What do you take for a headache?



Recommended Posts

Do you use liquid acetaminophen or tylenol crushed up? I am not sure what to use for cramps and headaches and usually take a 1/2 of zanax.

I don't have any problems swallowing whole pills so I just take regular tylenol tablets.

I'm too scared to take a tylenol or ibuprofen pill so I take liquid tylenol. It's tastes disgusting (like it did when I was a kid), but I think it works faster in liquid form too.

I am also scared to take tylenol in pill form. What brand do you get of liquid tylenol or where do you get it? I looked and could not find Tylenol for adults in the liquid form. I found generic versions that I may just get.

My dr said that Iburofen (sp?) is not allowed. He stated it could cause stomach ulcers.

Liquid tylenol is very hard to find! I found the adult generic version at CVS. I couldn't find anything at Walgreens. I wanted to take ibuprofen in liquid form and the pharmacist said to take the children's version (yuk!). Someone on this sight said the liquid will go right down instead of sitting in your stomach so it's less likely to cause stomach issues. I find tylenol is better for headaches, but ibuprofen is best for achy muscles. I hope it works for you. Sometimes my headaches are so bad I feel nauseous. Then I get petrified that I'm going to throw up and slip my band.

I use the generic uncoated Tylenol tablets and I crush them. If I'm in a pinch I'll use a capsule and break in half.. I'm afraid of large pills since getting into the green.

DON'T TAKE IBUPROFEN it's horrible for your stomach. Liquid Tylenol or generic is the best, it works fast, it's amazing!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
