The only thing I have found that helps when I have a REALLY BAD headache is crushing 2 Aleve (Naproxen Sodium) and then disolving them in about a teaspoon or less of warm Water. It burns on the way down and that is why I crush and disolve. It takes a little while to disolve all the way, but you don't want any nasty little bits left behind to chew. Yes, it is an NSAID and we bandsters are to stay clear of them, but I only do it when things get bad. The reason we should not take NSAIDS is because they could sit in the pouch and cause ulcers. Yet another reason I crush and disolve.

If the headache isn't too bad I use a double dose of Jr. strength ibuprophen (another NSAID) in liquid or chewable form.

They also make adult strength Tylenol (not an NSAID), but it doesn't really work.

I would run this by your doctor to be sure, but you could probably take Tylenol without irritating the pouch. If you are too tight for that, try liquid Tylenol. Just to be sure though ask your doc.

Excedrin Migraine is the only thing that works for me. I just bite it into tiny pieces and swallow with a mouthful of Water. Yeah...nasty, but it works.

My doctor said I could take liquid ibuprofen but I was having a hard time finding any. He said to get the liquid children's and would be fine to take. they told me to alternate that and the tylenol. He said that the children's version was 100 mg per dose where when you used to take a pill it was 200 mg per dose. So you have to take a little bit more. I was also itchy from the pain medicine so he told me to get the children's liquid benedryl. It has really helped.
