Help. Took 2 Lortab Instead of One

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help. Took 2 Lortab Instead of One

Posted: 6/16/2003 8:37:46 PM EDT

I've never been on these pain meds before. They appear to make me a little absent minded. I got up and ready for bed and took my Lortab. But then I thought I remembered taking it just a minute ago...so I counted the pills. I'm one short, so either the pharmacy mess up (not likely) or I took the med forgot and took it again. Does anyone know what problems this will cause? I can always bring it back up as I just took it.

NO! NO whiskey!
I did the same thing one time after a dental appt. Just lay down and ride it out! Put on some Pink Floyd or something

What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen and hydrocodone?

It is dangerous to drink alcohol while taking this medication.

Never take more acetaminophen and hydrocodone than is prescribed for you. If your pain is not being adequately treated, talk to your doctor.

Acetaminophen and hydrocodone will also cause constipation. Drink plenty of water (six to eight full glasses a day) to lessen this side effect. Increasing the amount of fiber in your diet can also help to alleviate constipation.

Hydrocodone will cause drowsiness and fatigue. Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, antihistamines, sedatives, and tranquilizers except under the supervision of your doctor. These may also make you drowsy.

[b]What happens if I overdose?[/b]

Symptoms of an acetaminophen and hydrocodone overdose include slow breathing, seizures, dizziness, weakness, loss of consciousness, coma, confusion, tiredness, cold and clammy skin, small pupils, nausea, vomiting, and sweating.

I think these things are way over rated. I'm still sitting here just typing away almost an hour after taking twice the dosage. If one is supposed to knock you down pretty good, two definately should have made me tired but it didn't. I had a mild hot flash for about 10 minutes but other than that nothing.

Dude ...ude ...de....
Are re you ou ok k ??
You're 're lookinging at me funnnnnyyyy...
st[it]op!!!!
what? who said that?

I just got Vicodin ES from my dentist tooo! I have had to take 2 before after a dual extraction and for a massive infection. usually half will work for normal stuff. I remember my first time tho, my wife said i was talking and doing things but i dont remember it. i remember falling asleep at the laptop so long without knowing it that when i cam too it had shut off. hahaha. I lost about a week of my life during that infection. Wake up, take vicodin, eat banana, turn on tv,................. 6 hours later....... look away from tv long enuff to find more vicodin and a banana. repeat. when one would not cut it, but 2 would be over kill, i drank a couple fingers of scotch. When I had IMMEDIATE PAIN that needed fast releif, I crushed a whole vicoden and mixed it into a shot of scotch. HIT HARD AND FAST. Have fun. Play a video game!!!

I'm sure a crushed Vicodin and Scotch would be a hard fast kick.

I guess I'm lucky so far. I'm not feeling much pain, that's for sure. I do know that I won't be much use at work in this state. Rambling on is one thing, logical computer programming is totally different. I will probably take a sick day tomorrow and try to go off the Lortab pain meds in the afternoon and replace them with just Advil.

Lortab contains acetaminophen or Tylenol. Never drink alcohol in combination with acetaminophen. It will damage your liver. Taking 2 Lortab shouldn't be that big of a deal. If you're really worried, call poison control.

Wash it down with some beer. It will make you pee and get it out of your system.

Too much Acetaminaphen is bad for your liver. But just 2 Lortab isnt going to hurt you. Personally Narcotic Analgesics never did anything for me. Plain old Ibuprophen worked just as well.

When I was a teenager I took about eight Qualudes and drank half of 750ml bottle of Crown Royal and I survived. What a dumbshit I was!

Are you sure you want everyone to know you're taking Seroquel? Maybe your user name is fitting? [;D]

Ok, you've taken something called orange sunshine, you'll want to lie down in a dark room and listen to some Allman Brothers.

Well, smack your head with a hammer and see if you feel any pain; that will tell you if the Lortab is working.

Oh,yeah, one other point--Lortab stays in your system quite some time. I stopped taking it, then two days later had 1/4 of one beer; I buzzed for almost 5 hours. And it was the "lay on the floor, stop the world I want to get off" type buzz. It was a free beer, too--that was the cheapest drunk I have EVER had!
