      As a teen I was prescribed 500mg ones for my migraine, and it said to take 2 each time.

      Now in Japan I get 140mg ones and it says to take 1 each time.

      Now that I think about it, I don't think acetaminophen has been effective in ever curing my headaches even back when I was prescribed liver damage amounts.

      Sleep apparently > painkillers

        I wouldn't necessarily generalize; even if acetaminophen doesn't work, other painkillers like aspirin or naproxen sodium might. (Personally, I take naproxen sodium and only naproxen sodium when I have a headache.)
