"It is the absolute worst painkiller to take when you have period pain. It did not ease my period pain at all. I would not recommend it to anyone. Don't touch it. I am very lucky now that I do not take Paracetamol anymore."

"I have found Tylenol and other equivalents to be relatively ineffective in reducing pain associated with my degenerative disk disease (neck pain, severe headaches, lower back pain). I have had some success with tramadol coupled with muscle relaxants, Tylenol with codeine, and Vicodin (5 and 7.5 mg). I also had good results with Aleve until I started to have stomach problems."

"Administered an IV bolus of 600 mg of Paracetamol to a patient in severe to moderate pain, and the patient suddenly started sleeping off, but that was not expected, so I checked and found the pulse unrecordable and BP not measurable. Quickly gave an IV bolus of saline and restored vitals, and subsequently monitored the patient for the next six hours. I think the effect of rapid administration IV should be hammered on."
