Re: What works best for your headaches

sex ...BIG time stress reliever and by the time youre done you dont even remember you had a headache!

seriously!

however, if thats not an option at the time then i use tylenol. everything else is too harsh for my stomach.

Re: What works best for your headaches

For my really really bad headaches I start off with Tylenol followed by a cup of coffee and then Motrin or Advil about an hour or two later. If possible I try to squeeze in a nap too and when I wake up headache gone!

Re: What works best for your headaches

I read that alot of you said coffee.........I never knew this I am gonna try that next headache

i usually pop 3 advil liquigels but recently started using aleve and that works sooooo fast

Re: What works best for your headaches

Excedrin Migraine was the only thing that EVER worked for me.....

Re: What works best for your headaches

I have to take prescription meds (currently taking Relpax)

Re: What works best for your headaches

Excedrin, extra strength! the ONLY thing that helps!

Re: What works best for your headaches

2 aleve, and headache is gone before you know it. I swear it works better than anything i ever tried. I always make sure to have it at home, and in my purse, for wherever i am

Re: What works best for your headaches

2 Aleeve & wait for it.....Head On! Yes...I apply it directly to the forehead.

Re: What works best for your headaches

excedrin migraine for me. i really think it's the caffeine that does the trick!

Re: What works best for your headaches

Alleve and a nap if I can.....it depends on why I have the headache. Sometimes I need food, or sleep or it's just to loud, but Alleve helps and so does wearing my glasses if I get a headache at work.

Re: What works best for your headaches

Imitrex only

Re: What works best for your headaches

Motrin works the best for me since I only get the occasional headache. I do not get migranes though, I couldn't even imagine what that must be like

Re: What works best for your headaches

my doc said I can have 3-4 Aleve (equal to 1000 mg of motrin)

and I also have a can of coke, the caffeine helps.

but the only thing that fully helps is a nap in the dark...just had one on Saturday.

Re: What works best for your headaches

Depends on what the headache is from..For a migraine if I catch it early enough, excedrin migraine

if it's a tension headache from my neck I have fioricet or if it's a larger muscle tension problem, I may on rare occasion take a muscle relaxer.

For a regular headache that is severe and won't be helped by Advil or another NSAID, then I take Darvocet.

Re: What works best for your headaches

Excedrine all teh way. its the only thing that works on my headaches.
