Getting sick from acetaminophen overdose is mostly caused by liver damage; not a good way to go.
The more of this drug is taken beyond the recommended dose, the higher your chances are of dying a horrible death that can take days or make you live out the rest of your life on a list for a liver transplant.
Up to 24 hours after taking an overdose, you may feel fine and may have even had time to forget you did this because you will go on as if nothing has happened. If you get your stomach pumped up to 2 hours after taking an overdose, you will spare yourself the torture. If not, the medicine will be absorbed by your liver. Then you will feel extremely sick to your stomach. Symptoms include:
Then these symptoms will go away for a little while. That phase can last 24-48 hours. If you are lucky, your body will heal itself. If not, you may have permanently harmed your liver or you will quickly die within the next week as the symptoms get worse.

It's generally not recommended to take acetaminophen and hydrocodone with DayQuil without consulting a healthcare professional. DayQuil often contains acetaminophen, and combining it with additional acetaminophen can lead to an overdose. Additionally, both hydrocodone and DayQuil can cause drowsiness, which may be intensified when taken together. Always check with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing medications.
That depends on the person. If they have a a high tolerance from years of use it can be over 10. I know a person who can take (16) 5mg tablets of Oxycodone which is stronger but without the Tylenol and have no overdose affect. On Hydrocodone the second number AKA the 500mg is the amount of Acetaminophen or Tylenol in the combination. A person with great tolerance would probably get sick off the Tylenol before a Hydrocodone overdose. Now that is a person who takes a lot of Oxycodone. I guess if you are looking for a basic rule, figure the max amount a person can take before feeling sick and add three pills and that should be an overdose to kill. An overdose is explained when the person gets sick from the medication and the body rejects it. Hydrocodone slows the pulse rate and hampers breathing. So an overdose that kills will stop the heart and lungs!
Tylenol contains acetaminophen. The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen must not exceed 4000 mg ('daily' means 24 hours). It is not recommended to take more than 1000 mg of acetaminophen at a time. The interval between 1000 mg doses should be about 6 hours. 500 mg doses can be taken more frequently, e.g. every four hours. Each Tylenol 500 gelcap, etc, contains 500 mg of pure acetaminophen. So, the daily maximum is 8 doses of Tylenol 500, not more than two doses at a time. The less, the better, as acetaminophen is not good for the liver.
The maximum recommended dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) for adults is typically 4,000 milligrams per day. However, some health experts recommend not exceeding 3,000 milligrams to reduce the risk of liver damage. It's important to consider any other medications containing acetaminophen and consult a healthcare professional if unsure about the appropriate dosage for your situation. Always follow the dosing instructions on the medication label or as advised by a doctor.
It's generally not advisable to take Tylenol 3 (which contains acetaminophen and codeine) shortly after taking Endocet (which contains oxycodone and acetaminophen). Both medications contain acetaminophen, and taking them close together could lead to an overdose of acetaminophen. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation and health conditions.

You can if you do not exceed the maximum dose of Tylenol taken at a time (1000mg) and during the day (4000mg). Tylenol 3 contains 300mg of acetaminophen. Tylenol Extra Strength contains 500mg of acetaminophen, Tylenol 8 Hour contains 650mg of acetaminophen. So, you have to count not to overdose.
The only problem in taking NyQuil and later hydrocodone, is that hydrocodone is almost never prescribed by it self. If it contains acetaminophen, precautions MUST be taken to avoid a acetaminophen overdose.
without rapid treatment, a very large overdose of acetaminophen can lead to liver failure and death in a few days.
