A member asked:
I am allergic to motrin. i have a really severe headache and tylenol (acetaminophen) is not helping. is there anything else i can take that will help?

Yes, but...: It's best to see your doctor to figure why you're getting such bad headaches. Things like stress, certain medications, and particular foods can trigger migraines. There are prescription meds to help knock out migraines and daily meds if needed to prevent them. Meds like tramadol are non-nsaids (no motrin) stronger than tylenol (acetaminophen) and non narcotics available by prescription.
