Nothing quite hurts like a broken heart. But it turns out something could help: over-the-counter pain medication. On Tuesday, Forbes reported on a new study showing that taking painkillers can reduce the severity of emotional pain caused by rejection. This adds to a body of literature showing that acetaminophen dampens emotional pain better than taking nothing at all.

People didn't 'end up addicted to opioids in the US' because they were 'looking for a quick fix'. They were prescribed them by their doctors who knew full well they were unnecessarily strong but made more money prescribing them than over the counter alternatives.

Yes please.

I get nightmares with some brands but not sure why. I won't take any.

Over the counter opioids-yes please people would be easier to control. While we're at it why is adderoll (speed) not commonly prescribed in Australia? It should be available over the counter as well. America claims it has an opioid epidemic but everyone is hooked on Adderoll.

And perhaps we should disregard the growing list of side effects, the potential for overdosing, the difficulty in monitoring the patients condition, interactions with other medications, plus other issues...?

Acetominophen can be toxic to the liver. Harming your liver will bring you lots of emotional pain down the road. Better to just dive into the Mocha Almond Fudge and find some nice simple superhero movie with a happy ending to watch. 🙃😉

Tylenol will perforate your liver

The Guardian, one of the biggest fan of Oxyc..... You and your friends helped drug abuses

No I carry my pain and learn from it. By experiencing emotional pain in myself, I learn to recognise it in others which means I am better able to help them

Alcohol?

nope never.

So were going for an over medicated nation type thing like the states are we?

Seems like an old classic word not used very much by women.

Girl, 8, dies after being 'raped by 16 men'Sixteen men were reportedly arrested after the girl’s mum went to police in 2019 claiming that up to 16 male relatives had raped her child over a period of three years. Britains answer, is to keep quiet when these people do it here, and call anyone 'Racist' if they dare to mention it. I would have cut it off, for the first child, I would have killed all the other relatives one by one. A mother is to protect her children. Are these relatives catholics by any chance as our Church is full of peadiophiles PREACHING to us what we should be , flaming hypocrits I wish people like these rapists would drop dead. How sad. 😞

Share your experiences of emotional affairsIf you or your partner have had an emotional affair, we’d like to hear about it. Share your stories Damn you’re trying to get ppl in trouble today? Why share with a newspaper, as you call it, 'experiences of emotional affairs', which is nothing more than voluntarily handing over your own and someone else's private life to a newspaper. No doubt many will. Isn't this tabloid 'reporting', you know, the type you are calling to be banned ?
