Watch out for the following overdose symptoms: - nausea - vomiting - abdominal cramps - diarrhoea - dizziness - loss of balance - seizures (fitting) - drowsiness - confusion - breathing difficulties/not breathing - internal bleeding - hallucination - visual disturbances - snoring deeply - turning blue - coma. If you develop any of these symptoms visit the ER immediately. You haven't reached the poisoning dose of Tylenol and the body should be able to handle the dose administered.

that should be fine considering tylenol toxicity is reached only after consuming an even larger quantity. but mild side effects like gastritis, nausea-vomiting, abdominal cramps might occur for which you should visit the ER for evaluation .
