... hours as needed. On days where my pain is very severe I have taken 10 tablets in one day. Is this to high of a dosage?

This is a good way to lose your prescription and also a good way to poison yourself. The max on acetaminophen is 4,000mg a day, but most agree to be safe it shouldn't be more than half that. Your liver will fail if you keep this up. If your pain is that bad I strongly recommend you discuss it with your Dr. rather than exceed the instructions like that.

I ditto that. I was going to jump on the tylenol OD bandwagon too. Be aware that with these combination drugs containing tylenol, the 325 or 500 is tylenol, and it is very toxic to your liver if you take too much of it. I would much prefer if they didn't add it to the medication and just let people take a tylenol with it if they felt they needed it.
Indeed. Look at Vicodin ES, 7.5/750! Yikes!
Not to mention, it probably raises the cost of the meds. When I was a supervisor I hated to have tell a nurse she couldn't give a patient 2 tylenol, in between their percocet doses. This was long before the manufacturers of tylenol admitted the problem.They would look at me like I grew 2 heads.
