HEY....I POSTED A NOTE TO YOU UNDER "BETZ" ON PAGE ONE OR TWO....HOW DO YOU GET TO JUST THE PERSON YOU WANT TO TALK TO ANYWAY?   DO YOU HAVE TO GO DOWN THE LIST LOOKING FOR THEM EVERYTIME TO CLICK ON THEIR NAME?

ANYWAY, LOOK UNDER "BETZ" AT THE NOTE I SENT YOU......HAVE A GOOD DAY!  MAYBE I WILL HEAR FROM YOU SOMETIME TODAY/TONIGHT...DO YOU WORK?  I DON'T.  THAT'S TO MY ADVANTAGE I GUESS.  I AM GONNA SEE IF THEY WILL LET ME PICK UP MY HYDROCODONES TODAY....IF NOT, ANOTHER BAD BAD DAY AT BEDROCK....LOL

Percocet DOES have tylenol (acetaminophen) hence the "Cet" in the name.  Lorcet/Norco/Vicodin all have tylenol in them.  Some have 325 tylenol...some have 500 mg tylenol. But they all do have tylenol. Vicoprofen has Ibuprofen....which is hydrocodone and Ibuprofen!  Hope this helps.

I didn't think hydro's had tylenol in them, percocet don't have tylenol in them, and i was told that hydro's didn't either, are there different kinds of hydros? Maybe the ones i saw was a different kind, is that possible?

Sorry i sound stupid right now, just don't know to much about drugs i guess.

Thanks again
Hope

Ok that is what i thought but wasn't sure...Thanks
So if someone is taking like up to 10 of those a day, it would be like taking 100 mg. of hydro, and 5000 mg of tylenol/a day...The tylenol is prob. worse for you than the hydro, right? How much tylenol is way to much in a day i guess is what i am asking?

Thanks
Hope

Hey there sweetie, how ya doing?  
I heard from someone here on the forum that there is like a certain mg limit that anyone should take of tylenol.  Maybe someone could remind her what that is.  I want to say 4000 mg but am not sure.

Yes 4,000 mgs is the MAX amount of tylenol suggested in a day... we all know that is easy to do..
Yes hydro aka vicodin, norco, loritab all have APAP in it which is tylenol
Percaset aka  enodocet, tylox ect  also have APAP in them
Oxycontin and Roxicodone are  oxycodone without tylenol
