Accidentally took 2000mg acetominophin in 40 minutes?

You'll be fine. The pain is from anxiety. Your liver will metabolize it. Drinking extra water will not help. Make sure you eat enough food, though. Getting hungry gives your liver extra work to do (glycolysis), which you don't want to do for 24 hours. And no alchol for 48 hours. Zero alcohol.

If you are 90 pounds, you are 40 kilograms. A toxic dose is 200 mg/kg of body weight, which works out to 8,000 mg. No more tylenol for 8 hours.

You'll be fine. The pain and nausea are from anxiety. Please ignore the fools who tell you to call 911. 3000 mg a day is still considered a therapeutic dose.

U having to vomit is more than likely related to the amount u took. If u can, its best to allow urself to vomit to get rid of some of the medication u took. U won't die, but be careful of the amount of tylenol u consume. U should not take more than abt 4000/ day. And also keep in mind that tylenol causes other medical issues such as stomach ulcers etc...just make urself puke if u can, ull feel better when u do

You should take no more than 8 tabs in 24 hours. Or no more than 2 to 4 tabs every 4 to 6 hours.

You are obviously worried about this and any answer received here will not really put your mind at ease or convince you that you are going to die from an overdose.

Perhaps you should call poison control (the experts) and they can give you the real scoop.

1-800-222-1222

Call 1 800-222-1222 it's national poison control hotline, ask them what you should do. I know a overdose of some pain meds will mess up your liver.

I do not know about your history of acetaminophen drug use.

People have died from taking regular doses of acetaminophen for more than the 10 day limit.

A fraction of the dose is converted into the liver toxic NAPQI, and dosing guidelines are more about sales than safety.
