I have taken vivarin and excedrin (which has caffiene in it too) together. Aspirin thins your blood and caffiene effects the blood vessels. Works for me and makes me hyper. If you take excedrin and sudaphed it's like meth. I call it "Mommy Meth". I can clean and sanitize a house in like 20 minutes on that stuff :p

lmao. i guess the caffeine effect was neutralized by the handful of ibuprofens and tylenols i swallowed with it. my liver and kidneys are prolly damaged beyond repair but at least i didn't throw myself out a window in order to end the pain. :D


i just remembered a piece on migraine/tension headache sufferers i saw on gma. they're performing surgery on the tissues that surround the nerves that run up the back of the neck, removing some that may be compressing those nerves. the surgery doesn't work for every sufferer and, because it's a new treatment, they said it's difficult to find a doctor who will recommend it and even harder to find a surgeon who'll do it. but they did say that for most patients who fit the physiological conditions, relief from constant or frequent headaches is a very good likelihood.

Hmm maybe I should try the mommy meth. :) I certainly have not tried that combo. I did read the article about the surgical option. That just seems so risky and last resort!!!

Just for the record, the pills in Excedrin Migraine are the exact same formula as original Excedrine...Bristol-Myers has permission to label their product as such. I mention this because I always found Excedrin (or its clone Vanquish) the only thing that made life bearable when I had cluster headaches, much like migraines but more common in men...

I thank you for that bit of info, however, neither have ever worked for me. I hate these medical issues where you feel like a damned lab rat!

How are you today, Sweetie?

Unfortunately, about the same. I have gone over everything like laundry detergents, soaps, dryer sheets, everything to see if I might have changed something. However, I cannot figure out anything environmental that I may have changed.......

WARNING: This is highly illegal, dangerous, and should only be tried by the desperate.

Have you tried LSD? I remember one episode of House, M.D. where he dropped acid to treat a self induced migrane, and I was thinking it may help.

You may also want to look into cluster headaches, and feel fortunate (or cursed if that is what you really have.)

Other than that, don't do LSD kids. Unless you really, really want your trip to the aquarium to be extra fun!

I too have tried everything and can tell you that perfumes do it to me everytime. ugh.. and also chocolate if i over do it

The relpak works for me but sometimes if bad enough i do have to do the imitrix shots..

They have had some luck with blood pressure meds and such..

Shadow have they tried topamax with you??

CL--I can honestly say that I have NEVER tried LSD LOL!!!!!

Rhiannon--Yes I have tried several of the pre-emptive meds, and they don't seem to be working either. :(
