Only take as much as it takes to control the pain. Start out with 200 mg every 4 hours. If that works, stop. If it doesn't, take 400 mg. and see if that works. If you have to take more that 600 mg every 4 hours to control the pain, it's time to go to the doctor. Good luck.

Can you take Sudafed non drowsy with ibuprofen?

You should not take Excedrin Migraine and Ibuprofen together, because Excedrin Migraine (and regular Excedrin Extra Strength) contains Aspirin, which is in the same NSAID category that Ibuprofen is. Taking them together can increase the risk of damage to the stomach lining, which can cause ulcers. It is not recommended to even take Ibuprofen with the low-dose aspirin used to prevent heart attack and stroke, because Ibuprofen can wipe out the protective quality you are taking the low-dose aspirin for. Excedrin Tension Headache contains the Acetaminophen and Caffeine, but not the Aspirin, and this would be safe to take with Ibuprofen.
