Am I addicted ?

I've been suffering from terrible headaches for the last couple of months. I went to the pharmacy and they gave me Doliprane in order to ease the pain. Now, I can't function without it. Even when I'm feeling well, I take a pill or two just in case the pain comes back. Does that mean I'm becoming addicted ? Should I consult a doctor ?

Why dint you go to a hospital for a proper diagnosis? Watch out so you do not become too dependent on the Doliprane

From what I just researched it is like our Tylenol which I have never heard of anyone being addicted to however it can cause liver problems and such if you take a lot. It could be that since you are afraid of pain that is why you take it. You can always check with your doctor thou.

@august18 Try to really think about it before you take it, it really is not good for the liver when taken along time.

You're right. I always have this idea going on my mind when I wake up in the morning that the pain might come back and so I find myself taking it even when I'm fine.

I don't think you should keep taking it every day unless your doctor said to. I assume it should be taken on an as needed basis. If you don't have pain then you shouldn't take it. Consult your doctor though.

You may need to see a doctor for your issues could be more complicated than pain itself.

I am the opposite, I hate pills and I am not good at following my doctor's orders. If you are taking pills even if you don't need it, it may not be good for you. Try to see if you can do without it say every other day.

There are many reasons to get a headache. You should consult a doctor for that.
