Yes and No: You have taken a whole day's worth of tylenol (acetaminophen) at once. Usually, the recommendation is 3000-4000mg per day in divided doses. It would be better to take 1000mg at breakfast, lunch, and dinner to spread it out. Instead, what you've done is deliver one whopping dose of tylenol (acetaminophen) to metabolize all at once. It's like pollution - you don't want to overwhelm the system!
