Tylenol Doesn't Work Anymore

There was a time when any pounding of my head could be relieved by one little extra-strength Tylenol (assuming there were no gogo boys in the room to ease the pain even faster). It was a miracle drug, a bullet to the bad vibes in my brain that instantly had me floating through clouds of Cottonelle.

But some time ago, all that ended even faster than the careers of '90s talk show hosts. I could pop 100 Tylenols and not feel any differently, the pounding getting even more defiantly aggressive, like a bratty child with a drum kit who's been told by a 12-year-old babysitter to keep it down. Someone must have changed the fucking formula! They had clearly skanked around the lab and made it a placebo drug! (And the same thing has apparently happened with Benadril, by the way. I suddenly have no protection against allergies either!)

But back to my headaches. The problem is, I can't just switch to something else because Aleve and Advil have never worked for me. So what do I take--horse tranquilizer?

On a separate note, I hate "I Love My Carpet." I liberally sprinkled the shit on my rug and vacuumed it off as per instructions, and now my whole apartment reeks of rancid mulberries! I have a headache!

You'e so right. They weakened the formula. But at least it's not tainted with poison anymore.

While you're in the clouds of Cottonelle, make sure you get the toilet paper with aloe vera.

you do that, too--girlfiend? pay a little extra and you can have a 1 on 1 with the gogo boy of your choice in a private room! includes a complimentary bottle of champagne that´s gives you a migraine the very next day where you will need that advil!
remember tippy is not a city in china!

You take yourself to a doctor immediately and have him tell you what you should do. You do not ask us. You have a history. You know that.

Grammy's folk remedy for headaches: drink two glasses of Gatorade. I've tried it twice - it worked the first time, not so well the other. Of course, they took Grammy away in a straitjacket, but she knew a thing or two

Stay away from that tylenol shit -- it can destroy your liver. No shit. I have a friend who developed hepatitis from overuse of tylenol. (For you skeptics -- hepatitis just means inflamation of the liver, which can be caused by things other than viruses, including OTC medications.) Buffered aspirin is a much better option.

MM-

I think the problem is that you're drinking tablespoons of "Love My Carpet" with your Fresca for headache pain and you're using Tylenol to get rid of those stubborn carpet stains!

Switch the cups!

It's time to move up to the good stuff like Lortab.
Call your dentist and tell him you have a dry socket.
