I just took 18 of the day tablets of these Codral Cold+Flu tablets I had left.
Apparently, they contain:
Paracetamol 500mg
Codeine Phosphate 9.5mg
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5mg

And now I'm all woozy.

Bad idea?

I can't tell how long ago you posted this (though I will know once I post this), but you're online, so I hope you aren't feeling too bad.

blufindr :(

I know you don't post many personal things on here but if you ever want to talk, PM me.

Paracetamol is just ibuprofen.  9000 mg is way too much.  3500ish mg is really the max dose you want to take.  I would watch for signs of potential ibuprofen OD....that would include:  
Eyes, ears, nose, throat, and mouth  

Paracetamol is Acetaminophen or Tylenol which is MUCH more dangerous than ibuprofen, and at that dose it can easily cause liver failure. You really need to go get your stomach pumped. I believe 10,000mg is the LD50 for your average adult male and you are at 9,000.

Get your ass to the hospital. And if you think it will just wear off, liver failure takes a few days to register usually within 72 hours. GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL NOW.

They put shit like Paracetamol in those pills so kids like you won't try to get high on Codeine, without dying or something.

You know I love you blufindr, so don't think that by me saying this I don't care. I do.

I took 250+ pills when I had a suicidal outbreak over a year ago. and I'm still here. I did throw up a bit, but I'm sure I didn't throw all of them back up. I'm sure you'll be fine. I would suggest a doctor if you are truly worried.

Eyes, ears, nose, throat, and mouth

Ringing in the ears
Blurred vision
Gastrointestinal

Diarrhea
Heartburn
Nausea
Stomach pain (possible bleeding in stomach and intestines)
Vomiting
Kidneys

Little to no urine production
Lungs

Breathing - difficult
Breathing - slow
Wheezing
Nervous system

Headache
Agitation
Incoherence (not understandable)
Confusion
Coma
Drowsiness
Seizures
Dizziness
Unsteadiness

So on and so forth....

The other two are harmless as far as I can tell...unless there is way more codeine in that than most generic products.

Hi Carie Posted at 9:55 pm on Nov. 11, 2008
According to the box, you should contact poison control immediately.

you are at risk of serious liver damage, among other things.

please contact someone/go to the hospital if this is true.

Thats not a very good idea, normally i would tell the OP to go down a bottle of Vodka as thats the only substance known to man to combat pills. But i happen to like blufindr so i won't. Oh and 1+
