Taking matters into my own hands?
Talked to my doc today that they've been waking me up for 2 days straight and that I've had to take
excedrin
so I said can I start taking a preventative and she said yea we might have to do that. Then she never said anything and when I asked the nurse to tell her she just said to take
excedrin
.

Anyone have luck with preventative drugs?
I currently take 50mg sumatriptan and
excedrin
for my migraines. Sometimes an
excedrin
will do it if I take it early on but my sumatriptan usually kills it in one dose if I don't wait too long. But I am noticing that I am taking these drugs anywhere from 8-10 times a month.

New here. Advice? Tips?
I take
excedrin
but try not to take much bc I don't want rebound headaches and I have acid reflux (taking med for that). My doc gave me sumatripran but reading the info scared me & I don't really wanna take it. I also have anxiety and unfortunately this has been getting worse.

Migraines and so so tired
I have been taking some Paracetamol and
Excedrin
Migraine, (my rheumy has told me that I shouldn’t take ibuprofen due to my lupus), but they do not go away! I have had insomnia in the past and thus have taken a bunch of sleeping meds; all prescribed by my psychiatrist.

New to ADHD and new to this Forum
I used to go through large quantities of
Excedrin
, taking usually 3 tablets every three or four hours to relieve the hideous throbbing pain. On one occasion, while visiting friends, such a headache was coming on.

Headaches
It's an everyday all day thing he takes
Excedrin
sometimes but nothing helps. Going to make him an appointment with a neurologist Monday. He does have high blood pressure which he takes meds for but I don't know why they happen so often any suggestions?

Neuro/MS specialist & Ocrevus update
My doctor diagnosed my migraines werein fact withdraw symptoms from prolonged use of
Excedrin
. Who would have thought it. I didn't even know that was even possible. So he put me on Neproxin Dr/EC twice daily for two weeks then as needed for pain. It is a weak pain reliever. Guess what else?

Very nervous!
We bought cough drops,
Excedrin
for our headaches, and the doctor prescribed Robutussin with Codeine. But for some reason I was very upset with the whole scenario and actually had dry heaves at home later that day. I live alone and had all kinds of thoughts going through my mind!

Has anyone had RLS symptoms happening mainly in there toes and feet.
I have never done marijuana, or any other drugs other than things prescribed for my ADHD, Mood, Depression, and over the counter stuff for headaches and coughs like
Excedrin
, Advil, and Delsym. My mothers father had RLS. I'm not allergic to anything as far as I'm aware.

Hi I'm new here!
I would get a migraine maybe 1-2 a month but
excedrin
extra strength would generally take care of it. Recently around my period I started getting headaches more frequently and then those headaches become migraines.

Help for Fatigue
I've gotten so desperate (I work full time while staying at home with my 4yr old/ 9 month old) that I will take
Excedrin
with a huge cup of coffee just to make sure I don't fall asleep caring for them. Is there anything you all have done that has helped?

Constant Headaches

Excedrin
and its gone.

NSAIDs
Note that
Excedrin
contains acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine.) Wiki: acetaminophen "is generally not considered an NSAID because it has only little anti-inflammatory activity. It treats pain mainly by blocking COX-2 mostly in the central nervous system, but not much in the rest of the body."

RLS and Osteoarthritis
I take
Excedrin
and rub on Aspercreme , use heating pad and hot baths. I am managing, but only just. I walk even though it hurts because If I don't I won't be able to at all. I have RLS day and night, I take ropinerole and gabapentin for it. Sometimes it works quite well and sometimes not.

Anyone deal with migraines ?
I had to go pickup
excedrin
migraine because of the duration of the throbbing pain. The pain was better within an hour but I had light sensitivity all day and the nausea went away for a couple hour after taking 2 tums but it came back. I was prescribed an anti nausea medication.
