Yup, paracetamol being prescribed for everything is a bit of a meme here.
- AstralStorm 3y agoThese days it tends to be ibuprofen.
- salad-tycoon 3y agoOr both, “studies show that both taken together is just as good if not better than opioids and narcotics!” Yep! I’ll save you all the rant about opioids.
- cnity 3y agoI would like to sign up for the opioid rant.
- refurb 3y agoYes, they work better used together, but except for a few specific types of pain (e.g. dental) they are far inferior to opioids.
- User23 3y agoI had a severe muscle pain once, like so bad that I literally could not stand the pain. I had to hold on to someone or something to move. The doctor prescribed an opioid and it did nothing. Then he suggested I try 800 mg tylenol for arthritis and it got me to the point where I could at least walk. Analgesia is pretty weird.
- maxboone 3y agoYeah, sometimes it's a bit much. Especially because I already do the paracetamol & wait myself before I go to the GP to begin with, but at least my current GP understands that.
