Almost overdosed on alcohol and wellburtin
Over a yr. ago, I once almost overdosed drinking between 4-6 beers and ingesting between 20-30 XL wellburtin tablets. To this day I don't know how I survived, I've never had taken wellburtin before that night and Im a petite person. It has pretty much ruined a couple relationships between a few people because of it and to this day I regret it. Ended up in hospital for a few days
A few months ago, under the influence of alcohol I had taken 8 tylenol extra strength PM ylenol and some vodka/orange juice. Then a few nights later, I had taken 14 extra strength PM tylenol. I happened to go to ER but didnt get stomach pumped.
Now some of my fingers are looking yellowish and I don't know if it had to anything with that. I no longer smoke and when I was a smoker, it was a few years and smoked cigerettes occassionally
I'm currently seeing a cousnelor for my issues

Hi SarahBear:
Tylenol is considered toxic if you ingest more that 4 grams in a day, according to the medical literature. That's easy to Google, so maybe you know that. So, the 14 tablets would come out to 7 grams in a one time dose. The ER may not have considered that a toxic risk for you if your liver was otherwise healthy.
If your fingers are looking yellowish, you should see a doctor. Jaundice is often the most visible in the whites of the eyes, and I'm not sure how long it would take to become visible in the nail beds.
I hope you are avoiding liver toxic stuff like that now. Of course, alcohol is in that category.
