I think what's extra dangerous about Tylenol is that it doesnt feel like it's doing anything. When it works, some minor pain goes away, or maybe your fever goes down. But there's no side effects that you really feel, so I bet people get a false sense of security with it. Like, oh it isn't giving me opioid euphoria, or knocking me out. And you can just buy as much as you want, no restrictions. It must be perfectly safe.

Nothing is perfectly safe. You can kill yourself with water poisoning, and that's pumped directly into your house.

how the fuck did they find a donor so fast???

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 4 hours ago

I got a heart transplant about 18 hours after being added to the list.

My brother in Christ, the paracetamol box LITERALLY says to never go more than 4 grams (4000 mg) in a 24hs period on any mg pills presentation

And as far as I see, that's a general rule with everything. Even those caramels for sore throat or reflux pills, where you'd need to eat thousands in a day to overdose, say the same

Don't fuck with medicine dudes

Is this real? Who gets a liver donor in 4 days?

[–] Rainbowblite@lemmy.ca 10 points 15 hours ago

The liver damage is very believable but a liver transplant after 4 days is absurd.

My daughter's dog that is a climber got on a shelf and knocked a basket off that had a large bottle of Tylenol in it. She chewed the bottle up.

I got home and saw some pills and a demolished bottle on the ground. Vet tech friend said to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide.

Didn't have any of that, but I did have some minty mouthwash with peroxide and no xylitol in it. Dog willingly drank it, puked with foam, drank a bit more, puked more foam, then I dug through the mess.

No pills or any sign of the color on the pills. She's still kicking.

Sounds like American healthcare to me.

You either cope, and probably cause irreparable hard to yourself, or you go to the clinic or ER and get labeled a drug seeker.

Americans don't call it paracematol, they call it acetaminophen or just tylenol. This is from the UK.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Oh, shit! Guy OD'd on acetaminophen? Yeah, that is scary. My wife had a friend that attempted a self KO with Tylenol for some reason. What a horrible way to go. She is so lucky she didn't need a transplant.

In LATAM the 3 are well known names for the same active medicines

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

fun fact, when you mix sinus medicines your blood can test positive for methamphetamine.

I know this because I am now on a list of meth addicts at every networked hospital after an er visit while treating a sinus infection.

they took four blood tests and "confirmed" I was high on meth and refused to treat why I was there in the first place because to them, I was high as shit. even though I was literally directing people around blood on the floor and calling for housekeeping to come clean up the blood on the floor because the nurse refused to do her fucking job.

I asked to be removed from the list as well as have the false test results removed from my history and was told that's impossible.

doesn't technology make things so much better? Now the best pain meds I'll ever get at a hospital will be extra strength Tylenol. you know, that shit I have at home they charge me $400 a pill for.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

Pseudoephedrine is the main ingredient in meth, that's why they changed all the OTC sinus stuff to phenylephrine years ago, and why the OTC stuff doesn't work worth a damn anymore.
