Maybe you should'nt post on a public board if you don't care about the publics feelings. And since when did you need to personally know another American before you could care for another American?

When is this government intervention trash going to end? Why are there so many morons walking the streets who don't read labels and refuse to take any personal responsibility for their own actions? If a person takes more than the prescribed dose of any medication, whether that's OTC or prescribed, then it's their own fault if something happens to them. This isn't a case of government trying to protect the public, it's a case of government hand holding and controlling the stupid masses. Not related to this medication, but related to how stupid some people are: eating raw cooking dough and gosh, getting sick from it; or, buying hot coffee from a fast food restaurant and putting the cup between the legs and gosh, oops getting burned. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I agree that people in general are pretty stupid these days. Just look at the posts from the majority of republicans.

Pharma companies and doctors....still the number one drug dealers in America, just from an office with a piece of paper on their wall instead of on a street corner or in an alley.

These nuts at the FDA need to make up their mind. They say its AOK for Big Pharme to be TV drug pushers but say we're overdosed on OTCs!

What hoot!

By the way, while it pains me to take away your reasons for calling me stupid, lacking in judgment & common sense, etc., I will tell you that I checked with my podiatrist before taking the increased dose and he said it should be fine.

Wishing you all the pleasure your charm brings to others!

Do you know how many people are hooked on these type of narcotics???? I myself was hooked on Vicodin for years and I found a way to get them no matter what....This stupid government thinks it is going to control anything that is addictive and in high demand....If not opiates through pills,they will go on the street to cop heroin..Just like with weed people will find a way to get it...The bottom line is our country is probably the biggest users of drugs and alcohol in the entire world..And America had a hand in flooding its own streets with drugs as well...The war on Drugs...What a bunch of hypocrites...Drugs come into this cointry by so many different ways...Usually through those that are supposed to be keeping it out....What A Joke...

This comment is in response to nancyrlewis's comment. You want the FDA to ban something that you admitted to taking too much of in the first place? Why should they ban Tylenol because you were too stupid to take the recommended dose? It is because of people with your judgement that this is being brought up in the first place. If people would just basically use the brains they were given and use common sense, then there wouldn't be the health issues.

another thing to consider also is this, i am on coumadin (a blood thinner) and i cannot take ibuprofen or certain other meds due to its interaction. i can only take acetaminophen for pain and fevers, i have no other choice. its either another blood clot and severe pain possibly death or a pain med that can be monitored and controlled inother medications that people are not aware that it is in.
