Does eating Tylenol or Advil make people happy? Like, as a painkiller does it do the job? I have a headache but as I took it I wonder does it make you happy as a “pain”killer. Pain is pain, emotional, mental, and physical. I’m just asking purely as a medical question, I DON’T HAVE AN ADDICTION. I’m just curious.
I'd say no. Aspirin thins the blood and causes blood vessles to expand, which is the cause of most minor aches. Things like vicodin or opioids can make you high, which can make your mood better
None of the other-the-counter pain meds like Tylenol (paracetamol/acetaminophen) or Advil (ibuprofen) have anything that would alter emotion.
