Points of Interest:\n\n1.) TRIPLE MAXIMUM LETHAL DOSE EVEN FOR SEVERE ADDICTS: At least three days after his death, Kurt Cobain's blood contained 1.52 milligrams of morphine per litre (mg/L) plus traces of a "diazepam-like" substance. This level is widely known to represent three times the lethal dose of heroin, but it is not commonly understood that this level is three times the lethal dose even for severe heroin addicts. Generally, a blood morphine level of 0.5mg/L is caused by 75 mg - 80 mg of heroin, the established maximum lethal dose, even for severe addicts. A blood level of 1.52 mg/L generally indicates an original dose of approximately 225 mg - 240 mg of heroin. \n\n2.) INCAPACITATED OR DEAD BEFORE GUNSHOT: Large overdoses of heroin by heroin addicts are a phenomenon which is well understood. Research clearly shows that an overdose in the range of that received by Cobain would lead to immediate and complete incapacitation and/or immediate death. \n\n3.) OTHER FACTORS ENSURED OVERDOSE LETHALITY: The 1.52 mg/L blood morphine level does not compensate for the presence of diazepam, or Cobain's low body weight, both of which are well proven to substantially increase the lethality of the heroin. \n\n4.) CASE UNPARALLELED IN SUICIDE & OVERDOSE REPORTS: A review of 3586 suicides, including 760 violent suicides, shows no case involving both a gun and narcotic overdose of any kind, supporting theories regarding the absence or extreme rarity of violent suicide among addicts. \n\n5.) CASE CONSISTENT WITH HOMICIDE PATTERNS: A review of cases involving homicides shows many similarities with patterns in the Cobain case. \n\n6.) OTHER EVIDENCE INDICATES HOMICIDE: Officially acknowledged evidence exists which indicates the possibility of homicide, including a misleading missing persons report, postmortem credit card usage, handwriting discrepancies on the "suicide" note, and the lack of legible fingerprints on the weapon. It appears the police were prejudicially in favour of a suicide ruling, and that the coroner was involved in a conflict of interest predisposing him towards this major discrepancy in the evaluation of his findings. \n\n7.) CONCLUSION: HOMICIDE: The evidence indicates that a massive intravenous dose of heroin, and possibly a benzodiazepine, was administered to Cobain. The final of the two known injections incapacitated and/or killed Cobain, and the gunshot is evidence of a homicide staged to look like a suicide. The case should be re-opened by an independent investigatory body.

How could you "accidentally" take 4500 mgs.  Each pill is only about  what 200 mg. or so.  I would be very carefull about taking alot of them because they can damage your liver very badly.  A friend of mine took them by the handfuls for years for headaches and she died at the age of 34 due to liver failure.  We were all shocked.  I didn't realize they were that dangerous.  I take Advil, but I am cautious about it as I know it is hard on your stomach.  Just be cautious with any otc medicine you take as it can have deadly side effects if abused.  Luckily and hopefully you are fine.  Please don't take that much at one time again.

Aspirin, Tylenol, etc.

Best way is to get some soluble paracetamol (tylenol if you're in the USA) or aspirin and dissolve it in water as hot as you can stand. Gargle with it, then swallow it. Take regular ibuprofen as well (it's fine to take paracetamol or aspirin and ibuprofen at the same time, they work in totally different ways).

I am not sure if this is it or not but this is off the website rxlist.com\nIts the only 281 imprint that I could find.\n\nImprint Code: 281    \nDrug/Strength/Manufacturer: Acetaminophen 500mg - Tylenol Ext. St. - Granutec \nDescription: Tablet - White - Oblong

The FDA recently required manufacturers to revise the labeling of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen (brand name Motrin), to reflect a higher risk of serious complications when they are not used according to directions. Overdosage can lead to very severe consequences, including ulcers and internal bleeding. The approved dosage is for UP TO 800 mg at a time, not to exceed 3,200 mg in 24 hours. So no, it is not safe for you to take (2) 800 mg pills at once on your own decision. You should consult with a doctor or pharmacist any time you have a question about changing your dosage of a drug.

Dont rely too much on pain killers.\nToo much paracetamol aint good. Can damage your liver.\nAnd your body will be immune to pain killers, causing you to consume more and more when the need arises to have pain killers.\n\n*  Taking a warm bath or a hot water bottle encourages the muscles to relax\n* Eating a healthy diet, as constipation has an effect on the pain\n* Taking gentle exercise to relax the muscles\n\nYou might want to see a doc to make sure there arent anything that's causing the pain.

I was told this is safe to do, alternating every 2 hours.  (EG 10 am take advil, noon take tylenol, 2 pm take advil, etc.) And so you don't exceed the daily requirements of either.  However, vicodin is pretty high powered stuff, so I would make a quick call to your doctor or pharmacy about this first.

It is a medical way to say "2".\n\nIf it had Tylenol 500mg π (with two dots above it), it would say Tylenol 500mg 2 tablets

625 g X(0.85) = 531.25 g of Acetaminophen in one tablet. \nThe molecular weight of APAP is 151.17 g/mol\n531.25 g (total APAP)  X 1 mol/151.17g = 3.5 moles\n\n***The tablets weigh 625 MG, not G. You may want to be sure that's the question.  If it is supposed to be MG, then it would be 3.5 mmol (or 0.0035 mol)

paracetamol do not affect you when you have alcohol apart from speeding up the process....if you have had none for 2 days you will be fine...stop worrying and go and enjoy yourself

Why would you be interested in a "lethal" dose.  Check with recommendations.

ouch, lots of misinformation in these answers. \n\ndiet products are not harmful to the liver, and have not been proven to be harmful to human in any way (except those with phenylketonuria). the most common claim is that they cause cancer, which is false (see the link below). there is no way for them to "clog up" your body or urinary tract.\n\nyou are right to be concerned with taking tylenol or any product containing acetominophen (many cold remedies have it). tylenol can be fatal to anyone if they take too much, and the cause of death is liver failure. \n\nyou are definitely a special case, with multiple liver disorders AND allergies to other pain meds. you really need to call your gastroenterologist and ask them whta the maxiumum dose of tylenol you should have is. if the transplanted liver is functionally normally, you should be able to take it, although I can understand wanting to be extra careful with your gift.

About 6 weeks or so. The important thing to remember is that theres not much you can do to treat them. Take paracetamol for night time comfort and even though it hurts, you should take regular deep breaths to ensure that you do not get a collection in the base of your lungs.
