Oh god, I think I have taken too many painkillers

[Saltire]

I just took 2 co-codamol 30/500mg. But after I took them I remembered that I might have taken 2 at 8.50, but I can't remember if I did or not.
I remember thinking "oh I'll take 2 co-codamol before I go for my bath. But did I? Oh god. I'm, stressing now

have you checked the packet? will you be able to tell by how many is left?

Can you count the pack? Is that the over the counter dosage or a prescribed one? TBH the recommended dosage is a long way inside the actual safety limit (I'm not a doctor but it's a well known fact) so even if you have had a double dose it wouldn't be a worry.

Have a look on the NHS direct website, it'll probably reassure you.

30/500 x 4 - you'll feel a bit squiffy for a bit but no lasting damage. Don't operate any heavy machinery for a few hours however..

I'm fine. I am not 100% sure that I did take 4 within 2 hours. I aways keep a strip of them downstairs and the box upstairs so had no idea how many were missing. I normally take them only at night because I get quite light headed with them, and during the day take a milder dose and ibuprofen.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Co-codamol is odd stuff isn't it? I find it makes me wide awake and very happy, I can see why some people get addicted to it.
