I only take aspirin and I really really believe in it. I have a beastly pain threshold and as long as I keep really really believing in aspirin it's placebo is enough for me to deal with it. In truth all three are pretty lame. After a few deaths in the family I ended up sitting on a pile of powerful prescription pain killers (pretty much all the good stuff). I used them once in a while but mostly traded them for this and that before they got too far past expiration. I also gave some to injured people I knew who didn't have health insurance. I miss them.
