Can ibuprofen (or tylenol) alleviate my anxiety?
I have mild to moderate anxiety. I don’t have anti-anxiety medications at the moment, I only have ibuprofen and tylenol and I was wondering if they can alleviate my anxiety even just a little bit?

Take valerian root. It is a natural relaxant with a calming effect. It smells like horseshit, but is flavorless. Any drug store has it under the name Valerian. My doctor even took it when she was pregnant. I’ve used it (took 2 capsules) on occasion as a sleep aid, it works.
I used to have a prescription for Klonapin, but I haven't found a new psychiatrist here in Delaware. I take Valerian root and Kava Kava. Maybe Benadryl can help you calm down, but I wouldn't take more than two pills of course.
Also Yogi Tea makes some really great herbal teas! Another herbal tea I really like is Tension Tamer by Celestial Seasonings! 😊
I think if you have mild to moderate anxiety, there's probably something that happened to you during your childhood which left you with mental scars that still haven't healed.
I don't know what that may have been, but I think you need to try to tackle that problem head on before you take any pills. Easier said than done, granted.
