Pharmacist over the counter US/UK!
Its just dawned on me today after yet another shopping trip in the UK that head ache tablets/pills etc in the US are only 200mg and in the UK we can buy paracetamol for 500mg non prescription so I decided to stock up but you can only buy 2 packs at a time I remeber years ago buying Boots 100's in the paracetamol!!
Also whats with Kaolin and Morphine for a bad stomach easily avalible in the UK kids can take it, but my Ex had a fit when I said that we use it openly with no worries, is it illegal to bring this Kaolin and Morphine into the states? tastes like crap excuse the pun but bloody works well.
There seems to be more non prescription open for us to buy in the UK then the US I never really took much notice before.

Tylenol extra strength is 500mg paracetamol by the way - exactly the same as you're planning to stock up on. You can buy nice big bottles in the US - no limit on the amount, unlike the UK.
Different stuff in different countries I guess.

But the US sells antibiotic cream over the counter, and you can't in the UK.

Re: Pharmacist over the counter US/UK!
Tylenol = acetominophen = paracetamol
The dosages are quite different for the different drugs. And, ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory, better for some things than paracetamol. Although asmatics can have problems with nsaids such as ibuprofen, and thus must take tylenol instead.

You shouldn't get withdrawal symptoms (literally) from advil or tylenol or such.
And if you are getting constant headaches, probably should get that looked into (if you haven't already).
Sorry in any case, doesn't sound fun.
