Taking too much of a potent narcotic painkiller such as Hydrocodone APAP (brand Vicodin) can certainly be fatal. If somebody does this it is imperative to call 911 immediately.

Yes, Rick is correct. Even if they don't die, they can cause themselves serious organ damage and health issues.

About the 25 pills at a time. If you have taken them have someone drive you to to the emergency dept immediately! It's not the narcotic that'll kill you, it's the acetaminophen. It's possible to have liver failure at that high of a dose.The max dose of acetaminophen for an adult is 4000 milligrams. 25 pills puts you way over that amount...you have already overdosed go to the hospital now.

Liver damage can occur at 4000 mg of acetaminophen, but it's not gonna cause death. The liver is very tough, you would need to take an acute dose of about 10,000-15,000 mg of acetaminophen to even worry about death. I've taken 30 in one night and was fine, so learn what you're talking about and then give advice.

Please seek help you were not unlucky but definitely extremely lucky to be alive. I will pray for you, if u just pray to God and ask him into your heart, he will make your life worth living and hold his promise of a perfect life in heaven for eternity. God bless you and give u hope for your beautiful future. Please just try it, it will not hurt you to try. I couldn't believe how he changed my life around out of drugs, bad relationships and gave me hope when I didn't have any. I had a horrible childhood and now I thank him everyday for it.

HollyG, If they're low enough to attempt suicide, your comments aren't going to help. All they need is comfort and someone to talk to. But I'm sure you don't care, because you obviously have no soul. You're selfish.

Suicide is THE MOST selfish act anyone can committ. Before you start accusing someone of being selfish- think about what suicide does to those that actually LOVE the person that is thinking or does committ suicide. Asking if taking 25 hydrocodone will kill you is a ridiculous question.

Even if God exists, he spits death on the human race every day. No mercy. No eternal life.

Taking 25 APAP 5-500 at once will not kill you. However, the severe liver damage (and potentially failure) from ingesting 12500mg of acetaminophen will like make you wish it had.

If you are a productive and healthy member of society intent on killing yourself, I would recommend seeking psychiatric care. If you are seriously disabled, or terminal, I would seek an assisted suicide professional. They will ensure your self termination is as painless and complete as possible.

Other than attempting suicide, which MANY honest to God pain sufferers feel like doing, there are no other reasons to take that many at once. Ever.

Doubtful but it could make your friend very sick. The acetaminophen in the hydrocodone is what will be the problem at this point. It can cause lover problems and even liver failure if enough is taken. If you haven't already, please help your friend seek medical help.

HollyG. Suicide is not always selfish. Was Robin Williams Selfish? He had so many gifts that he shared with so many people. I don't see him as selfish. I think pain severity, physical or psychological, is inversely related to sympathy or empathy for others; Moreover, people tend to rationalize their actions. They may convince themselves that their actually doing right by their loved ones by sparing them from the disruptive impact and emotional turmoil associated with being a caretaker. There's no sparing them from the grieving process they must go through either way. The sooner they do it the sooner they can get on with life.

Besides those who are actually loved by somebody Holly, consider those who may be old, alone, fatally ill, in pain, impoverished, and incapable of sustaining themselves any longer. She may suffer multiple fatal illnesses: AIDS, HEP-C Emphysema, Peripheral Neuropathy all at once. There is a quality of life issue here. Even if she has one person, say a sister, or a brother, or maybe she has both but all they do is argue with each other about who's gonna take responsibility and who's in the better position to help, so neither one dose anything. These half hearted siblings pose the occasional obligatory query concerning her plight, but concern ends if it requires making a sacrifice such as offering a cot when there is a real risk of homeless. In fact, after expressing fear of being sick and homelessness and confiding to her brother (who has a 100K job and a $1M Long Island home) that suicide may be the only other solution (if no housing solution presents itself) even providing details about how she plans to do it, her brother endorsed the plan calling it the product of clear rational thinking (as opposed to depression or other mental illness). So I ask you HollyG, do you really think she is being selfish?

Is it better to opt for a slow painful natural death complicated by extreme poverty and most likely homelessness to delay these siblings grief? (Note: when I say extreme poverty SSI = $710/month for everything. That's it, no food stamps in Fl. for single adult males, 7 year waiting list for housing assistance and possibly indefinite for non-Latin adult males w/ no children). Some people, in such tenuous positions are probably just better off dead. Given these circumstances, is asking if 25 hydrocodone will kill you really all that ridiculous. Given the all the botched executions of late, I think these are very sensible questions. After all, a failed suicide attempt is the worst of all possible outcomes. Ending up with failed organs, in a coma, and worse off then you started is a fate worse then death.

Was it painful when you took that many pills? I don't want to live anymore either. The emotional pain I suffer is greater than the physical pain from two collapsed hips and I can tell you that pain is very high to live with everyday.

Depression n suicide isn't an act of attention seeking in all cases. That's usually in young teens. When a grown up suffers with mental issues it's usually pretty serious. Surround yourself around positive ppl. And find at least one person u can open up to with every thought u have. And of course, speak by faith to God n believe He is hearing u. Even when u can't c him He's there. I think the only person weak on this stream is the ass talking about just do it already comments. You need help the most Cuz ur here trying to fix someone that's hurt by saying die?

I hope you never experience severe depression. I have been struggling with it my whole life. Nobody wants to be depressed or suicidal they are in terrible pain and can't think of another way out. Probably have no support network and could use some f##ing empathy. Some of you people are disgusting and heartless.
