ORIGINAL: FeralFoxy I admit I hope Angelika is being very careful with her Tylenol usage. It is not nearly as safe and gentle as people think it is. It's very easy to od on Tylenol, and cause permanent damage. I admit I have a collar around my neck again, and it feels damn good. It's amaing the difference little symbols like that can make. I admit I am wondering where a certain Troll disappeared to, but have been afraid to ask. I admit all the craft talk is making me want to get crafty, myself. I am doing exactly what the ER docs said I could do: 1,000 mg every eight hours (which is 3,000 mg max in a day). The tylenol works less well than the ibuprofen, so when I begin to taper, that will be the first to go anyway. I always read ingredients in any OTC to make sure there is no duplication of anything. Also sometimes to see if I can find a product that has the same desired ingredients for a much cheaper price. Ex: I will buy plain tussin cough syrup (no DM) as a much less expensive substitute for buying mucinex. Thank you for your concern, I know many people just don't know. I admit that I am reading the bottles of OTC painkillers far more carefully after hearing this story: 505: Use Only as Directed Executive summary - Tylenol is still safe, as long as one does not exceed the recommended dose. (3,000 mg in a day; less if you drink alcohol.) My bottle says, "Severe liver damage may occur if you take: - more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in 24 hours - 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day while using this product - with other drugs containing acetaminophen
