Acute liver failure is the ultimate symptom overdose from pain relievers. The symptoms include rapid onset of nausea, vomiting, sweating, jaundice, and abdominal swelling. Acetaminophen overdose is the most common cause of acute liver failure -- many people don't know the correct dosage and may not know that the drug is part of many over-the-counter medications. Symptoms of overdose are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, ringing in the ears, shortness of breath, and irregular eye movements. In very high doses, death can occur due to kidney failure, cardiac issues, or respiratory depression.
