Good advice from the Angry 65 Year Old. Surprised it wasn't mentioned earlier?
Kevin, stop taking 8 hydrocodone with APAP (acetaminophen) as it will kill your liver. My Primary doc had me on 8 Vicodin a day. That's 2 doses of acetaminophen in every pill. The pharmacist came out and sat me down and told me your doctor is going to destroy your liver if you take this dose. I had him immediately call my PCP (14 yrs w/ him) and change the dosage, actually the pill to Lortab and only 5 a day. Much less hard on the liver. But 8 is too much, unless you want to die slowly from a failing liver.
Having those conditions under control with the medications is not what was being referred to, what was intended was the possibility of respiratory arrest that can occur from taking that high of an amount of Xanax and the narcotic each day. Both of the other medications can cause depression of the central nervous system.
So, while you may be worried about long term liver damage, CNS depression should also be a concern.
And as to the liver damage, there is no time frame that can be given, because much of it depends on your own body and how it adapts to having such chemicals added to it.

Learn more Vicodin details here.
Additionally, the heart medications can also cause CNS depression and have a detrimental effect on your liver.
Are there any other comments or questions?
heart meds is for pots sydrome and tachycardia. its under control with meds
Respiratory arrest should be your worry right now. E-mail everyone before you fall out.......
