MamaM 72 Posted August 15, 2012 I've got an Rx for them. I've suffered for years. Call your doc's office and see what they say. Feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lollyfidy1965 402 Posted August 15, 2012 I've had Migraines since I was 5, and have taken Advil or years. Now I can only take liquid Tylenol....no more NSAIDs since surgery. I've found a very little Tylenol works remarkably well, since my surgery...taking care of lower back pain like magic. Fortunately, I've not had a Migraine since my surgery (a significant miracle!), so I don't know how well it will work on one of those. I hope you get some relief!!

gustavo52974 369 Posted August 15, 2012 I've suffered from Migraines since I was 9 years old. I've tried every over-the-counter medication and the only thing that seems to work for me is Excedrin Migraine. It's acetaminophen 200 mg, aspirin 250 mg, caffeine 65 mg. I just take the aspirin and acetaminophen combination because I get caffeine headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apricot1119 105 Posted August 15, 2012 I was told no caffeine and no asprine. Tylenole didn't touch it. I had some lortab left over that has pushed it away a little, but that won't help with future attacks. Mine seem linked to TOM. Thank god not every month though.

612belly 32 Posted August 15, 2012 Excuse my language but f over ther counter! I am a sufferer and there are several things. Maxalt 10mg sublingual, Imitrex offer a subq self injection or if you want an anti inflam ibrofen type try Toradol also available injection. All these require scripts. But aren't oral so should be ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikkic 11 Posted August 15, 2012 I have had Migraines for 20plus years, I am on daily meds to avoid and I have Imitrex for when i do get one, I am able to swallow half of one, because crushing them was a nightmare,both need prescriptions but it was worth getting them, you shouldn't continue to suffer with them.There are a lot of different meds you can take to help. I am at 21 days post op and swallowing it has not caused any problems.Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
