i need someone's help I've been 8 months post up and everything has been going great till now, well it's actually that I've had the flu since Tuesday my body aches my head has been hurting and I haven't really been eating anything just liquids it SUCKS!! My brother gave me one of his Tylenol 3 and in half hour I felt so much better. But I don't know if it's ok to take Tylenol 3? I know it's fine with regular Tylenol, what do you all suggest ?
You cannot take NSAID drugs. Tylenol products are not NSAIDs, including Tylenol 1 and Tylenol 3. They should be fine to take. You may want to discuss further with your centre or pharmacist. I'm glad you're feeling better.

Tylenol 3 is fine, however they won't last as long for you as they do your brother. Due to the RNY narcotics are metabolized quicker. IF they last 4 hours for him, they will last 2 for you for example. This MAY make you want to take a higher dose, or take take them more frequently, but I would resist doing that for many reasons...one is too much Acetaminophen is bad for your liver. Consider cutting it in half and taking half, then taking the other half an hour later to stretch it out like a normal dose would for a regular person and this will work better. Call your Dr. he might be able to give you something that will help. Hope you feel better soon =)
P.S - Make sure you are drinking as much fluids as you can. Getting dehydrated will make your headache worse.
