Kidneys also.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can add SUGAR, PROCESSED FOODS, and over indulgence in CARBOHYDRATES. The DAMAGE they do is immeasurable.

So what? We got two livers for a reason, a main one and a backup.

You are correct. If dosed correctly it is a very safe drug. It is metabolized in the liver quite safely via combining with glucoronide and then excreted in the bile. However, in high doses all the glucoronide is used up and it then undergoes a different metabolic pathway which forms a free radical. The free radical is extremely reactive with the liver cells and kills them. Take a bunch of tylenol and it will kill you unless you get very prompt treatment, hours not days for the treatment.
