Yes, probably.: You are taking a lot of highly addictive narcotic medication. Due to recent FDA regulation, the amount of Tylenol (acetaminophen) you are taking is probably not toxic, but prolonged Tylenol (acetaminophen) use can contribute to hearing loss in women. Even at lower dose, I would recommend regular liver tests, and talk to your doc about other options for pain control, unless you have a terminal condition.

Not for what u think: There is no reason why, as a hepatitis C carrier, that u cannot take analgesic (pain-killer) medications. HOWEVER, it seems like Oxycodone x 4 & Fentanyl is a LOT medicine to take at the same time. What is all this pain medicine for? And are you taking acetaminophen-based meds as well? (Tylenol, Percocet?) Many pain meds have acetaminophen in them, and so I would avoid all pain meds if I were u.
