Daily Dose of Acetaminophen Posted: 12-20-05 20:21pm
Long story short, I was having a bad day.
I developed a headache and took a tylenol
3. It didn't go away. After about 20
minutes I was placed in an extremely high
stress situation. However, I did not
feel anything. No headache, no feeling
of stress, nothing. And so my question
is this, can a daily dose of acetaminophen
(something weaker than tylenol 3) help
reduce levels of stress and increase the
tolerance level of stress?

The thing with narcotic pain pills, they
give a feeling of euphoria. And tylenol
3 will make you have headaches if you miss
a dose, especially after taking then for
few days. Usually prescribed for things
like pulled teeth and usually need them
for atleast 2 or 3 days sometimes, and
then you get headache by not takin them.
As far as acetametaphin goes--i dont know.
I know it stops the reaction to pain in
the pain receptors. I dont know if it
helps stress, but pain will cause stress
to triple---

Acetaminophen is only used ot reduce pain
and fever, not stress.
