Acetaminophen

Hi, for the past four years or so I have had dependency issues with Tylenol PM and similar drugs. On average I would take 8 pills a night, each one containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen. I currently in my first night of detox, but I am worried about how this all has affected my liver. So far I have been unable to find anything about long term abuse of acetaminophen and as such have only been given lots of "thats really not good for you" like statements as opposed to real knowledge on the matter.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide a link to something similar to this situation. I recently found out that the liver can regenerate itself, but Im also unsure about the how severely mine must be damaged after four years of constant abuse. Anything will help at this point. Thanks in advance.

Long term abuse of acetaminophen can have effects on the liver. The best way to find out is to go to the doctor have have a liver panel done- it's quick, painless and you can have the results usually in 1-2 days. My hats off to you on choosing to detox yourself- best of luck to you!
