Tylenol (acetaminophen): Excessive TYLENOL (acetaminophen) intake( 2000 to 4000 mgs per day)can cause liver damage especially in conjunction with alcohol intake. Since you're not getting good relief with so much TYLENOL (acetaminophen), you may need an antiinflammatory medication which TYLENOL (acetaminophen) isn't. See your Physician or a rheumatologist to find out what is causing your symptoms and appropriate tests and treatment will be rendered.
