SO-
Where do you live? United States

Whats your preferred painkiller ? (ie paracetamol , ibruprofen etc ) naproxen/Advil

Why? Does something...unlike ibuprofen. Ibuprofen doesn't work.

How long does it take to 'kick in' ? Around 35min

Does it work well? Not really

Have you ever felt side effects/if so what were they? Nope...wonder what I would feel if I took the whole container at once.

Have you ever taken more than the guided amount (ie 3 or 4 instead of 2)? Thought about it. (not yet.)

What/Did anything happen (dizzyness/sickness/slight high etc)? N/A

Have you ever taken unneccessary painkillers (ie you didn't feel any pain when you took them? Sure...when I don't want to be in class I get dramatic in the nurse's office at school.

[kenoloor]

Where do you live? Illinois, USA

Whats your preferred painkiller ? (ie paracetamol , ibruprofen etc ) OTC naproxen (aka "Aleve")

Why? works quicker, better and longer than anything else I've tried.

How long does it take to 'kick in' ? Naproxen: an hour, tops. Ibuprofen, same.

Does it work well? it's lovely.

Have you ever felt side effects/if so what were they? upset stomach; usually only occurs when my stomach is empty, or already irritated

Have you ever taken more than the guided amount (ie 3 or 4 instead of 2)? I always take 4 every 6ish hours; the bottle recommends 2 every 8-12 (I think), but that's bullshit.

What/Did anything happen (dizzyness/sickness/slight high etc)? nothing happened except my pain went away

Have you ever taken unneccessary painkillers (ie you didn't feel any pain when you took them? yep

What/Did anything happen(dizzyness/sickness/slight high)? not shit happened.

[Fiction]

SO-
Where do you live? The UK

Whats your preferred painkiller ? (ie paracetamol , ibruprofen etc ) Ibuprofen

Why? I seem to me less tolerant too ibuprofen than paracetamol.

How long does it take to 'kick in' ? 30 minsish?

Does it work well? Ish.

Have you ever felt side effects/if so what were they? Nope

Have you ever taken more than the guided amount (ie 3 or 4 instead of 2)? I think i've taken around 6 ibuprofen at once before. As for paracetamol... i've attempted to kill myself with them so yeah. I took a few over what I should... And i've taken around 4 codeine tablets when you're meant to take one.

What/Did anything happen (dizzyness/sickness/slight high etc)?
With the ibuprofen, no. With the paracetamol I was throwing up for several hours and was taken to hospital, requiring emergency treatment and nearly causing permanent liver damage. Codiene made me high.

Have you ever taken unneccessary painkillers (ie you didn't feel any pain when you took them? When I overdosed I guess. I've taken codiene to get high before as well.

What/Did anything happen(dizzyness/sickness/slight high)? Codeine made me barely remember anything that happened. I woke up having broken things and with slashes all over my stomach. All I really remember of that is lying on my bed in tears. I was still high the next morning and after that I felt completely groggy and had the worst headache.
