Read the label on the drug.  It's not just about the drug but also about your body mass and the state of your health.

An overdose of paracetamol causes liver damage that, if not treated quickly, is very dangerous. As little as 10-15g (20- 30 tablets) taken in one go can be fatal. A paracetamol overdose is particularly dangerous because the damage sometimes isn't apparent for 4-6 days after the drug has been taken. So, even if someone who has taken a paracetamol overdose seems fine and doesn't have any symptoms, it is vital that they are taken to hospital urgently. More rarely, paracetamol overdose can also cause severe kidney damage.

It should say on the bottle...you could call your local pharmacy. If you are asking the question you probably shouldn't take the pills and see your doctor for your new pain.

The amount of time any drug can be detected in one's system can vary from person to person and test to test. It certainly can also depend on the amount of the drug taken and when it was taken relative to the time of the test. Keeping in mind that there is no 100% hard and fast rule for how long a drug will be in one's system, Vicodin can stay in your system for approximately 5 days after use.

Right the way after you take the pill, maybe after 1-3 hours. If you don't, the dose is probvably too low.

The Hydrocodone that you are taking is not a high dose. There is a 750 that you can take if your Dr. allows it or he may tell you to try taking two of the 350mg tablets. If the medication isn't working for your pain you should call him/her and let them know that it isn't taking care of the problem. You shouldn't have to be in pain and maybe he can prescribe a stronger dose or even the extra strength Vicodin (Hydrocodone(generic for Vicodin) worked in a pharmacy for 6 yrs. filling scripts. Good luck to you , I hope that you feel better and call your Dr.

Weed takes varying amounts depending on how much fat is in your body and how much weed you smoke, but always at least a week...generally 1 week (radioactively traceable to 1 month)! Vicodin should be totally out in 3 days!

If you took enough to make yourself pass out then you did overdose. Meaning took more than the recommended amount. Very dangerous\n\n\n\nWhy are you trying to hurt yourself? You wont get a buzz from doing stupid stuff like that you will be more likely to hurt yourself. Not kill but have horrible ramifacations that could last a lifetime. You think your life is bad or was bad? Wait until you have to have medical treatment for what you have done to yourself. I am only telling you this because I care. I don't know you but I do care. Please talk to someone. You don't have to tell them what you did but talk to them about what you are going through so you don't let this happen again.

I can't remember the exact half life of this particular narcotic, but I would go with less than 5 days...

6 Months I believe. Go to www.erowid.org   That page will answer EVERYTHING you've ever wanted to know about drugs.

More than likely it will make you sick and you will vomit..depends on what and how much.  Pain meds are made to where they will make you sick if you take too many. Sleeping pills....depends..probably won't kill you but you may sleep for a while (I tried killing myself with sleeping pills, I just got high and didn't sleep for days).

No, not an overdose. But certainly on the limits of most peoples abiltiy to process it, and generally said to be a recommended MAX dosage per day...for upto a week.\n\nIf the person was not drinking enough fluids &  generally unhealthy it may accumulate and cause accute liver damage.\n\nTypically 8g is classified as a maximum or highly dangerous dose warranting immediate hospital care.

Taking pills is not a good idea unless you have a prescription. Vicodin is highly addictive and is in the opiate family (same as morphine/heroine) With that said, depending on how many you are taking each day, it can stay in your system anywhere from 3-5 days. I have seen people taking these pills and it take 30 days until their body has fully gone back to normal but that is at taking numerous pills a day. Please be careful with this medication.

Lethal doses are usually measured in something like grams per kilogram of body weight.\n\nYou can find the lethal dose of marijuana at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/mj_overdose.htm\n\nThe lowest estimate is about one-third your body weight. The highest is 1,500 pounds - consumed in fifteeen minutes.\n\nIf by "overdose" you mean "enough to make you uncomfortable", that depends on the person. Novices can experience it quite readily. Experienced users can consume large quantities with no apparent ill effects -- other than going to sleep of wanting to eat.\n\nFor heroin, the "overdose" amount (that which will kill) is open to question. For inexperienced users, the amount can be fairly small. Addicts, on the other hand, can take quite large doses of pure heroin with no ill effects. See, for example, Chapter 12. The "heroin overdose" mystery and other occupational hazards of addiction at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/studies/cu/cu12.htm\n\nIt is believed that most cases of heroin "overdose" in the US are really the result of impurities in the black market heroin. See the article linked above for a fuller explanation.\n\nOverdose deaths from cocaine are actually fairly low in the US - a few thousand per year -- about the same number as die from common drugs like Tylenol.
