i get really sick sometimes and i really want to take paracetamol, but i`ve taken so many overdoses on paracetamol in the past that now i feel like throwing up when i see them, if i try to swallow them i throw them back up and have a disgusting taste in my mouth, what if i emptied a paracetamol capsule in a drink, will it still work on me?

Paracetamol or acetaminophen can be hepatotoxic (liver toxic) if taken more than the therapeutic dose. I hope your liver was not affected by taking too much of it. I guess your body is telling you not to take it anymore otherwise you will have to deal with the side effects of too much toxins that are already in your system. It would be better to find out what is making you sick before taking any OTC medications.

Best to ask the pharmacist. Some pills cannot be taken broken up so better check.

You could try the children's versions which are flavoured syrups.
Are you taking it for migraine? or other pain? Maybe you should ask your doctor is other treatments are more suitable for you.
