A member asked:
I take 2000mg or more of extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) a day for pain. my doctor says it is less harmful than narcotic use. what is your opinion?

Tylenol (acetaminophen): 2000mg per day is the limit, chronic use can cause liver damage, you need to have better pain control.
