How Many Hydrocodone 5 325 Does It Take For An Overdose

My 50 yr old son took 4 tabs of hydrocodone bitartrate w/ apap (5mg/325mg) ## In my honest opinion, any type of drug related overdose can be pretty serious, especially because many of them tend to be life-threatening as well! Based on my research, symptoms associated with Hydrocodone overdose may include the following: -narrowed or widened pupils -slow, shallow, or stopped breathing -slowed or stopped heartbeat -cold, clammy, or blue skin -excessive sleepiness -loss of consciousness -seizures -death I also need to point out that if someone takes more than the recommended dose of acetaminophen, it is imperative that they get medical help immediately, even if the person does not have any symptoms. Symptoms of an acetaminophen overdose may include: -nausea -vomiting -loss of appetite -swea...

I took 4 & 1/2 Hydrocodone 10/325s about 12 hours ago. Can I take 5 tramadol now ## Hello, Fly! How are you? You are taking far too many of these tablets, at once. Especially the Hydrocodone with the Acetaminophen, no single dosing of that should exceed 1,000mgs. How many have you been instructed to take, per dose, by your doctor? Both of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## Keep in mind that it is very rare for someone to overdose on Tramadol alone, but Tramadol in combination with other drugs can be very dangerous and lead to death. ## Yes, what Dan said is correct, but that's in respect to any mediation, not just Tramadol. Most overdoses, especially fatal ones,...

how many tylenol 4 are equal to a 10MG 325 hydrocodone? ## You'd need about 66.67mgs of Codeine to be equivalent to each 10mgs of Hydrocodone, so that would be about a tablet and a half, give or take. However, due to the Acetaminophen that is also in Tylenol 4, you should not take more, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. Taking too much of it in any 24 hour period may cause overdose toxicity, which can be fatal. The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic analgesics, so they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes, why is Tylenol 4 a schedule 3 & Hydrocodone 10/200 a schedule 2? Please explain the logic as I'...

If I'm taking Norco 10/325 mg how many pills can be taken in a 24 hour period? ## everywhat the doseage, the Dr. recommends, if you need a increase speak with him about it ## To add some specifics… It is actually the Acetaminophen in these that causes most of the problems related to overdose toxicity, rather than the narcotic Hydrocodone. It isn't safe to exceed 4,000mgs a day, taking more than that may be fatal and, even if you don't suffer fatal effects, you could cause severe liver damage, or go into liver failure. It is often thought to be extremely safe, since it's available over the counter in most countries, but Acetaminophen can actually be a very dangerous substance if used improperly. You can learn more Vicodin details here. Are there any comm...

If I have taken 7 hydrocodone a day for the past week and my prescription is for 10/325 every 4 hrs.. will I b ok? ## My prescriptions is to take every 12 hours an I have 60 hydrocodone pills. How many should I have left after 28 days ## If you took 2 a day (every 12 hours) multiply that by 28 days and you would have taken 56 pills. That would leave you with 4. Are the pills extended release? ## Tom, if you were experiencing an overdose, you'd have noticed by now, and been forced to seek medical attention. However, you should make sure to inform your doctor of the error, so they can watch you for any signs of possible ill health effects. You will likely also run out sooner than you should. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side...

i need to know what is watson white oblong scored pill # 859 used for ? ## I think the marking on this tablet may have been WATSON 349 and it contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin, which is a narcotic pain reliever. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation and dizziness. Learn more Vicodin details here. Another note that needs to be added here is that as of 2013, the FDA has made a request that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription products to no more than 325mgs per dose. There are many concerns about the dangers of liver damage and failure that can be associated with long-term use of high amounts, as well as the toxicity of overdose. Some manufacturers have ...

Just got these hydro/apap 5/325, how many can I take at a time and still be safe? 1 doesn't do it for me. I have a high tolerance for Vicodin/norco related drugs, but this is the first time taking these so I'm unsure. ## Nope. They are weaker than a percocet 5...as Vicodin are HYDROcodone and a percocet is OXYcodone. They will NOT get you high if you have ANY type of tolerance....may as well take Bayer. ## yes you can get high off of these and if you take too many you wont know it! Thats how alot of people are dying from overdose's and they dont know it! I was on Oxycodones 15mgs for 4years and when I moved to Washington state.....Yes they put me on MMJ! Which really sucks, because the pain is still there, but lets me forget about it! Just be careful with your narcotics........
