In a huge blow to pain pill fans, federal advisory panel has issued a recommendation to the FDA that they ban all drugs that combine a narcotic with acetometophin, including Vicodin and Percocet.

The panel's recommendation -- which the FDA is mostly likely to follow -- comes after many reports regarding the long-term damage to the liver that this narco-Tylenol combo can cause. 

The panel’s 20-17 vote to recommend a ban on the combination drugs was one of 11 it took at a meeting called to advise the F.D.A. on problems arising from the extraordinary popularity of acetaminophen. In 2005, American consumers bought 28 billion doses of products containing the ingredient.
