> I am Asian which really throws a curve on your stats. I urinate frequently, and I think that may have something to do with it? I don't know, but I am still getting adequate pain relief for a couple of hours. Since I take it 5 times a day, every 4 or 5 hours, I am not completely pain free, but this is better then no relief.

There are over 100 known genetic variants of this enzyme, and many of those are null (i.e. genetic coding for an enzyme structure that does not work).
If you are 2D6 deficient, it makes us wonder if it's not the acetominophen (paracetamol) that's giving you analgesia.
