Exactly, I recently have been dealing with wisdom teeth pain. And I've been taking generic brand Tylenol for about a week. Along with rinsing out my mouth with warm/cool water mixed with ten drops of tea tree oil to help with the inflammation. An ice pack to also help with the pain. I quit taking the pills two days ago, which I was taking 3 times a day in the beganing, and switched to taking them 2 times a day. And even though there was some pain. And before I quit I only took two tablets one time a day. At the end the pain was pretty bad, and I needed to let the pain go ahead and do its thing. This way I would not become dependent on the pills. My ciropractor once told me you need to feel the pain to help you heal better. This way one will not have to rely on pills, and let the body heal its self. And if the pain in my mouth continues I can still rinse out my mouth with the tea tree oil solution I mentioned above, any time without any side effects. And thankfully the tea tree oil is helping me out a lot. And drinking cups of roasted herbal tea helps too.

It doesn't work it's just a placebo" ugh cringey, but understandable why I believed that considering my history with painkillers.

Started feeling extreme nausea, thought food poisoning immediately. I'd been eating those Hall's C vitamins for a week, and sharing them at work sometimes(a maz on), and some workers on the line assumed & asserted that I must have vitamin C poisoning. I looked up symptoms and found Ibuprofen list of symptoms. I think I had all but 2 of them and one of those 2 was Coma! So I stopped immediately. I was going between a 400mg amount and a 600mg amount that had been prescribed for me previously for my Gout pain. I was working and secretly limping into work on a flare-up for about 2 weeks and didn't say anything because I've already been fired when my gout made me unreliable in the eyes of employers/managers in the past. I think it was day ten or eleven that the symptoms overtook me. But you know you do your best and all that, and most importantly it's an excellent lesson that can be learned from my mistake. I haven't yet seen the video, but will watch it as soon as possible. Thanks very much. I'm going to talk to a doctor soon about other important issues, but typing this out has made me realize I should list all of my physical symptoms out for her.

Because I can’t afford that medicine, I have to take an older medication that doesn’t stop acid reflux fully, which means I will eventually get cancer of the esophagus.

Excedrin is a brand of acetaminophen (paracetamol) with caffeine for headaches... I worked as a toxicology tech in a hospital which ran the county wide emergency drug screening (I am a chemist). Later I worked in pharmaceutical formulation development. Acetaminophen has a fairly narrow therapeutic range (10-20 mg/dL), and toxic side effects (mainly liver damage) above 20-25 mg/dL. Also, avoid any alcohol when using it, as the toxic metabolite from acetaminophen is detoxified by the same enzymatic pathway as is the toxic metabolite of alcohol... and since you will have more alcohol metabolite in you body than that of acetaminophen even if you only had one drink and the enzymes are fine tuned for fructose (fruit sugar - which you should also avoid in large amounts), it will preferentially breakdown the less toxic alcohol metabolite, leaving the more toxic acetaminophen metabolite in the liver, damaging it.

I come from a country that mainly uses paracetamol for common ails and fever. Very rarely did I take ibuprofen even when I lived in the US. But because of my bad case of menorrhagia, ibuprofen has given me some relief and back some control of my life. To me, the effects on other ails are pretty mild when I use ibuprofen but it is very effective for managing my menorrhagia. Talking about NSAIDs, I've had bad back for quite a while (coupled with what I suspect is fibromyalgia) and working to resolve it, but the pain can be so overwhelming, I can't even move around in bed without having excruciating pain sometimes (strangely, extremely bad before and during my periods). I've been recommended this patch with 30mg ketoprofen and I was so surprised that I can literally the relief when I use it on the back n pelvic areas. Although it is far from 100% relief, or even 70%, but it does help quite a bit and I sleep better. I do hope that as I slowly resolve my issues with my back, I will be able to wean off those patches.

They now say that taking drugs to lower fevers and giving fluids is not the best way. Fever should be left unless its out of control and IV fluids held off because during a fever the body retains fluid. Also its fine for people to not eat for a few days. Digestion burdens the body with extra work when it needs to be fighting the infection. Just give food only when the patient asks for it.

My personal opinion the Dr's sometimes give extra tablets for" in case". I once went to a Dr for stomach pains n he gave me ibuprofen, spasmed, n diclofenac. Lucky I came home n Google the side effects , contra indications n saw all the meds weren't necessary. I took the spasmed for 1 or 2 days n Rubbed my essential oils n I'm fine . I'd rather ask my pharmacist who knows what medicines reactions are to each other. Dr's should diagnose n let the pharmacists prescribe Just an opinion 🤷

I'm 63 and have had chronic neck and back pain for years. I found out a few weeks ago I can no longer take ibuprofen or nsaids, They raise my blood pressure. A few weeks ago I got a bloody nose in the middle of driving my car and when I got home it turned out my blood pressure was 145 over 90. Tylenol does nothing for me. So I am kind of stuck with aspirin which is better than nothing. It's kind of frustrating.

Since I used to be in toxicology and pharmaceutical formulation development, I had avoided using anything except enteric coated aspirin unless by doctor's orders, aspirin having the widest therapeutic range (10-100 mg/dL for headaches, 100-200 mg/dL for arthritis, toxic range starting above 250 to 300 mg/dL -- as of 1985). Due to a knee injury, I have had to take Ibuprofen, up until 2 weeks before my gastric bypass surgery, after which I had to take a liquid acetaminophen formulation -- children's version, until after 5 months I could start swallowing it in the pill form. But I try to minimize it due to the narrow therapeutic range and fairly low toxic range.

I cannot take the aspirin and ibuprofen as yet due to my gastric bypass surgery, will not until my doctor allows me to. Acetaminophen is the only one I am allowed to take, and it is not really effective against the same pains, it does dull them, but does not do as good a job, even at 2000 mg a day, and I generally take a maximum of 1000 mg a day... and I skip days.

Should have mentioned that taking NSAIDs with food doesn’t provide much protection if you are taking multiple doses daily for many days. I am a gastro NP and explain to pts that the NSAIDs block prostaglandins to stop inflammation and pain but unfortunately those same chemicals help to protect the stomach lining. So taking NSAIDs chronically leads to less protection for the stomach and increases the chance for gastric ulcers.
