Pounding Headache! HELP!

leelee00 · November 2010

I remember reading somewhere you shouldn't take a certain pain reliever for headaches while TTC. I can't remember what it was and where I read it! Is it Tylenol or Ibuprofen you should not take? I have never had such a bad headache and it is lasting forever! I normally don't ever take pain relievers. Help me please! TIA!

You don't want to take ibuprofin...tylenol is perfectly fine. HTH!

I think (and I hope to be corrected if I'm wrong) that Tylenol is ok, ibuprofen isn't.

I'd probably go for the Tylenol.

headaches are no good! Feel better soon.

Please don't hold me to this but I think the same rule applies with drink til its pink, bc you don't share the same blood supply. But I could very well be wrong, have you googled it?

Dude, 2 excedrins and a chaser of red bull. That'll take care of it for ya.

You would have to take an excessive amount of ibuprofin for that to make a difference. Like, a full dose daily for a month or more.

For a really bad headache, take one tylenol and one advil (as per my doctors suggestion) and a cup of coffee or soda.

As long as you don't overdo it, you can take the ibuprofin. If it makes you feel more comfortable though, stick with the tylenol and some caffeine (a coke of something similar). That always works for me.
