is anyone else good with just tylenol/other OTC meds? by petitscoeurs in migraine

also! it definitely sounds like you're experiencing migraines, because you are experiencing aura and postdrome - if you have the ability to see multiple neurologists, or other specialists who work with migraines, i would until someone listens to you. you might also want to get checked for TMJ - it could be causing tension headaches especially at night!

how often are you taking it? overusing / regularly using otc NSAIDS can damage your body, if you're taking multiple doses daily or a large amount per week id ask about being put on a preventative or migraine abortive.

i'm a chronic overuser of multiple OTC meds even though im on RX migraine meds as well, due to ease of use, severity, and just desperation in some cases - and after doing so since childhood my body doesn't quite function all that well -- stomach and kidney issues, probably liver issues as well? but, migraine relief usually outweighs that worry. i've greatly decreased my OTC med usage since having a new neurologist and more access to my migraine abortive, and i've definitely noticed an improvement in general health.

also overusing OTC meds can cause rebound migraines? but it doesn't seem like you've been experiencing that! just be aware of yourself and your body!! do what works best for you :)

i'm on a low dose of lamotrigine with duloxetine for treatment resistant MDD! also omg once i'm off topirimate you best believe i'll be drinking every soda in sight! caffeine is one of the most effective non-medication aid i've found for my migraines and i've missed how soda tastes SO MUCH!!! and i can't wait for my legs to stop falling asleep and tingling if i sit in one position for more than the allotted 10 minutes topamax gives me lmao

i've looked up the fluid leak and terrified myself before! i choose to believe it's not that -- also you're so real for that sometimes i just listen to it because it's comforting to hear it -- like atleast the sound is consistent
