Accidental Double Dose Of Hydrocodone (Top voted first)

Hi I accidentally took two hydrocodone pills in less than six hours apart. I don't even know if it was at least two hours. I had my wisdom teeth pulled out all four on monday that is the only reason I'm taking them to begin with for pain. I was leaving for my granparents and I took one before I left for the pain. and I took an anitbotic for my mouth and another hydrocodone pill when I got home from my grandparents but by the time I realized that I already took a pain killer earlier it was too late and I just want to know if I'm going to die. I don't want to die. Please answer me.

Elizabeth: 2 hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5/500mg doses will not kill you. The greatest danger is if you have a preexisting liver condition because it is a large amount of acetaminophen and a small amount of hydrocodone in the 5-500 pill. 5mgs hcd & 500 mgs of acetaminopehn

@Elizabeth,

Ken Lindsey is correct, 2 Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (5/500 mg) pills is not fatal. According to Addictionblog.com, If you’re taking a hydrocodone medication without acetaminophen, 90 mg at once is the reported lethal dose of the medication. (This will, of course, depend on the hydrocodone user – habitual abusers can have a higher tolerance for opioid medications.)

In regards to Acetaminophen, taking more than 4 grams in combination with Hydrocodone medications can be fatal.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone

I hope this helps!

I accidentally took 3 hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 at once. My husband was half asleep when he got up in the dark and thought he gave me a tummy coating pill, 1 hydro, and one anti-nausea. He realized after I took them it was 3 of the pain pills. Is this something that could harm me? I'm not sick but just very worried as I have never taken that much at one time.

Please call ER. Please be careful with that med as it's addicting.
