[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The chance of stomach bleeding is tiny for someone who's only taking it for a day or so at a time at the recommended dosage. I'm not a migraine expert, but I'd say take it every 4 hours today, bearing in mind that it has caffeine.
I second this. You want to get that migraine totally gone.
Thanks sj. I definitely need to get some kind of soft, bland food to take the medication with. The apple worked out but is not optimal for calming the stomach.
I wonder if this is right...or advisable...the box says to not take more than two caplets in 24 hours.
That makes me super nervous, as it has been just 4 hours and I'm certain the symptoms are not well and truly gone.
What do you all do for migraine symptoms?
I feel like I've just joined a club that doesn't really want me.
Total cross-post.
So, taking more often might not be a problem?
I should add:
250mg acetaminophen, 250mg aspirin, 65mg caffeine per caplet and I've had two.
250mg acetaminophen, 250mg aspirin, 65mg caffeine per caplet and I've had two.
Huh. There is no reason you can't take 2 caplets every 6 hours. (Bearing in mind the caffeine component -- it might keep you awake.)
Bless you, Steph.
Honestly, awake and not in pain is totally okay with me.
Once medicated, I retreat to a dark room and try to sleep it off. I've also been known to throw things at my kids if they sleep above a whisper.
Sending no more migraine~ma your way.
Extra-strength tylenol is 500 mg acetaminophen per caplet, and you can take 2 every 6 hours. So there is no reason you can't take 2 caps of 250 mg each every 6 hours.
Exedrin Migraine
I was popping these quite a lot the past couple months or so. Then when I was refilling my vitamin container I noticed the bottle in my bag and realized that I hadn't taken any since I went to NY. I am not sure whether it is the drop in temperature or the drop in stress that did it. Dehydration can be a big factor with me for headaches. But 2 weeks headache free. How about that!?!?!
Yay Laura! I hope you can keep up the lack of headaches!
I have never taken Excedrin Migraine, though I have tried all the components when I have a migraine! Also occasionally alcohol helps, though I try to not do that in combo with most of the other things.
Yay for headache-free, Laura!
::whisper:: boo for headache, bonny
So it turns out I can keep a tiny toad alive, but tiny crickets NSM. oops. Buying more today.
