Dear Patient,

It is little difficult to answer your query with the amount of information you have provided, like I don't know your age and for what reason you had to take so much tylenol etc., but I will try my bst to address your query here.

You have taken too much tylenol for sure within 24 hrs. We do not suggest more than 3250 mg dose in 24 hrs, that is 10 tablets of tylenol 325 mg each. Your dose is 3575 mg in 24 hrs.

It is good that you are not feeling bad right now, but you should watch out if you develop abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite, you should contact nearest doctor and get treatment for overdosage.

In future, try to avoid taking too much painkillers as you may be at risk of liver problems, jaundice and loss of brain functions.

Moreover, we serve all patients here in the same way and do not have any bias with anyone regarding money. So do not feel hesitation to ask questions.

I hope you stay well and do not develop any health problems. Take care. Thank you for choosing us to help you.
