Hi, I took vicodin for several years and before going CT, I took it every day for close to 2 years at 10/325 with upwards of 8 pills a day and I have some liver damage. I am lucky in that it can be corrected over time and through healthy diet and clean living but if I hadn't gotten the tests done or stopped the pills, who knows. Go get tested and please think about quitting the Vics if you haven't already.

It really depends on how much acetaminophen you were taking over the course of the 3 years. I was taking on average 15,000mg a day for close to a year before I finally quit the pills. I had a liver function test and it came back fine. But, everyone's body is different so what one body can handle doesn't mean another one can handle the same. The liver is an amazing organ and can repair itself if there isn't too much damage already done. It could be fine one day and in bad shape the next so the sooner you stop poisoning it the better. If you are worried you need to get a liver function test done asap. It will give you peace of mind instead of worrying about it all the time.
