Depends: If you're tolerant to pain medication, you can work your way up to astronomical doses. But if you're naive and you take a lot at one time you may stop breathing, especially if you have sleep apnea.

Depends on: Depends on the type of medication and whether the patient has built an addictive tolerance to these poisons. Rather than taking more pain med , find out what is causing the pain and get that rectified. There are no cures unless the cause is removed.

Pain Medicine: The use of pain medicine should be as prescribed by your doctor. For over the counter medications, these medications will depend on the directions on the medication bottle directions. The question you ask usually means that it is time for you to talk to your doctor. Good luck.
