Never take tylenol "like crazy", the max dose of acetominophen is 4000g per day, but better to stick to 3000 if taking for more than a few days.

In the UK you can get cocodamol (paracetamol and codeine) over the counter for lower dosages, but pretty sure that's prescription only in the US, and more likely to lead to dependence.




> 4000g

That's a very unfortunate typo.


One I hope most people would recognize, thankfully. Taking 4 kilos of acetaminophen is something only a suicidal individual would do.


I guess you rather meant 4000 miligrams :)


Yes - it was late at night and I forgot the m :)


Careful: codeine is a very powerful (and addictive) drug. Many people have died of codeine overdose.


Is that why so many people in African countries are addicted to cough syrup?
