Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My migraine specialist made me stop taking the naproxen sodium. I figured it couldn't hurt, right? He explained that it could totally hurt, so if it wasn't actually stopping hurt, I should stop chowing down.
how odd--mine told me to take it and gave me a scrip for strong ones! Not that they usually do much but I think the concept was they're less likely to cause rebound?
He said that since it wasn't having a demonstrable effect all I was doing was risking rebound.

I wanna play strip Scrabble with that man. Stat. Someone give him my number.
C: Sudafed
F: Benadryl (don't use it except for Chemo, which I am DONE with, but it was a godsend then)
M: Ibuprofen
I have a severe (i.e. throat swells shut) reaction to naproxen, so it's an automatic C.
It's probably different depending on the specifics of the case. Most of the time quick application of naproxin as soon as I notice auras heads off the pain entirely and just leaves me feeling fragile and lightheaded once my vision clears. But ibuprofin and acetamenophen don't touch a migraine for me, even though they're plenty effective against normal aches and pains. (And the former turned out to work better on the pain from my wisdom tooth extractions than prescription oxycodone did.)

Ibuprofen works for me, but I am pretty sure it's responsible for almost 20 years of stomach problems.
Ibuprofen = Vitamin I
yay perkins
If ibuprofen ever gives me stomach problems, I will cry and cry and cry.
I won't even tell you how quickly Tim and I go through a 500-count bottle of ibuprofen (he has knee pain, I have...all kinds of pain [dang, I'm like my dad]).
