A friend is an intensive care physician.

He says suicide by Tylenol overdose is one of the worst ways to go.

He also said being eaten by crocodiles would be quicker and less painful.

Now you not only gotta get into that pit first, you gotta get eaten first! When you land in front of your croc and he opens up his mouth, I wanna see you right in there! Rub your head up against his taste buds! And when those teeth bite into your flesh, use the purchase to thrust yourself down his throat!

Tylenol would never be approved today by the FDA.

But the FDA does not go back and remove products they approve but are found later to be harmful.....like opioids.

Have known for many decades that acetaminophen is hepatotoxic. Thus, have taken not more than 8 Tylenol pills or their equivalents in 40+ years. Unfortunately, most folks don't realize there is APAP in many over-the-counter (OTC) preparations. Read the labels.

1200-1500 mg. NAC daily. Is a natural liver defence. It is used intravenously in emergency rooms for Acetaminophen overdose. Great supplement for many reasons.

I was going to say the same thing! Tylenol is so toxic it is the number one choice for suicides who want the job done quickly.

Neither would aspirin according to my pharmacist.

That’s why I flush my liver with whiskey after taking these supplements.

If you're on heart medications like Eliquis and you have pain, the only option is either Tylenol or opiates.

You basically have to choose your poison.

So as not to build up tolerance to any particular medicinal, I alternate among bourbon, Irish whisky, and scotch.
