7 - 7.5 grams of APAP is about the lethal dose. Of course it will be different for different people. But I wouldn't go past 4 grams either - though if you do I wouldn't panic....too much.
About 10 years ago I didn't know that APAP was hard -
very hard on the liver. I kept a supply of Vics on hand in case I ever had trouble getting heroin [I was addicted to it at that time].
At one point, the price got ridiculously cheap - $220 for 12 grams. And so I let my habit go up to where I was doing almost 3 grams a day.
Well the bubble not only burst one day - it fucking exploded. I was unable to find
any heroin
anywhere! And not just me, nobody in Oakland could find it [you could tell by just looking at people in East Oakland that they were going through W/D]. It was about 4 days before I could find any and it was like $80 a gram at that point [it finally came down to, I think, it was $40 a gram].
But before I found any I used my Vic reserve. And since I had a huge habit, it took a lot of vics to keep me from being sick. So I just kept popping them and popping them. I did a total of about 65 Vics over a 2 1/2 day period.
By the end of that third day I was feeling very sick - and not dope sick either. I was puking up everything I tried to put in my stomach - including water. This reminded me of when I had hepatitis from years of drinking [I was given 5 years to live if I didn't stop drinking when I was 27].
So I looked up Vics and APAP and my heart sank when I saw that I had likely taken a lethal dose.
I called the local ER [Big county hospital in Oakland]. You can imagine how long the wait usually was there...about 8 to 10 hours. When I went to the desk I told them what I had done [I told them I had injured my neck again as explanation for my taking so many]. Instead of making me wait, they took me right in. Which, while good that I didn't have to wait, only made my anxiety that much worse. I was convinced I had killed myself.
Well they shot me up with some sorta counter acting thingy and made me drink that charcoal shit - that's some nasty shit, let me tell you!. And they did blood work on me.
The 1/2 hour I had to wait for those test results were some of the longest of my life.
Finally the Dr came back with a big smile on his face. He said: I don't know how you managed it, but you are going to be ok.
I can't begin to tell you the range of emotions that flowed through me.
Ok, well I kinda made this longer than I had planed on. Blame it on the meth: I had some tonight for the first time this year - theoretically...With some hypothetical tar to take the edge off of it.
So sorry about the epic length to say very little...But me doing this was because the band is here and we're doing the last tracks for the new Mad Mortician CD, which will be released
finally by the end of August.
