Tylenol OD also severely damages the liver. People who attempt suicide by Tylenol OD often end up surviving the attempt, and a fair amount of them will probably end up needing liver transplants.
That also leads to problems because livers available for transplants are few, and often times transplant teams will deny these short-supply livers to someone who has attempted suicide - especially if there were multiple or recent attempts. They want the organs to go to someone who won't destroy them (keeping someone else from living). That is similar to not giving them to current alcoholics or drug addicts that may have destroyed their liver with cirrhosis.
Oh one HUGE note... It turns out one of the main treatments for liver toxicity from acetaminophen is - wait for it - NAC!
