I think you're mistaken. Naproxen is Aleve, ibuprofen is an NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory drug), and Tylenol is acetaminophen.

Vicodin is a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. The hydrocodone is a narcotic (opiate).

Combining two OTC pain medications is generally a bad idea as you'll combine the bad effects (i.e. stomach bleeding, taxing your liver) and you really won't get much more bang for your buck.

So to answer your question, none of the above.
