Yesterday morning, I took Tylenol extended release 650 mg tablet. It was to relieve an earache. Right after taking it, I developed muscle pain in my upper left leg. I still have the pain today. Has anyone experienced side effects from Tylenol? After stopping Tylenol, how long does it take for the side effects to go away?
Thanks!

Hi Brett. I asked my GP for a stronger painkiller for a shoulder injury after a relative had been prescribe Tylenol and found it effective. I was surprised when my GP assured me that Tylenol and Paracetamol are one and the same (Acetaminophen ; produced in the US as Tylenol and in Europe as Paracetamol).
I've taken Paracetamol for many years without after effects and muscle pain doesn't appear on the accompanying leaflet as a possible side effect. But maybe consult your doctor for reassurance. I alternate between 1000mg Paracetamol & 1000mg Co-codamol as prescribed. I've never had any issues from either so, again, I suggest you have a word with your doctor..
