Are painkillers illegal

No, not all painkillers are illegal. There is a certain limit however to how strong the painkiller can be. Some of the strongest ones that are sold are things like Tylenol and Morphine. Do not take them too much or your body can get addicted and dependent. Doctors are only allowed to give painkillers of a certain strength since anything above that strength can cause almost immediate addiction, and terrible health problems. So, some painkillers are legal - and others not. I hope that was helpful!
