    America… I remember seeing “value packs” of Tylenol containing 300 pills… that’s their idea of freedom… to allow people the choice of slow and agonizing suicide by liver failure

      kids were trying to robotrip on dextrotomorphan, and now they require ID to buy any cold medicine that contains it.

      The bottle on my shelf has 350 (new, Costco brand) but I don’t take over the recommended dose for obvious reasons. Guess it expired last year now that I look heh. The smaller bottles cost more per dose so no reason not buy a larger one. This is in Canada, not the US for people curious about other countries.

        they sell larger bulk bottles, usually i buy them on amazon, in-stores are usually more expensive. i also use naproxen too.

        That math doesn’t quite add up. Sure less per dose sounds good, but if you’re wasting half the bottle then paying a little more per dose but less total cost is still more economical.

          i buy the larger ones online. better than buying the small ones. i do this for anti-histamines too, because i got allergies, i can get 1000tablets for the 1st generations easy, and cheaper pricing for the 2nd generation ones years worth. kirkland has the quality to it, im trying some off-brand(probably chinese made) doesnt seem as effective, and it was a wierd shape.

          It may be less effective but you use it till the bottle is done, it’s not like milk it still works.
