How much each of Excedrin, Tylenol, and Motrin can I take before I overdose? I'm 100 lbs.?

No, I'm not taking them at the same time.

I'm fairly immune to motrin and tylenol.

Excedrin still scares me because of the asprin. The excedrin I have doesn't have caffiene.

I spend a good amount of my time in pain, but I don't always take painkillers. I don't take them until the pain is unbearable.

I sure don't want to overdose.

Thanks.

and i'm 17 if it makes a difference.

    You should be able to take up to 800 mgs of Motrin(Ibuprofen) AND 500 mgs of Tylenol(Acetaminophen) together without any problems as long as you have no preexisting conditions(such as kidney disease) up to every 8 hours. Excedrin has both Tylenol and Aspirin in it(usually along with caffeine, differing strengths depending on the dose(Extra strength versus regular). Tylenol and Motrin work in different ways so taking the two together is usually fine as long as you don't exceed the maximum dose allowed for each. You should NOT take Tylenol and Excedrin together as they both contain Acetaminophen(active ingredient).

    Daniel is absolutely correct, but just to touch on one point that hasn't been mentioned. If you are in this chronic pain that is this severe at the age of 17 and are not being seen by a physician then you need to be. I don't know what caused your pain and it may be difficult to determine, but that is something that needs be checked up on right away and monitored frequently.

    you may take apirin rather and then shrink your self. Motrin has anti-clotting outcomes, notwithstanding it is not as sturdy as in ASA. in simple terms supply it a jiffy to kick in. (additionally bored, please do no longer attempt this) I desire I knew greater approximately NSAIDS while my professional PRESCRIBED me acetaminophen as quickly as I had my 4 understanding tooth pulled. Like he truthfully wrote it on a prescription pad and informed me to pass to the pharmacist with it. What a _______________ . of course I had to return with unusual infections many months later. thankfully I have been given to come again in on an afternoon while he grow to be on holiday. Then the factitious professional freaked out and informed me what a ___________________ the 1st guy grow to be. I desire i grow to be older then. I could have sued. That ________ grow to be ridiculously unneccessarily painful. And confident, I placed the blanks in on objective. Please use an extravigantly colourful mind's eye to fill them in. are you able to tell that's virtually 4 interior the morning right here and that i can't sleep?
