Good luck with that, the tylenol isn't gonna hurt you, unless you liver is messed up!

If you don't like the answers you're getting, then stop asking the question over and over! I've seen the same question at least 3 times in the last 2 days. Apparently, it can't be done. And why are you afraid to talk to your doctor about your meds? If you're so concerned about the tylenol ask for something else! BTW, if you take the elixir as prescribed, at the proper dosage, it is NOT too much tylenol PER DOSE. But now if ya want to drink the whole bottle, then I can see how that would be a problem for you. Bigger than the tylenol issue.

If you really have it for surgery then your doctor has determined that it is whats best for you. You should never try to alter a prescribed drug, its too dangerous. (and a felony). The only people who extract drugs from pills are junkies.

SHORTY,
UNLESS YOU ARE A CHEMIST WITH A PHARMACEUTICAL BACKGROUND THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
CALL YOUR DOCTOR, AND GET ADVICE.
