Beware of Tylenol (acetaminophen). It's on the list of drugs that are hazardous in large doses or in frequent doses/day, because the drug is so widely disseminated (often surreptitiously) in over 100 over-the-counter preparations. It is known to damage the liver when overused.
I agree also check other pain meds for Tylenol in them. Many years ago I was taking big doses of Tylenol to supplement the minor prescription pain medicine I got from the VA. My private doctor did a blood test and said my liver was dying, we discussed it and since I do not drink or use any illegal drugs it came down to Tylenol that I took plus the Tylenol in the prescription medicine. I switched to a stronger prescription pain medicine and stopped all Tylenol, today my liver is fine. It is your health, find out what is in your medication and how they interact. 19lin
I have taken high doses of Tylenol and had blood in my urine the next day. I went into the ER but fortunately the doctor said it was not that bad and would stop. It took about a week. So make sure you can take a high doses of Tylenol especially if you have stomach problems
That is correct. 4000 mg acetaminophen is the maximum intake per day. Even going over this amount just once can cause damage or create the need for a transplant. Many of my meds contain tylenol, so my doc suggested not using extra strength tylenol, or only taking 1 at a time. Keep track of daily acetaminophen intake if you take opiods, fioricet, and multi-symptom cold/cough medicines. It adds up fast!
I totally agree - regular use can wreck your liver!

To @ujeaniack If you were responding to me ladyjane85, I have been<br>injected with many steroids in diff parts of back over some 25 odd years,<br>and every strong pain meds.. Either I do not respond, or with pain meds I<br>have had reactions where I had to be hospitalized. Have never had ketamine<br>- will ask pain management dr. about it. Thank you, opiate I tried was to<br>see if I could get relief, but one cannot take it when pain is worst<br>shopping, or getting down to dinner in my facility anyway.<br><br><br>
