So you don't take aspirin, ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc when you're not feeling well?

When I was a teenager I used to take a couple of paracetamol every day to deal with tension headaches from school.

This is really bad for you.

If you just deal with as much pain as you can or learn to look for the source and fix it then you build up a tolerance and don't need to reach for a pill at the slightest twinge.

Now I rarely use painkillers as painkillers. I use them for their other effects, ibuprofen for muscles spasms, paracetamol for colds, etc.

Aspirin and etc aren't meant to be taken every day.
