Any amount over 4000mg. Would be considered an overdose. Any overdose could prove to be fatal.
Update:Recently (Noted in Sept, 2011), the US FDA changed the max limit on APAP (Tylenol, Paracetamol, &c.) to 3000mg per day, down from 4000mg. Note that this represents an arbitrary limit, but nevertheless reflects dangers in this dosage of this drug. In the case of APAP, acute, life-threatening overdoses are very very are. However, overdose smay damage the liver, and repeated overdoses make this damage all the more likely. Death from chronic overdoses on APAP, e.g. liver failure, are long, excruciating ordeals.
WikiAnswers does not provide information about illegal acts, including suicide.
In response to the alternate question, "What to do in the case of an overdose, of paracetamol, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency resource, go the the Emergency Room at the nearest hospital, and call your local Poison Control Hot Line./
While the question seems benign, it worries this writer because it seems that some people will misuse paracetamol, knowing how far not to go, while other people will attempt suicide with it, knowing how much is too much.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist, and take exactly how much dose is prescribed for you. If its not working, go back to the Doctor and tell him or her. There are always other options.
If there is a good argument to provide the requested information, please write me, or one of my co-supervisors, mentors, co-vandal patrol people, and we will evaluate your request.
Locking the answer and signing it, two things we don't like to do, because it seems that there is a lot at stake on this question. Thank you.
