Definition. 1  Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), also called acute respiratory distress syndrome, is a type of lung (pulmonary) failure that may result from any disease that causes large amounts of fluid to collect in the lungs.
I would make up reasons to go to the hospital just so the doctor could prescribe me with lortabs or hydrocodone. No one knew that I was doing this, until the day I tried to commit suicide by mildly overdosing on seven hydrocodone pills. I locked myself in the bathroom and swallowed all seven of them.
Overdose can cause fatal liver failure. Up to 10% of hospitalisations for overdose and 40% of acute hepatic failure is linked to acetaminophen overdose, which is more often accidental (e.g., children, alcoholics) than intentional (i.e., suicidal). Doses of > 150 mg/kg/24 hours will cause acute liver failure.
