Not a stupid question and no it is not addictive, only the hydro. Just don't take more than instructed on the bottle so you don't damage your liver. Good luck, Corey

hydro is addictive/this u know//tylenol is not....but the tylenol portion of the pills u were taking were toxic to ur liver...and i am not super sure of ur dose cos i have early onset alzheimers!  LOL..no really...4000 mgs of tylenol is the max a person should use daily before it can be toxic to ur liver..using tylenol right now is probably fine as long as u have done no liver damage and u r taking reasonable amts of tylenol each day....a better choice to feed ur body right now would be the aminos in the thomas recipe..keep posting
