Taking 12 Percocet A Day For 3 Weeka
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I've been taking 12 Percocet a day for 3 weeks. Been taking Percocet for longer than that but I haven't been getting relief like I used to. I'm afraid I am causing damage to my liver and I'm panicking that I am overdosing on acetaminophen. How can I tell if I am causing liver damage and how would I know if I am in danger? I've been reading about many ppl overdosing on acetominophen and dying from it. Please help

Hello, Cindy! How are you doing? Has there been any change?

That is a dangerous amount to be taking, the U.S. FDA recommends no more than 3,000mgs of Acetaminophen a day, and anything over 4,000mgs could result in overdose toxicity, which may be fatal.

The only way to check would be to see your doctor, tell them how much you've been taking, and let them do blood work to check your liver function. Elevated enzymes could signify a problem, according to the NIH, which may require further checking.

Oh and I took 15 today which is 4825 grams of acetominophen. My back is very sore and I've got chills and shakes. That might be because I'm making myself panic though
