If you are worried about an overdose , no six tablets a day will not cause that. The only problem with taking this every day is the acetaminophen. It's been shown to cause liver problems with continued use. If it's possible for you to cut back by One or two tablets a day that would be very helpful for your liver.Drink 2c. of Fresh carrot juice every day to help clean out the liver And give it some extra support. this will really help with the side effects from the drug.

You're fine. The major problem with the Lorcet you're taking is the Tylenol (Acetaminophen). If you start ingesting around 10,000 milligrams a day, you're approaching the fatal level. In other words, you would have to take about 15 pills a day.If you can, check with your doctor about switching to Norco 10/325 tablets (it's the same drug, just with less acetaminophen). This way you're taking less Tylenol and causing less stress on your liver.On another note, please don't confuse an addiction for your body becoming accustomed to a medication. An addiction means you'll go to illegal means to get it; in other words, lie, cheat and steal to get the drug.Becoming accustomed to a medication is different. It is, unfortunately, something us chronic patients must deal with in order to function.

Actually...yes, that WILL kill you. The amount of acetaminophen you are taking in those will eventually build up to a toxic level and start wrecking your liver. Not to mention, like all addicts, you will slowly grow tolerant to the narcotic, and need more...you'll eventually take seven to get the same results that you currently get off of six...later, you will need 8....eventually, you'll take ten, and crush them to get the whole high faster....then one day, you won't be able to get any...and if you don't die, it'll be because you get stuck in a detox where they fill you up with clonidine, suboxone, and robaxin until you are out of danger of dying from withdrawal...then it will all happen again...and again...till the one time that you don't get into detox on time. Then, instead of going into detox, you go into de box.
