Jesus Christ man you're a broken record. Are we getting them "as high as possible" or are we advising them of the rational next step up in dosage? I get it, drugs are dangerous and nobody should use them, right? This is solid advice, this I cannot deny. Unfortunately we're on Bluelight and these people
are using drugs.
You're information is sound. I'm not calling you wrong, but we need to accept the fact that people are going to use drugs. They are using drugs. It is too late to convince them not to.
Shall we try to advise them how to move forward in relative safety, or shall we greet them all with a lecture?
And by the way, you're out of line for telling a fellow BL'er that he has "mental problems", not for spreading your message of abstinence.
The FDA set the safe 24-hour dose limit of acetaminophen at 4,000 mg per adult, but some doctors say that it should be capped at 3,250 per day.
So, case in point, chronic use of high-dose Acetaminophen is obviously discouraged due to the potential for liver damage, but in more acute scenarious, the above-posted amounts are within reason. Following my deviated septim surgery, I was prescribed 2,400mg of Acetaminphen per day on top of my Opioids. The real danger comes into play when people use APAP combination products chronically. I could've taken this dose for up to four weeks according to my doctor. My PCP agreed and said the same is true for most other NSAID's. If someone takes 2 grams of APAP daily for years, then there is definitely the potential for negative effects on the liver, but that's not what we're discussing here.
So, I'm sorry gmlifer, I don't want to cause you further aggravation or disappointment, but it is indeed safe to take 2,000mg or 2g of Acetaminophen at once.However, I will inform the FDA and the medical community at large of your dissenting opinion. This information kind of proves that your opinions are just that; opinions. Semi-factual, but not backed up by any legitimate source. You spreading misinformation could cause people to not take their prescribed pain medication due to an imaginary danger and thus, will impact their quality of life by raising their pain level unnecessarily.
