The problem with that is, there are no such studies on this. So maybe, you should think twice before attempting such a risky experiment.
Maybe the fatal dose is 72mg; maybe it's 3mg. I'm a doctor and I have not the faintest idea. Why don't you call a medical examiner and ask. You'll break the ice with him; so there won't be any sexual tension before he gets to look at you through a Y incision.

How much is a lethal dose of caffeine to daphnia?

How much Absolut Vodka would be considered a lethal dose for a fully grown man?
The lethal dose for a human being varies upon the persons size, weight and tolerance. These are key factors in determining what would be a lethal dose as the larger a person is the more tolerant to the alcohol they will be. Anywhere from a litre upwards of vodka will be a lethal dose dependent on their size
What is the lethal dose of elivil?
Determining the lethal dose of any medication is pretty much impossible because of the differences between individuals and other chemicals such as alcohol that may be in the individual's system. The lethal dose is often quoted as the "minimum lethal dose" (MLD) or the least amount that will kill the most susceptible people. But, this value is determined with animal testing and extrapolated to humans. The MLD of Elavil is listed as 3 grams (120 25mg tablets). A typical lethal dose is much higher.
Can you die of too much caffeine?
I read somewhere that 70 cups was a lethal dose
What does 'LD50' stand for?
LD50 stands for Lethal Dose 50, a measurement of how much exposure it takes to a certain chemical to kill 50% of a target population. This is usually a calculated value based on lab exposure of the chemical to a population of animals.
What is the unit of measurement used to determine how much of a substance you need to consume for it to be lethal?
LD50 is Representative as lethal dose 50% when your talking about how much it will take the measurement in in g, some times in mL but mostly g (grams).
What is the lethal dose of Ambien and naproxen and toradol?
Again, it will depend on your personal tolerance. I'm on all three right now (2x, 2a, and about 12 beers @ 180lbs with years of experience). I've done more but it would be foolish to recommend a "lethal dose", which can be much less for a beginner and much more for an experienced friend.
Euthanasia saves families how much in medical costs?
A lethal dose is around $35, which saves a lot of money for insurance companies.
How much less toxic is marijuana then other drugs?
Toxicity of any drug is described by its Therapeutic Index--the ratio of lethal dose to effective dose. For instance, if the effective dose--the dose that gets you high--of Soma (the fake one in Brave New World, not carisoprodol) is 10 ng/ul and the lethal dose is 100 ng/ul, Soma's therapeutic index is 10. Marijuana has no therapeutic index as it has no lethal dose. The only other drug I know of that can come close to saying that is LSD, whose lethal dose is 12,000 micrograms--this for a drug that's normally taken 100 micrograms at a time. (Given that, erowid reports that ONE person has died of an LSD overdose; the guy thought it was speed and injected 320mg--not micrograms but milligrams--of acid.)
Is 54 mg of Concerta to much to start out with?
Nope, that's what I was prescribed originally... With a 10mg Ritalin "booster." Yes 54mg of Concerta is too much for the initial dose. Over 6 years the recommended initial dose is 18mg once daily in the morning, increased if necessary in weekly steps of 18mg according to response to a maximum dose of 54mg daily. So you have been prescribed the maximum daily dose starting off. Starting on a lower strength would be more advisable in my opinion. Pharmacist in training Reference from BNF 56 Sept 2008
What is the recommended dosage of Concerta for a 92-pound person?
The recommanded dosage is always the lowest working dose. If 18mg allows good results, then it is the correct dosage. We start at a low dose, and we increased if we don't get any result after a week trial. Blood volume, brain chemistry and metabolism are the basic determining factors for what dose is ineffective, effective or "high". Concerta is available in 18mg, 27mg, 36mg, 54mg and 72mg extended release capsules. 18mg is the common starting dose for children and 18mg to 36mg for adults depending on discretion of the doctor. The maximum dosage of Concerta should not be greater than 0.9 mg per pound of body weight. For people switching to Concerta from Ritalin, the dosage requires careful consideration because 18mg of Concerta is much different then 18mg of Ritalin due to Concerta's precision time release mechanism. The following chart outlines the dosage equivalents. 18 mg Concerta = 4 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 27 mg Concerta = 6 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 36 mg Concerta = 8 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 54 mg Concerta = 12 mg Ritalin 3 times per day
