I guess I'm Americaning wrong. As far as painkillers go, 've only taken one ibuprofen in the last year. I even had a severe gut pain event where they prescribed me some oxy but I never took anything.

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

Also Australians (where the most economical package of paracetamol/acetaminophen is 200 pills for A$4).
200 mg? I know people over here that will pop a pair of 800 mg tablets.
Isn't 800mg Rx-only? If they're doing it under their doctor's supervision, then that's their business.
Or... And doctors hate this one trick...
8 200mg pills

Honestly I think the Americans have it right, here.
You end up taking fewer painkillers of you start taking them early and get ahead of the pain. If you wait until the pain is already severe, you end up taking more.
Idk why this happens, it's info I got from a nurse, and intuitively it feels right.
