No. You should check the ingredients in the Excedrin Migraine. Two tablets contain 500 mg of aspirin and 500 mg of acetaminophen plus 65 mg of caffeine. You should not take more aspirin. It can cause stomach bleeding. If that dose is ineffective perhaps you should be evaluated by a neurologist and try to find a prescription drug to treat your migraines. There are several extremely ones available.

Can you take a Xanax after excedrin migraine?

In my personal use, if the xanax is taken at the earliest moment of the onset of a migraine, I have been able to control the migraine.


Can migraine relief tablets be taken at the same time as omeprazole?

Yes. Omeprazole (Prilosec) does not interfere with either the triptan medications or over the counter marketed pain relievers such as Excedrin/Excedrin Migraine. In fact, when omeprazole is taken with aspirin (which is found in Excedrin) it has been shown to protect against the potential for creating ulcers.


Can you take tizanidine and excedrin migraine?

Yes. Tizanidine (Zanaflex) is a muscle relaxer. Excedrin Migraine (and regular Excedrin) contain(s) acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine. If taken together, Tizanidine will increase the amount of time the acetaminophen takes to work (by about 15 minutes). Otherwise, there aren't any interactions that have been found. Tizanidine does interact with several antibiotics, birth control, certain blood pressure medications (including Verapamil, which can be used as a migraine preventative), cimetidine (Tagamet (an OTC acid reducer), and acyclovir. Always read the full label, and make sure your doctor knows everything you take in a given day, including over the counter medications and supplements.

Can Aleve be taken with tramadol?

It is not a good idea to take an over the counter pain medicine with a prescription pain medicine. The best way would be to ask the doctor who gave you the tramadol prescription whether you can take something over the counter. The prescription drug is stronger than the over the counter drug - you should not need any extra pain relief on top of a prescription.

Can i take excedrin with lorazepam?

You should not be taking Excedrin with Lortab (hydrocodone with acetaminophen), because they both contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). If you do, you need to exercise extreme caution.Taking more than 4000mg of acetaminophen within a 24 hour period can cause liver damage, severe overdoses can cause liver failure.You need to read both the labels on the Excedrin and the Lortab to know exactly how much acetaminophen is in each tablet. There are different types of Excedrin - some which have 250mg of acetaminophen per tablet, some which have 500mg. All hydrocodone formulations marketed under Lortab contain 500mg of acetaminophen per tablet. (Note: Vicodin, Norco, or the generic Hydrocodone/APAP - have other different formulations, some of which are higher than 500mg per pill).If you have taken your Lortab and still need increased pain relief, other OTC medications you can consider are a straight aspirin medication (Like Bayer) or an ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or Naprosyn (Aleve).


What can be used instead of excedrin migraine?

If you are having actual migraines, you can ask your doctor for a prescription. Medications such as Fiorocet are effective for many people with migraines. If they are regular headaches, try regular Excedrin, but drink a soda or cup of coffee. One of the main ingredients in many migraine meds, including Excedrin Migraine, is caffeine. It can help take the edge off of a headache or migraine.


Can taking a nap alleviate the symptoms of a migraine headache?

For me sleeping just helps one escape the migraine pain for the duration of the sleep. Try having caffiene as soon as you feel a migraine coming on. My Dr prescribes me 2xpanadol and 2xibuprofen (Neurofen) taken at once as soon as I feel one coming on and it works pretty well. Alternative View Certainly caffeine works well for some people like the above contributor. Hence the success of Excedrin Migraine. However for me, the only way I can "break" my migraines is if I am able to sleep. I have to take medication prescribed by my neurologist, as neither tylenol (panadol) nor ibuprofen touches my migraines. Hope you find some relief.
