    Are you saying that despite not getting you high it’s the primary cause of acute liver failure in the world, over alcoholism, because it’s such a good placebo?

        OD, or having a pre-existing liver condition or taking other medication with acetaminophen that causes you to inadvertently OD on it.

        It’s true that the rates of OD are high for Acetaminophen, but if you don’t have or do any of the above, it’s safe.

        Just take the recommended dose at the recommended schedules, not 20, and stop + see a doctor if your pain doesn’t get better. It’s not usually meant to treat chronic pains, and neither is Ibuprofen.

          stop + see a doctor if your pain doesn’t get better. It’s not really meant to treat chronic pains, and neither is Ibuprofen.

          Thank you for the advice, but as someone with chronic pain, my doctor(s) do recommend I take it fairly regularly, though generally when my pain reaches more acute, flare-up levels. I use medicinal cannabis for the chronic stuff.
