Yes, I tried skipping some of my meds for a week (doctor said ok) but soon got back on them. I felt I was taking too many with little results but I was wrong. Also take with food 🤗

Sometimes upping fluid intake can ease headache problems, it may be that you are running low on fluids which is aggravating everything else and it is simple to remedy. I take Dioralyte regularly as I have a condition that makes me dehydrate and headachy all the time.
