT take this much Tylenol again, Tylenol can wreck your liver, and an overdose is a slow painful death. You can try taking Tylenol and Advil at the same time to increase pain relief, you should also speak to your doctor about the pain that you are having.
you can take 1,000 mg of Tylenol and 400 mg of Advil together instead of taking so much acetametophin

The thing is this....it depends on the dosage of each pill. If you took tylenol that was 500 mg per pill then you would have taken 3000 mg of tylenol, however if you took tylenol arthritis which is 650 mg per pill your looking at almost 4000 mg of tylenol.
My guide is this, if you are not feeling right and are concerned then yes I would report to your doctor or an emergency room. Reason being is that everyones body reacts differently to medication and taking that much tylenol can have adverse affects.

Six Tylenol is stupid to take if 2 aren't going to help then taking more won't read labels, and if you are so numb in bed how are you getting on your PC and typing for advice go through them up.

6 Tylenol is a few over the suggested dosage you should be fine though. If you are in that much pain you should tell your doctor so he can prescribe something stronger for you.

You shouldn't take that much, but I doubt if it will hurt you this once. Tylenol is bad for your liver and kidneys if used in excess. However, this is abuse over a length of time.
You will be just fine. Don't do it anymore, OK?

might as well just to be on the safe side, but in my honest opinion i don't think your numbness has anything to do with how much tylenol you took cause i do that all the time

You're fine with six tylenol. I know someone who tried to overdose and she took 45 tylenol. She's doing just fine.

Advil has 200 mg/pill. Tylenol has closer to 500 mg/pill.
Yes, I would call your doctor. If you can't get out of bed, call your doctor! Also, how are you typing this?

It's too much, but hardly a lethal dose. If you're having too much pain, try a stronger pain reliever (like Motrin or Naprosyn), or ask your doc for something stronger.
