Tylenol May Ease Pain of Existential Distress, Social Rejection 190
Guppy writes "Does Tylenol reduce existential distress? Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) has been used to relieve mild-to-moderate physical pain for over a century, yet its actual mechanism of action continues to be debated; modern research has demonstrated an intriguing connection with the body's endocannabinoid system, raising the question of whether it may also have subtle psychological effects as well. A recent paper claims Acetaminophen can alter our response to existential challenge; previous findings have suggested that it may blunt the pain of social rejection as well."

Wrong. It was added simply to control abuse.
Which is why there are no other options. From Wiki:
Hydrocodone/ibuprofen (Vicoprofen)
Oxycodone/paracetamol (Percocet)
Oxycodone/aspirin (Percodan)
Oxycodone/naloxone (Targin)
Morphine/naltrexone (Embeda)
Fentanyl/fluanisone (Hypnorm)
Paranoid much?

The study was double-blind with a placebo control.
You wasted the time spent on your response; time you will never get back.. Nobody's going to want to associate with you, either, because they'll look silly by reflection.
You might need a couple of Tylenol.
