OTC PAIN PILLS WHO USES? HOW OFTEN? HOW MUCH?

[totalrecomp]

Almost every drug and supplement gets beat to death on here I hear very little about NSAIDS and I would think there use would be common. SO how much do you guys use them? How much? Do you prefer one in particular? Do you dislike any?

Me I use very sparingly maybe once to twice a month. If there is a fresh injury then ibuprofen is used perhaps for a few days at most. Tweaked my back and have been taking about 800mg total a day.

Ibuprofen if some injury really persists. But otherwise, the greatest thing I found this year is ibuprofen Gel. I never would have thought it worked, but it's WAY better to me than the pills and I can use as needed with less worry about systemic problems, liver and such, from NSAIDS.

baby aspirin every night before bed (81mg). There have been studies done saying NSAIDS inhibit protein synthesis and stuff which is why I was hesitant to start taking any, but I still have been gaining muscle and strength ever since starting. I think low doses are the key.

i try to take the least amount possible...liver toxicity...not much but can and will add up if taken on top of oral AAS...

I use baby aspirin when I take my ECA stack. Other than that, I use ibuprofen once in a while, only if I'm in a lot of pain for some reason.

I use alieve(sp) a few times a week, it works great, I buy the generic they are much cheaper.
