Hi , Just wondering if you know that if you are

taking Vicodin, be very careful about taking tylenol

or any acetaminophen's. As Vicodin or hydrocodo has

acetaminophen in it too much can cause Liver Problems,

Kidney Disease, Overdose of the Drug Acetaminophen.

I was on Hydrocodo( spelling) generic for Vicodin

for 2 & 1/2 years, any it wasn't cutting the pain. My

doctor now has me on Morphine - SUL; 90 mg 3x daily,

and oxycodone 15 mg 1 every six hours as needed if the

morphine doesn't help.

Thought this might come in handy sometime. Take

Care. D.
