How many Tylenol and Advil would it take for someone to overdose?!
Question: I am doing a research paper on the selling of over the counter drugs and if it is really possible to kill yourself with so many of these drugs. I've searched on random sites and got the information that if you take TOO many you will end up throwing the pills up. Is this true? How many is too many?

actually its very hard to overdose your self right people make one of two mistakes when overdosing themselves whether on purpose (suicide, to get high) or on accident
its actually pretty simple
they either don't take enough and in the process just end up getting, high and or pass out
or they take to many and they either throw them up like you previously stated or they have serious stomach problems and they get there stomach pumped at a hospital
the idea of ODing on Tylenol or Advil is plausible
but you also have to take in how long that person has been taking Tylenol and Advil, how high there doses have been over there years of taking those over the counters because you can build up tolerances to these medicines over time and it may take more, but if it is your first time taking these meds then it would certainly be easier

I'm not sure there is a certain amount. It would depend on the person taking the medications...their weight and tolerance to the medication would be important factors.
I know that tylenol overdoses can cause some pretty serious problems later in life, mainly liver dysfunction, and can end in a long painful death. It's crazy to see people who've tried to commit suicide/overdose with it. They may not die now, but they'll certainly be reminded of it later in life.
as far as tylenol goes, over 4 grams of it a day over time causes liver failure. I dunno about a one time overdose, though.
