Excedrin is great, but it causes rebound headaches per my doctor. That is why I stopped taking it. I had to have my head scanned because of a headache that lasted 20 some days out of 30!! He told me to immediately stop taking excedrine. Makes sense because it has caffeine in it--Barb--I think it might have ASA also (aspirin) It's either ASA or tylenol. Look at the bottle and tell me what else besides caffeine.
Why are you nauseated? What kind of sinus pill did you take? Only a decongestant...not a decongestant and a pain reliever all in one!! Other wise you are doubling up on pain meds!! I take a sudafed and motrin when I have a combo sinus/migraine headache.
You are so right about the rebound headaches. I use to have them a lot not use to still do but when i have a real bad migraine i need my meds no if and or buts. With all this weather changing every few days The barometric pressure going up and down will not give my head a chance to stop hurting. Feel your pain Barb. Snow again tomorrow.

Hey girl--miss seeing you here also!! I have a headache tonight too, but it is sinus related--probably from the weather.

Barb, look at your bottle of excedrin and tell me the active ingredients besides caffeine.

Ok will text ya later, head is not hurting as badly, think the meds are working..I love that Zyrtec..
I love zyrtec also!! I should take one myself. As for the strong cup of coffee...caffeine is a headache trigger as well, but OTOH, caffeine withdrawal can trigger a headache too, not to mention looking like this from no caffeine...
