?	I can take Aspirin all the time and it does nothing for me. But i did take Tylenol up to 4 pills was my limit and after around 4 hour i took BC powder and waited 6 hours but still had pain then i took another BC powder then i started to feel better then the pain was gone. BUT after taken all this too close together i started to feel like i was on a roller-coaster and lightheaded, an swimming, along with getting blurry vision so i just decided to sleep it off or so then i woke up after 2 days passed. So I'll say i will never take that much so close together ever again. MAN WHAT A HELL OF A TRIP THAT WAS. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BatraSaab	If 3 pain killer did not cured you 4th / 5th will also not do the trick. Now the reason for the pain, as headache occurred due to Cold is cured with Tablet for Cold or the fever due to throat is cured with the medicines of Throat Etc. Etc. Check the root cause of pain. The excessive Dosage of Aspirin can cause heart failure while Excessive dosage of Brufen can damage the kidneys, so the results will be different but the negative ones only.

wrap_99	Depends on type of painkiller. Tylenol can be dangerous in large doses. It is probably not a good idea to exceed dosages on the label. Also, you may not even get a better result with your pain from exceeding dosage. Why are you asking medical advice on the web? You shd see a doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mustafa haslem	That depends entirely on what you took. If it was over the counter (Tylenol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen) you could cause liver failure or internal bleeding. If it was a prescription (hydorcodone, percoset, codine) you could overdose and die. Always follow the recommended dosage on the bottle. If you don't know what that is don't take it.

mopargirl	It depends on what the painkillers are? Vicodin? Percocet? Oxy? Or basic OTC types like Ibuprofen? Tylenol? I suspect you should not take a 4th unless you consult your physician. Sorry your in so much pain!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
