4. I am concerned about your liver, dude!
All that EtOH and Acetaminophen could be deadly.

12. Done it before KW....
My liver is not going to be what kills me. My kidneys will. And sooner rather than later.

Since it is only 930 your time...how the hell are you?

16. I am well. Seriously, your liver cannot sustain the amounts of alcohol and acetaminophen
in a lot of cases 3-4 grams of acetaminophen is a deadly dose. That is WITHOUT the alcohol. You have had 3 grams with alcohol...

Please get to the ER.

5. Get off the damned internet and call a mental health professional, now.
Better yet, call 911 and let them know how many vikes you just took, and that you're drinking, because you're going to need medical attention to keep your liver.

7. No, you're not. That much tylenol at once can be deadly, in combination with alcohol.
I'm serious, call a doctor now.

Can you at least care enough not to live blog your suicide attempt?
We can't make you not want to hurt yourself, but doing this publicly hurts many other people, and a lot of us are victims of a loved one's suicide and don't really need this.

24. I would never suicide
and I would not do anything that comes close.

Someone very close to me did it, and I never will or attempt. Trust me.

I had a horrible blow today.

Someone I love left me....that's all it is.

27. 10 beers and 6 vikes is a suicide attempt.
It probably won't work, but it'll put you on the short route to the liver transplant list.

15. ..
An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious harm to your liver. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. One Vicodin tablet may contain up to 750 mg of acetaminophen. Know the amount of acetaminophen in the specific product you are taking.


So at 6 he's just over the daily limit and with 10 beers that is impairing his metabolism of the vikes

Probably survive it, have some minor liver damage, and go on. Doing this over and over again is what is harmful to the liver as well.

A big enough dose of acetominophen will overload the liver.

Dunno how his liver function tests are to start with so no way to predict his response to this.

He should get some help...

worried.

23. you know what Phil, if i didn't care i would't say anything ok?
you need help even if you think you don't, it's in your best interest to get some, not mine. I could have easily overlooked this whole thread Phil but i didn't because i do actually care so deal with it and get some help.

11. Hello,
I'm sorry you're in pain,
but pls. call 911 and get yourself to an Emergency Room.
What you've swallowed is very dangerous. Please don't go to sleep.

Okay?

Go to bed, man.

Tomorrow is another day, right? And no person, no matter how fantastic, is worth the good you'd leave behind and undone, right?

26. flvegan....
I have lost the person i wake up for in the morning.

It happened hours ago.

My mom needs me.

Nothing will happen to me.

And, I will tell you...

Your work with dogs is so impressive, I could kiss you (not in THAT way of course)

31. I hear you, friend.
Bear in mind, that who you truly "wake up for" is you, and you supplement the lives of others. I don't know your loss, but I'm sorry for what you're feeling.

You know what, my mom needs me too. There are days I don't want to get out of bed, but I do because I've got a bunch of animals AND a bunch of people that count on me. Is it the best life? No. Quite frankly, at times it sucks. Sucks to the point where if someone I cared about in a huge way wasn't there any more, I'd consider how I placed my chips on the table.

Heed these words: Life isn't about what you get, it's about what you give away.

29. Stop it!
Mixing alcohol and painkillers (which contain a lot of Tylenol) is deadly. And you won't go out in a blaze of glory, you'll go out in a blaze of puking your guts out or a blaze of liver failure (which is horribly painful and not quick). So stop and first thing tomorrow get yourself to a psych or a doctor. You can make it through one night.

I can't really diagnose this far away (and I'm not allowed to), but you seem severely depressed. There things that can be done - you don't have to hurt this bad.

Khash.

30. Listen to khash.
Liver failure isn't a good way to go. It's not in the top twenty of good ways to go. Even chronic, survivable liver damage is horrible shit to deal with.

Be nice to your liver.

35. Philboy, are you still with us?
Please respond. We're worried about you. That amount of alcohol and acetaminophen is dangerous. I have lots of friends who are recovering addicts, and a lot more of them get sick/killed by the Tylenol than the opiates.

Please get help.
