(Palm Beach Post) – A new study is stating that painkillers are doing a lot more than dulling physical pain, they’re numbing your emotions as well.
The study, that was published in Psychological Science, included Tylenol as well as other over-the-counter acetaminophen medications.
To come to this finding, researches gave 82 study participants a pill, half receiving acetaminophen and the other half receiving a placebo.
An hour later, the subjects were shown a range of emotional pictures.
