What's your favorite? Dude, it's an honest question......

vienna waits · 08-04-2002, 03:37 PM

And what would that be? Over the counter is all I can get out of OTC.

"Nonnarcotic analgesics, which relieve minor pain, can be purchaed WITHOUT a prescription(this is where we all gasp);therefore, they are sometimes referred to as OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) drugs. The most common OTC is aspirin. Habitual use may cause pain to continue rather than subside. To avoid the harmful risk of adiction-the condition in which the body of the user becomes dependent on the drug in oder to function properly-Just saying "NO!" can save your life."

My dear sister found this article in her 4th grade health book......So that's why my mom limits my aspirin intake....

Anything in pill form. Preferably small.

Kitt · 08-04-2002, 07:21 PM

I must say, that ranks with some of the more odd questions I've read on here. And that's a competetive field.

Liquid medicine is nastay. I like pills. But I don't like when I'm sick.

Yup. I don't like drinking medicine. Ewwwwww it's nassssstay

Bootsy Whoosh · 08-04-2002, 09:22 PM

OK, I'll be the first to step up and really, specifically answer this question.

I prefer Excederin for headaches. I never take plain aspirin (my mom wouldn't let me as a kid because of Reye's syndrome, and I've just never broken the habit of not using it.)

If Excederin isn't handy, I pop some acetaminophen. If that ain't around, I'll settle for Ibuprofen.

Always pills, never capsules.

And I pretty much never buy name brand stuff except for Excederin. Stuff for headaches is pretty much the only time I use OTC's.

So there you have it. Don't die from excitement.

Jinny Girl · 08-04-2002, 11:22 PM

I dont have a fav pain keller but I LOOOOOVVVEEEE Benadryl (sp?) Alot of the time, I fake being sick so I can take it! Once in a while mom only gives me 3 because she doesnt believe im sick but alot of times i get the whole 4 and if i suck on em it makes my mouth numb! Once it made me really tired and a little dizzy, but other times it usually makes me hyper and gives me some energy. I havent taken any in a while but for a while I think I was addicted! Can you get addicted to that? I'd call my mom from a payphone, and go home early from school nearly every day even when I wasnt sick because id forget hoemwork in stuff then id be like "Omg, I get benadryl. Thank god!" in so messed up. It's kinda fun being messed up tho.

Mossopp · 08-05-2002, 02:33 PM

I take painkillers every day cos I get stress headaches. I use Solpadine cos they are the only kind that work for me.
People are always going on about the dangers of taking a lot of paracetamol and asprin but I've been taking 2 almost every day for, like, the last 6 years and I'm ok.
