Okay. You really really need to stop. Immediately. Taking 30 a day is putting 15,000 mg of tylenol into your body per day. The maximum recommended amount per day is 4,000 mg. You can really harm yourself doing that. Your major organs are in a lot of danger with a habit like that. See your doctor very soon. You are clearly addicted. They will atleast get you off the vicodin and on something like methadone while a treatment can be determined. Seriously, get help immediately. I do not mean to scare you, but that is way to much tylenol.
