Tylenol question

[Mia.Carlson66]

So I've been plugging around 2600 and 3g of Tylenol everyday for 10 days. The Tylenol is coming from percocet BTW. How bad do you guys think this is on my liver? I don't have anymore so I'm done but I get worried.

Errr... you aren't over the limit but all that APAP gunk can't be good for the anal cavity. Haven't you heard of a CWE? This is what you should do first then plug the solution. :D

Tylenol can be quite harmful to your liver in case you keep doing it for sometime. The symptoms of liver problems are not as visible unless you make a test or a biopsy.
With time it creates fibrosis which (in initial levels) may not be a big deal, but as you age or if you get overweight you may develop some disorders specially if you drink alcohol.
So now you know! Try to avoid it as much as you can, or use it under the limit.

It depends who you ask. The recommended maximum dosage of acetaminophen ranges from 3000-4000 mg /day, so you are probably OK with what you are taking. If you have any concerns about liver damage you can get routine blood tests for that. Don't know what your med insurance situation is like but if you've got decent coverage, just ask your primary care physician for an ALT/AST order to take to LabCorp or anywhere to check liver function.

The other thing I'll mention is that liver damage from acetaminophen comes from a metabolite, not APAP itself. Take 200-400 mg Tagamet orally when you plug, this will help to block the conversion to the metabolite and decrease the liver-damaging metabolite concentration.
