IMO OTC pain meds are much more effective for pain and fever than people give them credit for. On opiods you feel messed up and it's clear that you took the medicine.

Tylenol and ibuprofen are very transparent. There's no obvious effects to remind you that you're on it. Yet multiple scientific studies have shown that the two in combination are just as effective for relieving some kinds of pain as Vicodin.

I can't count the number of times I took Tylenol and 800 of ibuprofen then told everyone at work I was feeling 'better', only to train wreck at the end of the day and feel just as bad as I did that morning
