I could just swallow pills and tablets at 4 weeks out, but if you're worried it might get stuck, cut the tablet in half.

Where can you find adult liquid tylanol? we don't have it in any stores around here

I got mine at CVS pharmacy. Could not find it at walmart.

I have to say, it is VERY strong tasting and feels like nyquil used to feel going down. Like a warm, too sweet feeling. But it does work and pretty fast, too!

Hey Smof4, just in case, check your blood pressure if you haven't already. High BP can cause a headache, too.

Thanks, will be cutting it in half. And yes, where can you find the liquid adult Tylenol?

I would look at a pharmacy for the liguid adult tylenol, not at a grocery type store.

Tylenol Rapid Blast is a liquid and adult strength. I always found mine at WalMart and it was cheaper there than I've found anywhere else.

It still goes fast though, so once I went through two bottles I just started crusing the tylenol pills and used Water to dilute. It tastes terrible but its a lot cheaper and I don't even use Tylenol that much. I just wasn't able to use my NSAIDS until 1 mo out so I had to take something.

Is Dayquil or Nyquil not an option for us?

I tried some liquid NyQuil with my last head cold and my stomach burned like lava!! It scared the bejewels out of me. It also hit me so fast I felt like I smoked something funny rather than take an OTC cold medicine. After I started using the gel pills and all was ok using those.

We went to CVS and the pharmacist mixed some adult liquid tylenol for me. It tastes just as bad as the loritab but doesn't knock my on my butt! Plus you only have to take about 5ml (instead of 15ml of loritab)

I use Tylenol Jr melt aways, I just take 2 of them and they melt in my mouth. I've been taking them for years...long before WLS

For some reason, stores aren't carrying the liquid tylenol. You are fine swallowing the pills. I wouldn't take on an empty stomach or take them with a glass of milk.
