I am ashamed of this
.....

I take aspirin twice a day because I just love how it tastes. I would take more of it wouldn't cause me an OD.

(I know I know.... It is stupid. I am about to become a pharmacist, I know the side effects of it, bla bla bla... I just cannot stop, it is worse more distressed I am...)
It is like binge eating but med-eating (????). Sometimes I try drinking loads of water...

No idea of what to do with It.

I migth try to take water with lemon+bicarbonate to simulate the taste.

Have you tried tonic water, it’s got small amounts of quinine for its bitter taste but is safe.

My mother took 2 aspirin a day since she was in her mid 30s. She worked at the post office and her hands would hurt. Later years, when she needed treatment for high blood pressure, her doctor told her to stick with the aspirin, along with 2 meds he prescribed. When she died, she was nearly 91. So I don't know if it will hurt you, but she was unharmed..

Have you considered taking baby aspirin instead, maybe? Or taking 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night?

Good luck.

These are all good ideas. ^^^^^
I love the taste of my B12 vitamins and I wish I could eat a bunch of them.

With the aspirin, I wonder if it's pica? Maybe there's a certain mineral you need.

Tasty tasty Tonic water, I am loving it (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

I have thought about baby aspirin, but here you cannot but it without medical prescription. Anyway, I cannot really afford to take aspirin twice a day at long term or buy tonic water everyday. I think I can control my craving with water+lemon+bicarbonate (I am very poor, but fruits are cheap here, 1l of tonic water is as expensive as 2kg of lemons).

I am going to try to focus on my examns and see what happens

Thank you ! ♥

I used to eat aspirin for the taste too. I stopped because it's bad for your liver. I think it was a pics related thing like someone mentioned.
