taking vicoden on cycle

[Phate]

So I have been taking acetaminophen every day for the last year (sometimes 3-4/day). I have also taken it every day since I started my cycle. I have been training like an animal, kept my diet 100% perfect and doing everything I possibly can to grow. I mean down to a T!
Would it make sense to assume that I have only achieved 30% of what I SHOULD have achieved because of taking Tylenol every day?
I know that it can have adverse effects on the liver but I have my values checked every 6 months and there has never been an issue. I'm not taking any kind of AAS that is putting a strain on my liver either. Needless to say i've stopped taking Tylenol and made an appointment with my Dr to try and get something else for the pain. What a kick in the balls!

the better question is why are you taking that much that often?

I wrote this in a post earlier in the thread:

"I had a bad industrial accident at the age of 20 that left me unable to walk or do much else for 3 years. 11 reconstructive surgeries later I was able to walk again and have been training ever since. I got off narcotic pain meds during the first year of my rehab and have been taking either tylenol or advil almost every day ever since (occasional narcotic meds when pain is real bad)."

I could still be on narcotic pain meds if I wanted to be. I took myself off them after all my surgeries were done. I thought I was doing good by stopping them and taking Tylenol instead. Now i'm questioning that decision.

no, your decision was the right one IMO, one thing my dad always tells me(he's a nationally accredited doctor) is that almost all medications, especially painkillers, antidepressants, etc... are POISONS, that is how they work, they poison the body into creating a response that is favorable to the patient

but remember, at the end of the day, they are poisons and taking any poison for a prolonged period of time is never a good thing
