UUUGGGGGHHH

I hate it.

Admittedly, I took 4 Tylenols (which you should never do so please think of your health and don't do it) over the course of today till now.

I still feel something, especially where the shot was, and my head feels a bit light-headed and strange.

Don't get me wrong: I'm glad I took it and I'm actually a bit proud that this may be my seventh shot so far (probably sixth, though).

But the first day? Yeah, not so good.

as someone who got the Astra zeneca vaccine back in 2021, and had a few days that were as bad as i've ever felt, I'm sorry to hear you're going through it: trip report: 2/10, would not take again

Tylenol should be safe to take at recommended doses for most people, paracetamol generally recommends no more than 1000mg every 4hrs

high doses can hurt your liver, but you'd have to eat a couple of hundred to die (I did the math once while I was really sad)

i'm a drug user, not a doctor, ymmv

I was literally just having this conversation on another thread. Just because a bunch of Tylenol won't kill you doesn't mean it won't destroy your liver (which can then kill you slowly)
