    I thought they put acetaminophen with other drugs to keep from overdosing because it will cause pain if you take to much.

      I hope not, it’s apparently pretty awful. You were up to fairly recently able to get Acetaminophen w/ caffeine and codeine (8mg) over the counter in Canada, found an article about a decade ago that mentions liver injury in people, definitely recall reading articles about bans on the sale because of the injury risk.

        Yeah I have been looking it up and it seems quite the opposite. aspirin and ibuprofen will irrate the stomach enough to make it hard to take to much but acetaminophen seems not to. Now I have no idea why they put acetaminophen with other meds. Its kinda funny because both my wife and I find acetaminophen to not really do much and prefer muscle relaxants. We also find opiods to not work all that well (like when its so bad from the surgery you can’t function they seem to be able to bring you to functional but to me don’t really get rid of the pain just sorta tamps it down) but the nerve ones like gapapentin were like. wow.
