"I see some acetaminophen does absolutely nothing for pain, be it a headache, muscle pain, sunburn, anything I've tried it for, it failed miserably. Absolutely no noticeable pain relief. For a headache I take advil, which rocks for most types of pain, or Aleve, which is very good but not quite as good as advil. I take a quarter of an aspirin each day as a blood thinner. Avoid tylenol, I don't know why it's the best seller, maybe people take it because that's what their parents took."

Coles Paracetamol (acetaminophen) "Although I have a side effect of dry mouth and mild dizziness it takes away the pain as it should. The dry mouth appears when taking 4 or more in and 12hr period. Whereas the dizziness is more immediate 1hr after indigestion but dissipates an 1 to 2 hrs after ingestion."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) "This is my break through pain drug for occipital and trigeminal neuralgia attacks. And after brain surgery, I took this around the clock for months for the nerve pain. It took my pain level from 7 down to 2 in about half an hour and lasted 4-5 hours. I could tell when it was time to take another dose. I carry a packet of the powder form in my wallet for neuralgia emergencies."
