Has anyone ever been physically sick from this?

I've been reading about people taking a whole lot of pills and I'm just wondering if taking that many pills ever made anyone physically sick? That's happened to me a couple of times and it just happened the other day. I had taken a few more norcos than I usually do and then added some percocets on top of that and I was throwing up for a few hours. I really think it was from taking too much acetaminophen but that's just a guess. I sucked so bad.... during that time I was thinking that the high from the pills just was not worth the trouble but of course this only lasted for a few hours and now I feel fine so that high sounds good again.

Anyhow, I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else here...

What's probably happening is all the acetominophen is overloading yoiur liver - sending your digestive system into full revolt. Stop it, right now. Acetominophen in large doses can cause liver failure, and trust me - you can't live without a liver! The opiates can also be upsetting your stomach. I have taken oxycodone (opiate from percs) and hydrocodone (from norcos) without any problem together.

Re: Has anyone ever been physically sick from this?

How many are you taking?
This used to happen to me all the time. I was taking 40 percs a day at one point and usually 10 at a time. Just to be normal. but instead i would end up vomiting and sick until i was able to hold down more pills. sick, huh?
anyway, i called the doctor one time this happened b/c i was vomiting up green stuff (sorry, ewww) and i was scared. he said that the pills were toxic to my liver. not the oxycodone, but the tylenol in the pills.
you can die from this. please get help. we're here. i'm here for you. anytime

good luck,

michelle

Re: Has anyone ever been physically sick from this?

The other posts are correct. Tylenol is very bad for your liver,expecially If you drink any amount of alcohol. However oxycodone is also toxic and can cause a variety of serious things on its own. I too used to get ill from too much oxycontin. My advise if simple. your body is obviously telling you that it does not like what you are doing so listen to it and stop while you can.

Lizzy

Wrecking havoc with our bodies is not a casual endeavor. As I have gotten to know you through your posts, I honestly sense an abandon of sorts when you write about the drug use. I know you are still relatively young, but not a child anymore. The anorexia was and is all about having control over something in your life. And yet you choose not to exercise any rational control over drug use. It is hard for me to understand this.

It is not a game anymore, Lizzy. You stand on the edge of a cliff and just keep inching forward. It is time to stop it. Time to stop trying to control life... it isn't going to happen. We need to work with Life... in a responsible way. Stop eating the Norcos and Percocoets.. eat a balanced diet. It is a simple premise and work must be put into making the premise a habit, same as you have made pills a habit. Respect yourself, learn to cherish yoyrself and give thanks that you have been spared death thus far. I fear for you that grace isn't going to be with you much longer if you do not put a sincere effort into changing your thinking.

We practice our habits and imbed them into our thinking. With the same work as we put into imbeding bad habits, we can work to imbed good habits. No, it is not an overnight job. However, until a start is truly made, an ending cannot become reality.

Please, Lizzy, start the process of learning to value your life. Others value your life, but it is fruitless because you will not allow the love and caring in.
