Absolutely, the risks of addiction are monumentally different and should not be conflate. That said, my sister definitely did get addicted to Advil in her teens. On the other hand, I haven’t had an Advil in over ten years and in that time have only experienced a handful of headaches, each only lasting a few minutes. Chances are, I’m just very lucky. But there’s also a good chance that if I resorted to Advil before meditation and hydration, my luck would run out more frequently. YMMV.
