I often take painkillers (acetaminophen aka paracetamol), but I’ve noticed that it’s much more effective if I take them TOGETHER with my ADHD medication (ritalin aka methylphenidate) + my morning coffee. If I don’t take them AT the same time, the painkiller is far less effective.

I do not exceed the maximum dosage of painkiller (1gram per intake, mornings), but alone this would barely suffice to kill my morning headache.

My hypothesis is that since the LIVER has to convert all three, I am effectively overdosing on either substance (painkiller or ADHD meds), and damaging my liver in the process.

    Well…no. I personally didn’t have headaches, but supposedly it’s very common, which is also why it flew under the radar for me. The tech kept asking, like it was almost a requirement. She also said I might feel fine now, but in 10 years I could develop heart problems, so the wearing the mask became an easy choice.

    Wrote a bunch more but the accidentally deleted it. No undo on Android so fuck it, have half a post :D
