Question 1

Accepted Answer

Question 2

i am taking fioricet for migraines. not working like excedrin migraine, but that causes intolerable side effects. excedrin has aspirin. is it safe to combine a small aspirin dose with fioricet?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin: If you do not have problem to take aspirin,consider taking Excedrin only unless if there is other information that I do not know.

Question 3

i take aspirin every day (via excedrin) for headaches. is there anything else i can take that works as good as asprin but without the side effects? nothing over the counter works. even with migraine scrip i still need excedrin, mostly bc of muscles?

Accepted Answer

: Aspirin taken occasionally can relieve headaches, but when taken daily, aspirin overuse headaches are known to occur. NSAID meds like advil or aleve are less apt to cause pain medication overuse headaches. I recommend being evaluated by a neurologist with special interest in headache treatments or visit a headache clinic for accurate diagnosis &amp; best treatment.

Question 4

i took zoloft at eleven o'clock yesterday morning and i have a migraine. is it safe to take an ibuprofen or an excedrin without horrible side effects?

Accepted Answer

Be careful : Avoid ibuprofen and all NSAIDs, also compounds containing aspirin as excedrin migraine, all those can interact with zoloft and cause increased risk of bleeding or CNS symptoms, if used without caution. You may want to use preparations like excedrin tension headache which contains acetaminophem and caffeine for now, no aspirin in it, and on your next doctor's visit address this issue, good luck

Question 5

i'm wondering why are the dosing instructions different on excedrin and excedrin migraine?

Accepted Answer

Look at dosing: Look at dosing although excedrin and excedrin migraine are essentially the same, look at the various compoenents of it.  They may be different.  325 Aspirin or 500mg aspirin, same with caffeine, and acetominophen.  If they are the same then no difference.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: None of the ingredients cause vision problems.  Migraines can cause vision problems.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes: They can be used together. The flexeril may cause you some sedation. Rest and sleep the Migraine will go away.
