I have used this drug only after very active, physicaly demanding days because I do not like to take pills. One at the end of that day and one the next morning gets me to be able to function fairly easily. I am of the mentallity that if I had no pain, I would deffinitely over do it. This takes most pain away with little to no side affects.

I like this pain reliever. It not only dulls the pain, but it also gives me a boost of energy. No crash afterwards. It works great for me. Although I only use it when I really feel I need it which is about 2-3 times a week. I have not had the need to take it consecutively. It's speratic.
