SPC123 has asked me to add the following message:
I wanted to add an addendum to that thread:
I am coming off oxy and was looking for something to ease the pain. The daytime formula (whether it was Robo or not) contained no APAP. I was about to grab it when I saw a nighttime formulation. I made the mistake of assuming them both to be about the same. I also bought extra strength Tylenol for the aches and pains. I bought both at the same time from a pharmacist who said nothing. Regardless, my own fault.
This mistake cost me 9 hours in the ER with a couple of IVs getting pumped full of NAC and poked with needles all night.
APAP is no joke, nor are the labels on OTC medications. ALWAYS READ THE INGREDIENTS BEFORE CONSUMING ANYTHING. NEVER ASSUME.
I was lucky. You might end up dead.
- glad you are okay SPC123 and thank you for letting us know what happened, and warning others! Everyone, please be careful with APAP products, SPC123 gives some very good advice here
I'm pretty mad that the pharmacist didn't say anything...
