Reason: dental pain and arthritis Date: 2 June 2007
Side Effects
headache, including pounding in head, throbbing of neck and temporal blood vessel (left side) and sometimes rapid heartbeat and/or palpitations, all these occuring only as the drug wears out of my system.

Additional Thoughts
If I absolutely must take an over the counter analgesic, this is the one I reach for. It is especially effective on dental pain, and causes fewer side effects than NSAIDS. However, it sometimes gives me a headache as it wears off, and symptoms that suggest it may be raising my blood pressure, so I only take it when abosolutely necessary. In addition, it is supposed to be hard on the kidneys, although I have no information that it has negatively affected me in that way.
