Over-the-counter painkillers are not strong enough to give you that reaction just by taking two of them, even if they're "extra-strength". So YDI. There are only a few possibilities: - By "two very strong painkillers" you meant that you mixed two different types of painkillers. - You took painkillers that were prescribed rather than over-the-counter. Sub-possibilities: - - You took painkillers prescribed for someone else. - - You took more than the doctor-recommended dose. - You mixed painkillers with alcohol, or other drugs (whether prescribed or recreational) without knowing the effects/contacting your doctor. No matter how it happened, you did something pretty epically retarded.
#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
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...
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.
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.
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.
you must have taken something you could only get with prescription,the usual dose you can take for otc painkillers (in the UK) are, 2 paracetamol (acetiminophen)(2x 500mg), 2 ibuprofen (2x 400mg) (you can even take both paracetamol and ibuprofen together with no ill effect because they work differently) 2 cocodamol (2x 500mg paracetamol+8mg codine). none of these will make you ill if you take 2 of them. Unles, of course, you're allergic to them....

Taking "strong" painkillers without any prescription or control = not too smart. Taking two doses simultaneously or mixing drugs = pretty frigging dumb. Sorry about your leg and test OP, but YDI no doubt.
