I agree with the sentiment but are 200mg common where you live? Here in Germany I always get 400mg packs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, 100 mg being the standard, 200 mg "strong" ones and 400 mg "we have a good price on these, look how strong they are" said by a visibly excited pharmacy lady. Just behind your eastern border.

Hi. American here with atypical trigeminal neuralgia.

I don't even bother with analgesics for anything at this point. You hit 10 on the pain scale enough times and anything below 6 you mostly shrug off.

Unless I stub my toe. That shit hurts like a motherfucker.

i had to take 3.2g of ibuprofen for years before i got my gout under control. then like magic, naproxen actually started working for me. now its just 600mg of that for the same effect

Allopurinol for a change?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm kinda in this meme. I went through one of those big bottles roughly every 1-2 months for 20 years. Sometimes 12 pills in one day, with 4-8 acetaminophen on top (they do giant double packs of those too). Chronic migraines, but every doctor I asked for help just told me to lose weight so it went untreated and got worse and worse. Our health care suuuucks.

I did lose the weight. It didn't magically fix my migraines, or affect them at all. Insurance dicked me around for another year and a half while my neurologist tried to help every way she could, but we finally got it down to only one migraine a week. I'm truly glad for that, but I still think about the years of unnecessary suffering, and how much better it might be now if I'd been treated sooner.

You know what sucks as well? Taking too many painkillers against headaches actually causes headaches. Horrible ones at that. Glad to read that you're feeling better, but that's a real trap many people out there are stuck in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yup, it was the first thing we checked when I actually got treatment. I'm sure that didn't help, but compared to the pain of the migraines it was negligible. Having to refrain from pain meds for a while to make sure was a hell of a ride though. I lasted about three months. The doctor was satisfied with 1-2 but I wanted to be damn sure.

I give people the same warning nowadays. Don't take that stuff more than once a week.

Holy shit, how did you not die from stomach ulcers?

The pills will ease the Payne.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

People actually do that? I only take a few painkillers when I'm on my period.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago

If I'm sore I probably take 3 ibuprofen every 4 hours.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Two 500mg tablets of acetaminophen please, thank you

Fun fact for Europeans: we call paracetamol acetaminophen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

...but it is amid, not amin, no? Why do americans call it acetaminophen instead of acetamidophen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Nope it's amin according to Google.

I actually thought I spelled it wrong at first. Weird.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Nope it's amin according to Google.

That's why I ask. Americans call it "acetaminophen", but compound doesn't have amino-group and instead had amido-group.

IUPAC calls it as what it is: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide

EDIT: my guess is that america uses another nomenclature for organic chemistry. As usual. Do they have compound called "freedom eagle guns"? I'm so used to amine meaning specifically R-NH2 and nothing else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Idk I'm not a chemist. I thought the whole point of scientific standards was that everyone used the same name/units but we don't even spell meter right in the states.

If those bottles are sold as a pair and each has 500 pills, 1000 pills is more than a hospital grade package in my country.
