Adult liquid Tylenol and dumping???

I am at a point where I don't need the vicoden anymore most of the time and think I would be fine taking just Tylenol.  However I could not find sugar-free liquid anywhere, and I am a little nervous to try it in fear that it will make me dump.  It seem so thick and syrupy (spelling not my best suit).  So my question is has the Adult Liquid Tylenol made any one else dump?  Or should I just try it?  Or just crush up some tablets and mix it in some jello? 

Thanks in advance!!,

I was able to swallow Tylenol tablets whole after my surgery.  I think I took some two or three days after surgery for fever.

My surgen said apsolutely NO!  If it is not chewable or liquid I have to cru**** up, and I am to scared of it getting stuck.  I am sort of a big baby that way!! lol

I got the childrens' tylenol Meltaways.  I got the children's liquid to.  I use them both.  I haven't seen adult liquid tylenol....is it Rx?  My pharmacy said there is no such thing.

Its not RX I bought it at walmart.  It was near all of the other tylenol tabs lower down on the shelf.  I have also seen it at RiteAid.  I may look into the meltaways, thanks!

 I don't think the sugar content of Tylenol is any greater than yogurt, etc.?  Though I'm not sure...but I'd say just try it.  Unless you know already that you're sensitive to sugars/fats, just try it.  I haven't had any issue with soups/yogurts with a little higher sugar content.  Try looking up ingredients of Tylenol and see what the numbers are?  Or just crush regular if you're scared.

 someone posted that the adult Tylenol has 12g sugar per dose ... my husband brought some home for me yesterday and I'm not going near it :)   I don't want to find out if I dump!

I have the CVS Pharmacy brand of extra strength adult liquid tylenol. The 3rd ingredient is high fructose corn syrup, but you take such a small amount that I don't think it is a problem. I took it 2 or 3 times my first week after surgery and didn't have any problem with it.
