Percocet =/= Oxys.
Anyhoo, take a couple tylenol PMs if your back hurts & you can't sleep. For someone whom "can't handle painkillers", 2 percocets or two Oxys is too much.
The only difference between the percocet and the oxy is percocet has added tylenol. So, if he was experiences acetaminophen toxicity from two percocet, I don't think tylenol PMs are what he should be taking.
If you're experiencing acetaminophen toxicity from that little of it, you need to get checked for liver function badly.
And you should probably cut down on your 5 gallons/day booze habit.
Or you shouldn't be like "OH GOD IT HURTS, MUST TAKE EIGHT TYLENOL AND SEE IF THAT CURES IT FIRST". Mix your OTC analgesics when possible to at least
try to avoid toxicity from any one in particular. (For example, if you've got Percocet, aspirin, Advil, and Tylenol lying around the house, ignore the bottle of Tylenol entirely as it's duplicated by the Percocet. Also, start with the aspirin as it's less likely to have dangerous side effects for the average person, even in large doses.)
