53833 tn?1234996629 however, never can find anything about how/if the liver can metabolize 2 Vicodin ES a day with no problems. I understand how people take 15-30 pills a day and over-tax their liver because it just cannot metabolize that much in 24 hours; but is the liver OK if you do the recommended dosage (max I take is 1500 mg. day).
Avatar n tn i have been taking 1-2 vicodin 5/500 per day for about a year and a half....I have tremendous anxiety and this is the only thing that really helps me, and it REALLY helps me. I've tried MANY anti-anxiety drugs...lexapro, xanax, ativan, and none of them help me the way vicodin does. I do realize that vicodin isn't traditionally prescribed to relieve anxiety, but it really works wonders for me....anyway, i had bloodwork done recently and my ALT test came back at 3X above normal.
Avatar f tn you would get to that maximum effect at a dose of around 2 mg per day (you are now getting about 0.5 mg per day). At the maximum effect-- i.e. at 2 mg per day-- butrans is ABOUT as potent as 60 mg of oxycodone per day. These are rough dose estimates, as every person is a little different, and the route of administration-- transdermal-- has different 'efficiencies' in different people.

Avatar f tn It sounds like the dosage on the Tylenol is 1300mgs per every 6 hrs. which makes it 2600 per day. Yes, that is too much in my mind. To take this chronically would be risking your liver. Have a chat with your Doctor about decreasing the amount of Tylenol your getting.

620048 tn?1358018235 t take more than 8 norco 10/325 in one day, nor should you take more than 6 vicodin 5/500 in one day. Higher levels than that can and will eventually cause liver damage.

Avatar n tn however, there is a new lower maximum recently released that states 2,600 mg per day is the maximum. The maximum single dose of tylenol that can be taken safely is 1,000 mg.
