Painkiller before the test

<p>Does anyone have any experience of taking Ibuprofin or some other kind of painkiller before a standardized test? I find myself having a headache 95% of the time I wake up and i’m not sure whether the painkiller will be more beneficial by neutralizing my headache or whether it will be more disadvantageous by decreasing my attention span / making me drowsy.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
