I'm not able to find Adult strength Liquid Tylenol - tried Walgreen's, CVS and Walmart - guess they haven't restocked it since the Tylenol scare last year as it was not a good seller.  

Any ideas?  Surgery on Monday.  

I do have the children's liquid tylenol stocked if needed.  Doctor's office closed.

When I had surgery the doctor discharged me with a prescription for liquid pain medicine that i picked up at my pharmacy. Sending good wishes your way for a speedy recovery.

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!

My dr. Said to take the children's. ask your surgeon what the doseage should be. The taste of the liquids both prescription & children's was so bad that husband & I decided real quick the pain was not that bad.

Use the child's liquid tylenol and adjust the dosage.

Doc usually prescribes liquid lortab.  Is your doc not sending you home with prescriptions?

I had a prescription for liquid oxycodone, which I took at home for a week.   I didn't want to be on narcotics for more than a week since my surgeon said they would constipate me.   I had a bottle of children's Tylenol to use after that but never needed it.

For after surgery, I also had an Rx.  But, to at home I also had liquid acetaminophen (Tylenol generic).  I found it on Amazon.  Order today and maybe it will arrive next week for after surgery and your Rx is over?

I don't know if I'd buy it online.....it had to be discontinued for a reason right?

Liquid Tylenol or anything of the sort has been discontinued. The pharmacist told me this a month or so ago, and it doesn't look like it'll be back for a while. I asked if I can just substitute childrens, but she said you'd have to take a few doses of the tiny bottle that it wouldn't be worth it. Have you thought about trying a pill crusher?

Tylenol Junior Meltaways. You have to take 3 if my memory serves me, but they just dissolve on your tongue.
