Do you guys believe in Tylenol, Advil

[PorkChop]

Been getting brutal migraines lately, too much caffeine, not enough sleep, etc, but I strongly believe the over the counter crap doesn't work,

They need you sick to buy their product.

Headache remedy?

[kidcudi92]

no .

[chipper]

They don't work for my wife but I thank god they work for me...

[Seaweed]

No

Blood thiner

[The Kraken]

Do I believe in them?

Yes, they do exactly what they claim to do which is decrease inflammation. They work well enough for a large portion of the population. My wife can take 3 ibuprofen and feel like a million bucks.

Now, they do nothing for me. Back in high school, Aleve worked great for anything I needed. I broke my ankle playing basketball my sr year in HS, only took aleve and it was fine.

Advil Liquid Gel Caps... in my opinion work better than regular Advil. I use them for any type of muscle strain... back aches etc.

The best Headache medicine ever made is ANACIN. Google it. Love it.

Over the counter Tylenol 650 ** arthitis is the strongest, anything stronger you need a script

Awesome. Caffeine free too

[TheMoneyShot]

Awesome. Caffeine free too

It does have mild caffeine in each pill. I believe it's 32mg of caffeine. It still works wonders!

Excedrin has probably the most caffeine in each pill. 65mg each pill. That's just too much.


Advil and Tylenol never relieved my headaches. I always go to Anacin. Hope you give it a shot.

[BetweenHerCheeks]

Aleve is only non-prescription med that does anything for me...if Aleve doesn't work, time to go see the doctor

[BrickJames]

I put some work in on your wife last night. Thank god you were working.

[swordsandtequila]

The answer's in your opening post. Less caffeine, more sleep.

[Snowball]

try 3 aspirin and lots of water.

[ttwarrior1]

i need to ask what kind of cafeine, yep, i need to ask, because u can fix it

start popping vitamin c also and liquid minerals.
breathing in your nose and out of your mouth also

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Every pill mentioned in this thread has worked in the past for me.

Well, except for Anacin, I have never tried that shit.

[Ralphie Halves]

Anacin is old school. I remember commercials for "Anacin 3" on tv when I was a kid. Didn't even know it was still around.

[TheMoneyShot]

My mom started me on that Anacin stuff when I was like 10-11 or so. Use to take like half a pill. My headaches were brutal... my diet was lousy for a youngster. Use to eat sugar and caffeine like crazy... plus I was overweight. It was the only thing that would calm my headaches down.

I had my first job at 15. Worked at a golf driving range... my boss goes... hey kid... go across the street and get me some Anacin. I just laughed at him... I'm like my boss uses the same stuff I do. I was joking with him... I said regular aspirin won't work sir? He looked at me crazy... he's like kid... just get me the Anacin... and don't come back with any other brand.

I know they have several varieties like Extra Strength etc... but I just use the regular version. Works just fine for me.

1200 ** ibuprofen a day
It will kill me
For hip pain
Only take it on days I work, off days rather be in pain and save atrition from kidney failure

Why are you taking so many milligrams a day?

If I have back trouble... I'll take about 400 milligrams and it usually does the job. Those liquid Advil gels.

[darrell74]

Can't walk
A bad day is 2000+ milligrams

Damn. Sorry to hear this pal.

I remember when I had a herniated disc... Was taking 2400 milligrams of Ibuprofen. Wasn't doing anything for... damn disc was leaning on a main nerve line.... pain 24 hours a day. Only time it didn't hurt... feet elevated while sleeping. But right when I put one foot on the floor in the morning... pain hit immediately. I had to get surgery done. Docs just pulled the disc right out.... they told me.. once when we cut you open... we had to change the game plan. We thought we would fuse that section together.... but we decided to just take the entire disc out.

I hope you get better man!

[PorkChop]

Well done men, this turned out great

For migraines drink a lot of water and gator aide

[grease lightnin]

I used to take a lot of ibuprofen and one day it started to give me canker sores in my mouth. I stopped taking it for maybe 12 yrs, tried it again, canker sores.

I have a summer cold right now, woke up in the middle of the night with a pounding headache, took two tylenol, gone when I woke up.

Aleve works best for aches and pains other than headaches for me

[RubberKettle]

Drink more water pal, like 2.5L per day
