Is it bad that I take advil for no reason sometimes?!
Question: Yes - too much ibuprofen (which is what Advil is) can cause kidney and/or liver problems, as well as rebound headaches. Since there is no ingredient in Advil that can induce "calm" or have a tranquilizing effect, I suspect that you are experiencing sort of a placebo effect from it - and although rare, it is possible to become addicted to ibuprofen. If this is the case, try switching out the potentially harmful substance with something that is good for you, or at the very least, not harmful. If you can't do that, you should see a medical professional for help conquering your addicition. And be aware that if you have an addiction in one area, your propensity for addiction in other areas of your life is probably greater, too. All things in moderation, dear.
Hope this helps.

Yes, doing anything for no reason can be bad, particularly when you're introducing foreign substances to your body.
Also, Advil can cause stomach ulcers in high amounts.
So, anyways, what's the reason you're taking advil?
There are no addictive ingredients in advil. If it's taking pills itself that you're addicted to, go get a multivitamin.
I wouldn't say it's horrible. But certainly not good, Have you ever been tested for OCD. It's the feeling that you have to do something even though you don't need to.
It all depends on how much and how often you're taking it.
I don't think it's that bad, although if you OD on them, such as having more than 12 (Or the specified amount directed on the bottle) in a day/week, then it may cause some concern. Whenever I feel any sort of pain I usually take a few advils regardless of the pain, it's my ideal pain reliever. Best of luck to you on your upcoming exam.
The "addiction" is just in your head. There are no addictive properties to ibuprofen. Why don't you switch it to an M&M or something. You have created a superstition type thing in your head.
Never take any medication that you don't actually need. You can do a lot more harm to yourself than good by doing that.
Taking things into your body that you don't need is very bad. The chemicals in the Advil or any other pain medication is not naturally found in your body and can actually cause other side effects. This is one reason why there are so many warnings about how much to take (regular size dose etc). I don't take pain medication for anything unless it's very serious. If you want something to calm your nerves that doesn't cause any problems, you can try lavendar scents or lavender sachets, oil, or lotions. It is calming and there won't be an addiction or reaction.
