I've got this problem with painkillers. I think I'm taking far too much of them quite regularly. I mean ordinary OTC things like paracetamol or ibuprofen.

If I have a headache or cold, I just start taking them and then continue for 2-3 weeks non-stop, like 2 a day. And if I don't - I don't feel well. Is it some kind of addiction? (I bet it is!)

I know paracetamol is very bad for liver and i don't know about ibuprofen or other stuff, but I'm sure it's not good either.

Apart from that, I lead a fairly healthy life-style. Healthy food, yoga, pilates and swimming 2-3 times a week, don't get drunk or high regularly.

Has anybody got similar problem? Do you know how to deal with it?

Yeah Acetaminophen?paracetamol can muck up your liver.
Ibuprofen is hard on the kidneys


You just psychologically get used to using them, and your body can get weirded out if it's not getting something that its been fed for awhile.

Like caffeine & nicotine & stuff.

Take vitamins & drink lotsa water & stick a lollipop in your mouth whenever you wanna glom some otc tabs?? I dunno. But your liver enzymes are not loving you atm, I'm pretty sure.

Sorry
