I'm currently on viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride). is it ok to take the occasional excedrin or advil? tylenol doesn't really help my headaches.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occasional ok: Occasional Motrin is ok. However ssris affect platelet aggregation which can lead to easy bruising. Take Motrin with food or milk to avoid developing a gastric ulcer. If you are having migraines often consider Topamax (topiramate) or elavil for prevention.

I tested positive for Covid last week and today is the last day of my isolation period. However, Ive had an extremely bad headache since yesterday. Sharp stabbing pain on the left side of my head near my temple. Takes my breath away when it happens. Neither Advil nor Tylenol have seemed to work for it. What should I do? Headache?
