Like @Oso_Rojo and @take_five_seconds said, do NOT take more tylenol than you need. That shit is not benign. I know the getting high on tylenol specifically was partly a joke, but since you said you were serious about wanting to get high…

If you want to get high off OTC medicines you have a few options, all of which I could go into more detail about if you care. @TheModerateTankie suggested robotussin, and that is good so long as you can get the kind that ONLY contains DXM (dextromethorphan), no acetaminophen, no guaifenesen, etc. Personally, I would recommend RoboCough which is sold as a medication but is absolutely made for the purpose of getting high. It has no other active ingredients. DXM is a powerful dissociative so if you do use it, educate yourself on it first and use it with cautious respect.

By only DXM, you mean no other active or inactive ingredients…?

what if it has USP 20mg Cough Suppressant Guaifenesin, USP 400mg Expectorant

in other words how does this one look

The issue with that one is the guaifenesin. If you take enough of that robitussin to get enough DXM to get you high, you’re going to be consuming a lot of guaif. Now that’s not going to damage your organs like too much acetaminophen would, but it is very likely to make you puke and just overall mess with your stomach. You do not want that much guaif. I’ve known of people who put up with that for the sake of the high, but I would certainly not recommend it.

Oh and the USP isn’t a drug, it has to do with standards. Like, it’s saying it meets the US standards for being 20mg of DXM per given volume.

Edit: This is a very handy tool for calculating how much DXM you’re going to want to take given however much you weigh. (The more you weigh, the more you need to take for the desired effect). Honestly, the calculation seems pretty low to me, but better underdose than get too much. The helpful thing looks like the drop down menu for which product you’re using literally tells you which products are the ones with only DXM as the active ingredient. I wish this had been around back when I was using DXM on the regular.
This one has been around for forever, but only gives you straight mg of DXM.

Yeah, it’s kinda hilarious. They have actually toned down their website and packaging, no doubt because it was too obvious it existed only for people to get high with. Like Rolling Stones-esque lips and psychedelia all over the place. And from what I’ve heard, the milk thing is terrible advice! I know from experience it’s bad advice with respect to rice, soy, or almond milk, I don’t drink cow milk. It just locks in the terrible after taste. Best bet is to chase it with something strongly carbonated.
