Tylenol: Paracetamol. Widely used non addictive pain medication. According to Wikipedia some German trade names are: Captin, Benuron, Enelfa.
Benadryl: Diphenhydramine. Allergy medicine. They kinda just throw it in every cold medicine, it feels like. Can't find specifically what trade names they use in Germany.
Advil: Ibuprofen. Pain medication. Other trade names usually just prefix a random word with "Ibu"
Xanax: Alprazolam. Anxiety medication. Surprised you haven't heard of this. American hiphop turned it into a household name at this point.
Effexor: Venlafaxine. Antidepressant.
Prozac: Fluoxetine. Antidepressant. Called Fluctin in Germany?
Klonopin: Clonazepam. Anxiety medication. Think they also call it Rivotril in Germany.
I use the American brand names when talking about meds on the internet.
I've never taken trade-name Tylenol, Benadryl, Advil (without pseudoephedrine), Xanax, Effexor, Prozac nor Klonopin.
But those are the names I'd use when discussing them to "blend in". If I start talking about panado or rivotril I may cause confusion. The API names are also just a fucking mouthful.
A story that stuck with me was about a user who took so much benadryl regularly, that his short term memory was basically completely fucked. Said his brain always felt like it was constantly rattling in his skull.
I'd sometimes use a small dose of the stuff as a sleep aid, but I always woke up feeling awful. It's amazing for allergies though.
In that case I'd be happy to clarify
