Are 3 Tylenol Pm's deadly or lethal in any way shape or form..like can i die or anything bad?

Question

Ive only taken Tylenol PM 2 times in my life.. last night i took 2 and it didnt really do anything..i was a little tired but it wasnt as potent as the first time i took them..so i was wondering if taking 3 is safe...im 15 years old im 5'10 and i weigh 146 pounds...im not like addicted or anything either....its just for tonight im in alot of pain from football and i wanna go to sleep early

Answer 1

I feel your pain, I played H.S. Football. skip the Tylenol, have a huge diner, hot, hot shower or tub, go right too bed, your body will take over and you be a sleep fast. Millions of boys got by without the Tylenol before they were invented you don't need them for real. Try it my way you'll see.

Answer 2

They say on the bottle do not consume more than 8 in 24 hrs. Usually OTCs like Tylenol are safe unless you consume the whole bottle and still there it takes time for harm to be done. I;ve took 3 Tylenol PMs before and aside from sleeping a little too long nothing happened.

Answer 3

Usually there's a pill to weight guide on the bottle. From past experience I recently got yelled at by the doctor at the hospital for taking 5 ibuprofen when I broke my ankle. She said that you should never take more than 3 every 4 hours. Tylenol PM has more stuff in in than just ibuprofen so 3 at once probably isn't smart.

Answer 4

Take only as directed on the bottle. 3 is too many at once. Don't drink anything with caffeine (coffee, coke, etc. - or eat chocolate before you to to bed.) 3 wont help you sleep anymore than 2.
If your pain is bad, ask the team's physician for something mild to temporarily help you sleep. Or ask your own doctor. Good luck with football!

Answer 5

no, they're not lethal... however there's a good chance you'll feel a little sick (or at least have a hard time waking up in the morning)

...i found this on drugs.com:

"What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention.
Symptoms of an acetaminophen and diphenhydramine overdose may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, sweating, seizures, confusion, sedation, insomnia, tremor, hallucinations, and an irregular heartbeat."

Answer 6

I wouldn't take more than the recommended amount. If you're still amped up from football, you could have trouble getting to sleep. I recommend looking into natural sleep aids. It's too easy to get addicted to chemical sleep aids. Avoid chocolate, caffiene, etc. before bed.

Answer 7

I cannot tell you if it will affect you negatively but you should be doing something like soaking in a bath with Epsom salt after practice. Cheap and perfectly safe. Do not ingest energy drinks, bars, or caffeine after about 1PM. That might help you fall asleep faster.

Answer 8

No, its not deadly or lethal, but it is bad for your liver when you ingest high levels of tylenol. It can be a dangerous substance when you don't follow correct dosage instructions. Three probably won't hurt you, but I wouldn't push it.

Answer 9

no it won't hurt I truthfully just took 3. If you have trouble sleeping ask your mom or your dad to get something from the doc. Cause if you take to many Tylenol it can cause liver damage!
