lol.. I thought he gave me ecstacy.. but it must have been roofies..

Gotta love The Hangover.

Indeed!

so true

This^ YDI for not following instructions properly, and lying on an FML to make yourself look better.

you missed one: the OP has a small body and the "recommended dose" is too large.

#28: Like, what, the body of an 8-year-old? The "adult dose" on any medicine I've ever seen starts at the age of 12, and like any good product spec that allows for a margin of error. If she's old enough to be responsible for getting herself awake and to school, and taking painkillers unsupervised, her body size is probably not a factor.

I always took pain medicine by myself? and maybe OP is a small person?? and OP could have been emty (if happens to some people) so the medicine makes pain go away but then you feel sick, or what ever and maybe OP is younger but had alot if pain and thought if he took too many the pain would go away faster or something

43 I take pain killers all by myself and so does my sister shes 9

especially when you know you have a test the next day!

The recommended dose on most painkillers, even extra strength ones, is 1-2, so no, it's not really comparable to drinking an entire bottle of cough syrup, even if she was only meant to take one. A 200mL cough syrup bottle with a recommended dose of 5mL means drinking a whole bottle is 40 times the recommend dose, compared to twice at most the recommended dose...

Cant you let someone just have a thought?

Pointing out why the comparison doesn't work isn't me not letting them have a thought... Unless you can actually disagree with what I pointed out why don't you shut up already?

Good thing you're an asshole. Maybe you should read #115.

The internet needs restraining orders. Quit getting cut over my non-offensive comments to other people and get a life.

I thought you replied after me to someone's comment, not the other way around. I must have been mistaken. They should definitely revoke my FML privileges for that..

I was talking to number #6. What exactly was difficult to comprehend about that? Who said anything about revoking your FML privileges? Just quit getting cut every time I post anything to anyone and visiting my profile all the time. It's weird and the sort of thing that probably would get a restraining order IRL.

I don't stalk you TwinkleStar.

they reccomend 1-2 doses on over the counter drugs. This sounds more like vicodin to me.

Vicodin is still a dosage of 1-2 tablets usually depending on how many mg of hydrocodone and paracetamol each tablet has, but even two of the stronger ones as a once off wouldn't cause any major problems. I don't think drowsiness is even a common side effect. Pretty much all pain killers are hard to overdose on accidentally as a one off.

Oxycontin 80's and fetanyl would be pretty easy to OD on if the person has no opiate tolerance...

But they presumably wouldn't know that until after they took them, so not really a YDI imo.

twinklestar just shut the fuck up

Who said they were prescription painkillers? There are extra strength painkillers that are over the counter. And even if they were, who said she didn't have a prescription.

The "extra strength" ones over the counter aren't actually "strong painkillers" though, they're just a higher dose of the same chemical. But if they were prescription, that means a doctor prescribed them to her. She'd have to at the very least be aware of the proper dosage and any potential side effects.

Never tried Lortabs, but yeah, junkie friends much ? Great examples they seem to be.
