Did U Take The "do Not Take" Medication?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone taken the medication on the do not take list like Advil or Motrin? I had severe Migraines for over a week and had to take something. Now I have this horrible feeling in between my chest. :(

Oh I been thinking about this. I had a Migraine a few days ago. It was one day before I had to stop taking them. I won't think one time would hurt but call your dr. Good luck and let us know.

I haven't taken any thing but Tylenol since my surgery. I would call your Dr. and make sure everything is ok. Then I would ask him if he can give you any thing to take when you do get one, or something to prevent them. I've had severe Migraines all my life. I was on Inderal to prevent them for a few years and they just switched me to Verapamil because my Dr. said I had been on the Inderal for to long. I haven't had any since I've been on the Inderal and hopefully I won't get one with the switch. But I've noticed since the surgery when I do get a headache it's usually because i haven't drank enough Water. So i start downing the water and take a couple of Tylenol and it goes away.

I hope everythings ok.

Thanks for the info. I'm allergic to Tylenol and I just started back taken my verapermil. I had trouble taken the whole pill and have to cut it into 1/4.

I'm pretty sure a headache is better than burning a hole through your pouch which is what NSAIDs do.

I wish! I get Migraines that are so bad I can't function. I use to take - give to myself, air compression shots because it got so bad it would make my blood pressure 201/130 and had to hospitalize a couple of times. Not sure what to do since surgery.

I used to have severe migranes prior to surgery but they are gone now. Def try hydrating more and if you are taking in caffeine stop.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
