I don't know about you, but midol were like smarties to me. Did nothin for me.
Next time take aleve. Make sure you take it with a little food as it is hard on the stomach. Take those cramps right away.
As for your current issue, I'm no doctor but you should be ok. Just don't go lay down for a while so that the effects of the drugs can wear off while you're still conscious.
It won't kill you don't worry, possible liver damage is the reason the lables say not to take medicine like this. Although you can take up to 8 pills containing acedomedophine in one day without causing liver damage, you should space them out and wait for them to work before taking more (I know its nearly impossible at times I have ovarian cysts and the pain/ cramps can be unbearable at times). Go easy on your liver, don't drink a lot of alcoholic beverages because it will make your liver worse, if you're worried about liver damage. My best advice it to drink a lot of water and cranberry juice to flush your system. You may also want to see your OBGYN, maybe your bad cramps are a symptom of something more - such as cysts (they're not the end of the world just painful) in this case your doctor may prescribe you birth control pills which help with cramps.
Its not healthy for your liver but its not an emergency overdose situation either. Any damage done will not be permanent. Its not good to make this a habit however, try to watch what meds you take and always compare active ingredients. People routinely take higher doses of Tylenol than you did and they do it regularly, and although its very unhealthy its not a potentially deadly problem until you are in the realm of 4000mg per day.
You'll be fine. TRUST me. My 70 year old great Uncle would drink 12 beers and pop pills like no tomorrow. For YEARS. Just don't do it again. That medication is hard on your liver.
