I used to have headaches daily and like you pretty much lived on Excedrine. My doctor put me on meds, and once we got the right dosage I did see a decrease but was still getting them a couple times a week, less severe. In preparation for my surgery I stopped taking the birth control pills and got an IUD. I haven’t had a headache in 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately I spent the last 20 years living with daily headaches that were likely caused by the birth control pills. I’m only a couple weeks post op so crossing my fingers I stay this way because Tylenol does absolutely nothing for a headache for me. Good luck!

I also haven't had a headache since I stopped Birth control pills, which is weird, since I went on them in part to control the terrible Migraines I would get when I go my period. Of course, I haven't had my period in the 12 weeks since I stopped them (I used to take them continuous cycling so I haven't had my period in over a decade, no surprise that my period is a bit messed up now!).
