I would talk to a doctor anyway but here you go:

Your liver is a large, multilobed organ located on the right-hand side of your abdomen.

Several common functions of your liver include:

* Filtering toxins, bacteria and waste products from your blood
* Producing many substances, including proteins that help your blood clot (clotting factors) and bile, which breaks down fats
* Storing vitamins, iron, sugar and cholesterol

When your liver fails, its ability to perform any of these functions is hampered.

Causes of acute liver failure include:

*

Drugs. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) overdose is the most common cause of acute liver failure. Many other medications, including herbal supplements such as kava extract, can cause drug reactions that lead to liver failure; however, these types of reactions are rare.

Using recreational drugs like Ecstasy and cocaine also can lead to acute liver failure.
*

Viruses. Hepatitis A and hepatitis B are the viruses that most often cause acute liver failure in the U.S., while hepatitis E is a more common cause in countries where the virus is endemic, especially among pregnant women.

Other viruses associated with acute liver failure include cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr virus, hemorrhagic fever viruses and paramyxovirus.
* Toxins. Toxins from bacteria and industrial chemicals, such as carbon tetrachloride, can damage your liver. The wild mushroom Amanita phalloides, which is sometimes mistaken for other edible species, is poisonous and causes acute liver failure.
* Autoimmune disease. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease in which your immune system attacks liver cells, causing inflammation and injury.
* Vascular disease. Conditions that cause blockages to form in the veins of the liver can cause acute liver failure. These include portal vein thrombosis, Budd-Chiari syndrome and veno-occlusive disease.
* Metabolic disease. Rare metabolic diseases, such as Wilson’s disease, acute fatty liver of pregnancy and Reye’s syndrome infrequently cause acute liver failure.
* Cancer. Malignant tumors that grow in your liver or cancer that spreads to your liver from another organ can cause your liver to fail.

In about 15 percent of cases of acute liver failure, there’s no identifiable cause.

I know it kills in extreme cases. But don’t mind me, I’m bitter about it at the moment.

… erm… Tears = idiot… if that helps xD

What, did you take some?

Well, you’ve learned a lesson…

over 9000% that you have.

I dunno.

Chin up. The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that, tomorrow…

It really depends on how much you took at one time and how many times you did it.

I had to look it up as that is a different name than what I am used to seeing. Most prescription drug overdoses, such as Lortabs or Percocets, the drug itself is not what causes death but the acetaminophen/paracetamol is what kills you. It is a very serious drug to fool with, especially if you already have any kind of liver disease.

Ok, stop that. Is there a reason you are taking so much at one time?

Well quit it before you do some serious damage to you body. There are other things you can do to get the adrenaline rush that you have some control over. Once you swallow that pill you no longer have any control.

If you are having problems that you need to get away from, or that are making you feel like you need to numb you really should ask for some help. I know it’s hard to ask anyone for help, trust me, I know. But sometimes we have to. Sometimes we can’t do it on our own. I’ve worked in the medical field since 1991 and I have seen what taking to much tylenol and ibuprofen can do to you. You may not see or feel the damage for years to come but it is doing damage every time you take it wrong like you are.

when I was like 18 I damaged some tissue in my neck and I started heavily using tylenol, aleve, what not. then around 22 I started drinking heavily and continued the pain pills. this is the worst combo they say. anyway I went to dr and they said I had “elevated’ liver enzymes and asked me about my drug use. I told them and they said cut it out and come back in two weeks. when I did my enzyme levels were normal. our bodies are quite resiliant, but im no dr. and everyone is different so be careful.

are you trying to flirt with suicide or something?

not done drugs?

Abusing prescriptions is the same thing…

dont take this wrong, this is not an insult, but you just sound like someone who is at major risk for becoming drug abuser, ya know and trust me when I tell you it is not a good idea, i know people are gonna do what they want but drugs destroy your soul, they take it and give it to the devil.. i want to cry when I think of all the money ive spent on dope, all the wasted f’n years….im a burner i burn myself with cigs…when u say u getting into old habits are u talking about self harm or what?

ur right commander, but I think shes only done tylenol…u aint gettin high off tylenol lol…but it is a first step in the wromg direction, no doubt about it

I added u as a friend. just be safe. no more tylenol LOL. later.

peace.

it will only hit u in time. maybe a few years and by then u will regret taking them cuz u may be happy and sorted ur life out. i have overdosed on panadol but it doesnt do much damage unless u take like 2 or more packets..

if u really want legal drugs that really kik it! then take my advice.. i do it XD. go to counsellin, ask the counsellor u have really bad Anxiety attacks and they will refer u onto a phsycologist, the phsycologist will put u on medication (diazepam or something). GUESS WAT?! the ingredients is VALIUM. XD an take about 6-10, They give ya a kik an a half.

or go to doctors and say u cant sleep and ask for sleeping pills. Which ever, they have almost the same effects but i prefer (diazepam) - valium. hope that gets u going XD
