Here is the layout (500mg per pill)
Day 1: 30 Pills - nothing happened
2 days later: 10 Pills - nothing
1 Day later: 15 Pills - still nothing
1 day after that: 30 Pills - nothing
4 days after: 30 Pills - nothing (Just Pissed the **** off)
16-24 hours after that: 32 Acetaminophen pills and 4 DayQuil
at 3:50pm it should be about a day since the last. immune? not fat, weigh 160 lbs and 5' 10" in height.
Is the dose not high enough? How could someone have no side effects aside from minor nausea that goes away fairly quickly. Please just answer, im am not equipped to deal with peoples assumptions and mild accusations. all i am in the mood for is figuring out what could possibly be going wrong as far as high dosage and to why there are little to no effect what so ever.
Update:No yellowing of eyes or skin (Jaundice). The product Acetaminophen was purchased from Wal-Mart. and bottle number one was purchased at longs. As for the DayQuil i have no clue.
Update 3:I've also researched this a lot. the all said the person should be dead. well there is my issue. i've seen it all from symptoms to general information about the drug. and still i am so confused why someone could possibly survive something like this. especially when always taken on an empty stomach then latter eating fast food and red meats witch make it hard on your liver to break down. still to be breathing and preforming normally.

The acetaminophen should have caused liver failure at the doses described.
To have minimal effects from such high doses suggests an idiosyncracy such as a genetic predisposition that prevents metabolism of acetaminophen.
In any event I wonder how the acetaminophen was excreted.
Obviously, this preparation is inappropriate to terminate life in this individual if that was the objective, some alternate course of action is required.
After all you just can't be wasting time and money taking acetaminophen to little effect.
Makes no sense.
Since they aren't dead yet, and presumably not turning yellow (liver failure) as I think that falls outside the range of "nothing happened", I would guess they have a severe intestinal issue preventing uptake or bogus pills, and they're lucky to be alive.
Have you actually witnessed your friend taking all these pills? The maximum dosage for acetaminophen is somewhere around 3000mg/day, and not on a regular basis. 30 pills in a day would be 15000mg, and would easily kill someone within a few days at best. I would recommend your friend see a doctor and a therapist, because there are obviously serious problems.

You're either joking or you're trying to kill yourself. Either way you need help.
