Are you taking it under a doctors supervision? You could bring your concerns to the doctor who prescribed it. I would ask if I were in your situation. You are your own best advocate when it comes to your health.

I agree! Doctors can prescribe right medications. Why are you taking paracetamol?

Because paracetamol made me sleep. Making me have a nice sleep. I don’t know why?

As far as I know you can't get addicted to paracetamol. It's not a strong drug you know which is why it is available over the counter. I am confused though why you need to take it to sleep as it doesn't help this? x

Hi paracetamol is an anti-flammatory and a pain killer drug. It shouldn't make you tired. Have a look at the link below as it says if it makes you tired you need to see a doctor. It's possible you are very sensitive to it so check it out and don't take any chances.

If you are in the UK you can ask your pharmacist too. x
