It's usually Motrin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1677108 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 08:03:21 +0000 littlebug 1677108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excedrin Migraine at the first sign of a headache, cuz, like @lovehoneybee, if I don't stop it in its tracks, then I'm sitting with the lights out, praying that my head would just go ahead and crack in half already. I'm sure I do over-medicate, but it's worth it to me. Full-blown migraines are a bitch. And once I get one, it starts a cycle where I have one for days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1677075 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:52:24 +0000 Adira 1677075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm not pregnant, I take ibuprofen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1677072 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:50:34 +0000 Littlebit 1677072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Everything you said!!</p> <p>I don't mess around - I immediately take Excedrin Migraine.

From time to time I get a dull annoying headache that just won't go away, but as soon as the Advil kicks in it's gone for good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676810 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:43:37 +0000 fancyfunction 1676810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually Advil or Excedrin. FWIW, Excedrin Extra Strength (which is what I take) and Excedrin Migraine are the exact formulation, just labeled differently. I found that out the hard way when the Migraine one didn't work for my actual migraine. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676485 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:31:16 +0000 Boogs 1676485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ever take tylenol or the generic version of it. Advil does nothing and stronger stuff like excedrin makes me sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676452 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:17:02 +0000 mrsjazz 1676452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol doesn't work for me. I usually take Aleve or Excedrin. I only take drugs for headaches if it really becomes unbearable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676449 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:16:15 +0000 IRunForFun 1676449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to pop Motrin for headaches regularly or sometimes Excedrin for a migraine, but I felt like I was taking too much too often. Now I try to do it sparingly, like only if it's a headache where I can't function. Fortunately cutting out gluten solved my migraine problem (not my primary intent but a welcome benefit!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676440 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:12:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1676440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take Aleve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676420 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:00:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 1676420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excedrin Migraine, and at the first sign of a headache. Migraines start out the same as regular headaches for me, and if I don't catch it right away it's a bad scene. I'm sure I over-medicate for normal headaches, but it's not worth the risk of guessing wrong, especially if I'm at work and can't lie in a dark cold room nursing a migraine. </p> <p>The only time I don't take Excedrin is when I can tell it'll be a sinus headache, and then I take either Claritin or Allegra. Sinus headaches can be just as debilitating as migraines for me, and if untreated tend to blow into sinus migraines, which is the worst of both worlds :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676372 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:36:08 +0000 Bookish 1676372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing that helps me is aleve (naproxen) or muscle relaxers (prescription). I get rotten tension headaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676369 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:35:19 +0000 Bao 1676369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I get cranky if I have a headache, I take Tylenol or the off brand equivalent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676368 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:34:51 +0000 Synchronicity 1676368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No for headaches, yes for migraines (Excedrin Migraine). Advil and Tylenol don't have much of an effect on me, unless I take a few too many. My doctor told me that I shouldn't bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-medicine-for-headaches#post-1676358 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:30:03 +0000 chopsuey 1676358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, which brand? </p> <p>I've had a dull headache all day. Just popped some Tylenol! </p>
