Question : Hi, my name is Liz. I am a survivor of a Tylenol pm overdose. about a week ago I got out of rehab, and I was feeling fine. Now all of the sudden I have an urge to puke my guts out. At the hospital they had given me pills to protect my liver. I'm hoping every thing is okay, but I still want an opinion
