    The biggest problem with Tylenol or the generic acetimenophen is that it causes liver damage if you exceed the maximum dose by a small ammount compared to other anti-inflammatories. Almost any other similar medication can be exceeded by multiples of the max dose before having damage. Tylenol is dangerous much closer to the max safe dose. I switched back to aspirin. Take it with lots of liquid or food and there is almost no risk.

    I used to haul the raw material that is made into tynenol. The man at the warehouse said to me what was in those big bags, a spoonful is enough to kill a man in time.

    My clinic says I can handle a max of 3800 mg of tynenol a day at my weight, anything more than that becomes a lethal problem with really bad things happening prior to death. That does not mean we can eat a bucket of the stuff with the morning coffee. It does not work that way for some.

    A very long time ago growing up we used to get Bayer Asprin in the original form and about 1980 they must have reformulated or changed something because I cannot stand to take the stuff anymore.

    Tylenol is recommended before surgery, instead of nsaids. Due to nsaids blood thinning qualities. Also if already taking blood thinners,and maybe a baby aspirin already, nsaids, including aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, and my favorite toothache pain reliever Alieve. Should be avoided. Instead Tylenol is advised. I really wish I didn’t have to learn all this recently. But just passing on the info. A baby aspirin a day, is a cheap insurance policy. Only after I stopped taking them, due to stomach issues, did I get a blocked artery. Widow maker heart attack for 5 days. A stent, 2 days in hospital and now blood thinners, statin meds and bp meds. One year later, 20% heart damage has been reversed. Best news I’ve had in a while.It took a while. Really came as a surprise

    That’s true, one of my friends died from Liver failure. Hadn’t drank for years, but later found out he was taking 30 Vicadin a day. Knew he had back pain issues. Strange how the codiene didn’t kill him, the Tylenol did. No idea he was strung out. Another friend just got diagnosed with scirross, never drank. Just never know I guess. Seems the fifties is a challenging time. I hear if you make it to 60, good to go!!! Not sure how to interpret good to go. Just leave it at that. Lol

    30?

    5mg norco/325 ancentimon = 150 MME daily (160 is average for dying cancer patients and 80 MME is surgery type pain. Arkansas legal limit for doctors prescribing is 50 MME daily. And 30 times 325 equals 9750 mg daily or two burned out human livers.

    That #### is going to kill him. Needs to be taken to a hospital and given IV fluid, Benzeonorphrene which is like a thousand dollars a pill for 10 days. Then sent to secure drug rehab for 90 days minimum to save his life.

    A long time ago on Demerol after dental surgery doc had me on 30 mg 6 times a day which works out to 180 MME to 240 MME give or take depending on the Multiplying factor within the drug charts. For two weeks. Lets just say I was unconscious through that bone pain the whole time.

    Your friend's live is in danger. It will take him offline, then try to stop his breathing if the intestines do not die off first and starve him out into septis and organ failure first.

    IF the norco is around 10/325 a dose times 30... thats approaching LD100 values, he wants to kill himself seeking that oblivion.

    The worst problem with addicts is the withdrawals. Blood pressure goes to 250 over 150 and stays there, temps go wild swings. Burn then freeze and back to burning. And his heart rate will be in the area of about 150 to 180 and combined with the sweating and horrible BO associated with that hes truly sick physically and a outright medical emergency with life in danger.

    and the puking starts. First it's empty the stomach. Then the massive dry heaves begin. You think he was giving birth. and its actually trying to kill him by voluming out his heart contracting all those muscles squeezing him real bad. As well as dehydrating him out to try and kill him due to no fluids in about a couple of days.

    IF that does not do it, the body shifts into final DT's approaching seizures. Those are like the last step before death.

    So many ways to die over a stupid pill. Ask yourself what is life.

    Does he care? No. As long there is no withdrawal. And thats why the built up tolerance to get that "Reward center" pleasure better than sex will kill him.

    Yes & no, you're right, but once that fever hits 104 or higher you better take action quick.

    I've always found the best thing for fever & headache is Aspirin. Thankfully, I rarely need to take it. I don't touch Tylenol at all, ever...

    Inquiring minds want to know why there are 21 million fewer cell phone users in China now.
