I guess everyone's different but I've never understood people that don't pop a cheeky Paracetamol or Ibuprofen when they get a headache. If it's just every now and then I really don't see the harm, but I've met quite a few people who don't like taking them for some reason. I've never pressed them on it because it seems rude.
I don't get headaches very often, though, so I guess if they're very common I could understand wanting to keep the pills for only when they're really bad or something.
I've had the same bottle for a couple years now, but my understanding is it's reasonably safe. I've never personally known someone who's succumbed to ibuprofen addiction lol
They're not addictive, but it can be kind of hard on your liver if you're taking a lot, and I think NSAIDs can cause stomach ulcers (again, if you're taking a lot).
I get headaches almost daily so I try to be careful, but I still take pain killers because they kill pain.
here in sweden at least the packages just say to not take more than 3 pills per day and to seek help if you want to take them for more than a week straight.
Yeah, I can definitely understand if it's a daily thing. It would suck to get headaches everyday.
I had a knee injury a little while back and was in really bad pain and I was prescribed something that was basically a very strong ibuprofen, and it was great but after a while my gut felt so bad, fortunately the two weeks or so was really all I needed.
Privation fetish. I have a bit of it tbh. The feeling that you need to be able to weather hard times, for... reasons? Like you level up your endurance stat by withstanding pain or some shit lol
