Best Answer

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.

Each patient's medical history as well as the other medicines that patient is taking, and at what dosages, must be taken into consideration when deciding which medicines are safe to take with another medicine. There is no right or wrong answer to this question without further information. There are online drug interaction tools which may be used by those without access to a physician, but these are not able to take medical conditions into consideration.

For best results in diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache and Migraine specialist.

Can you take methadone and excedrin migraine together?

Yes, you can take methadone and Excedrin Migraine together. Methadone is a synthetic opiate medication used to treat pain and also combat the withdrawal symptoms of heroin. It is used to treat heroin withdrawal because it puts an opiate in the system of the patient, but does not provide the euphoric rush that heroin does. Excedrin Migraine contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin (an NSAID), and caffeine. None of the ingredients in Excedrin Migraine should interfere with methadone use.
