What happens if you OD on migraine medicine?

If you overdose on Excedrin Migraine (if you take more than 4000mg of acetaminophen, or more than 16 tablets in 24hrs), go to the emergency room as soon as possible.

Taking more than 4000mg of Acetaminophen (paracetemol in the UK, and the main ingredient in Tylenol) can cause liver damage and possibly liver failure. At the ER, they will test your liver function and may give you an antidote (N-Acetyl-Cysteine).

If you receive the antidote within 4 hours of the last ingestion you may be able to ward off significant liver damage.

The amount of tablets a 150lb man or woman would need to overdose on the aspirin component of Excedrin is much higher than the acetaminophen. About 40 tablets. The acetaminophen overdose becomes the primary concern, because at 16-20 tablets you may be causing liver damage.

Not all the Excedrins have exactly the same amount of ingredients in them.

Excedrin Extra Strength and Excedrin Migraine are the same.

Excedrin PM and Excedrin Tension Headache have 500mg of acetaminophen per caplet.

Make sure you are taking all acetaminophen containing products into account, including things like Nyquil.

Is it serious if you've banged the forehead and you have headaches and felt dizzy and faint when you stand up?

You could have a slight concusion you will probably be ok but if you notice many more changes go to the hospital and get an x-ray or a small emergency medical center it would be cheaper and pay cash. That way it would be cheaper all the way around. Is your vision good? That is something to consider. Your brain probably got jolted and it is reacting to it. Sometimes also the scull can get a hairline crack which can cause these symptoms you said you have. Even so it will heal. Like I said though if you get any other strange sensations in your head it could be bleeding is taking place not something to mess with.

Flashy lights in eyes numbness in left hand and left side of face then left with a headache - what causes this?

I get this - pain in the left shoulder and "pins and needles" and tingling down to the mid forearm - several times a day. Sometimes the pain aches so much it's hard to deal with. I'm a PC user at work, and use it for several hours a day (about 6 or 7). I have a feeling that the pain and other symptoms are to do with poor posture at the workstation as I tend to lean on my left elbow. If others out there who are regular PC users have similar problems it may be because of this. I have altered my posture at the PC and the symptons are less recurrent - but no less severe. A VDU assessment by your company's assessor may highlight the problem, so why not give it a go? Sufferer in silence, UK
