"I am unable to take NSAIDs, so when I have severe headaches/migraines and body pains, I take Tylenol (or a generic acetaminophen, they act the same for me). I have done so since I was a kid, and I have always been careful to follow the dosage directions. My main issue has always been how long it takes to kick in, regardless of the brand. If I'm lucky, my pain will start to go away after half an hour. Usually, it will take at least an hour to start working, and in worst cases, it will take two or more hours. The pain does go away, but with the side effect of feeling 'out of it'-foggy and a little clumsier, like I'm only 2/3 there. But I would much prefer to feel that than having the severe pain. I've learned to take it when I can feel a mild headache getting worse, so that by the time it hits severe, the medicine will have kicked in. It's best to take with food because, on an empty stomach, there will be some bad nausea right after."

Acetaminophen "I started taking Tylenol Extra Strength for pain after a deep puncture wound requiring skin glue. It's powerful stuff, so I never took more than 1,000 milligrams (2 pills) at a time. The max daily dose is 4,000 milligrams, but I never needed that much; about half of that does the trick for me. I haven't had any negative side effects, but I worry I may become dependent on it if I don't taper off soon. I've read what it can do to a person's liver..."

Acetaminophen "Although I have a side effect of dry mouth and mild dizziness, it takes away the pain as it should. The dry mouth appears when taking 4 or more in a 12-hour period. Whereas the dizziness is more immediate, 1 hour after ingestion but dissipates in 1 to 2 hours after ingestion."

"It cannot be overstated how dangerous this medication is. Over 100 teens die yearly in the USA alone from an acetaminophen overdose. I believe personal experience is illustrative and common, so I'll share. The child was not truly trying to harm herself, as with most, they don't think it can harm them, their desire is to regain control. They may vomit. Regardless, they wake the next morning feeling embarrassed but fine, unaware their liver is dying inside them. By the time they realize they are sick, nothing can be done. Please educate your children on the dangers of this liver-killing poison! Never exceed the recommended dosage, I never go above 3 doses daily, and never mix with alcohol! I also avoid APAP meds, 5 mg oxycodone, not Percocet, etc."
