> Escher,
> I did not see the post previous to yours. Can you tell me more about the problems with tylenol/acetaminaphen? Is it bad by itself, or just with lexapro? Can anyone else offer any info? thanks SKHi SK,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you~Tylenol is a challenge and/or compromise to the liver in and of itself. Rule of thumb: Think of it as same as alcohol; taken on occasion and in small doses, a healthy liver can process it without taking on damage. Think of continuous or large doses like an alcoholic's threat to the liver using alcoholic beverages. And especially consider it's 'long-remaining' presence as unhealthfully synergistic with other liver challenges.
Lexapro i do not think of as a compromise...
It's side-effect profile is amazingly clean. But then, i also take any USA phamaceudical company's profile info. to both MDs or to public in general with a very cautious guard. i tend to look at anecdotals and non-USA pharmaceudical company research results more and more, these days.A post of interest:
BLKVETTE's anecdotal experience:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20040423/msgs/341004.htmlPersonally, i am one who cannot take Tylenol/acetaminaphen anymore without actual liver _pain_ and swelling, because of all the times/years taking the med before knowing the damage it was causing. i was taking Tylenol as opposed to Aspirin/ibuprofen groups of meds because i have an anaphalactic shock reaction to the 'aspirin' and anti-inflammatory groups.
My personal research of above is necessarily vast and informed. (At least, the last time i updated) ;-)Hope this helps~
