Since alcohol is a depressant, basically it makes your medication not work. It is very likely for you to become very depressed a day or two after drinking. Also, depakote strengthens the effect of alcohol. So lets say it takes you 4 shots to get drunk, well, with depakote you'll probably get drunk with 2 or 3 shots.
What can cause you have loss of vision for a short period of time with migraine?
During certain types of migraine headaches there are 4 phases. Prodrome, Aura, Pain, Postdrome.
During the Aura phase some people experience an "aura" as flashing lights or loss of peripheral vision. Some people have a greying out or blacking out of vision nearly entirely.
Migraine is a neurological problem, beginning with a change in the electrical activity in the brain. Scientists are still not sure exactly what causes aura, but they believe it may have something to do with this electrical activity and the change in blood flow which happens in the brain during a migraine attack.
While most people experience aura as short duration right before the headache begins, others continue to experience the aura during or after the pain is over.
What happens to your body when you take ibeprofen and excedrin together?
First of all, have you (or someone else) taken Ibuprofen and Excedrin together? If so you need to walk away from the computer now, grab your telephone and dial 1-800-222-1222.This is the number for your nearby Poison Control Center. You need to tell the call taker everything that you've taken within the last 24 hours or so and describe any symptoms you (or whomever has taken the medications) are having.
Excedrin contains Acetaminophen and Asprin. Neither of these drugs should under any circumstances (except under direct supervision of a physician) be taken together. The interactions between Excedrin and Ibuprofen are very detailed, but in short it can cause severe problems with the clotting mechanism your body has that stops you from bleeding. If you're brusing easily you need to call poison control, then make an appointment to see your doctor. If you have uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or another serious symptom you should call 911 immediately.
While I'm not telling you any of this to frighten you, the interactions between these drugs can be life threatening if in sufficient doses, so this needs to be taken seriously.
The active ingredient in Lortab - hydrocodone - is a narcotic medication. There are no narcotic medications over the counter in the US.
Unfortunately, mixing and matching Tylenol and Motrin will generally not add up to the same relief found through narcotic pain medication.
That said, some people do respond very well by treating pain with the prescription strength dose of Motrin/Advil (800mg) or taking two Aleve (which is about the same as prescription strength Naproxen). For migraines, the sooner into your migraine that you take the dose of one of the above medications, the better chance you have to head off the inflammation process that occurs that causes so much pain.
In Canada, there is a muscle-relaxant called methocarbamol which is OTC. In both the UK and Canada, there are preparations of acetaminophen with small amounts of codeine.

Dosages vary depending upon the condition being treated and by taking into consideration the weight of the patient.

Can head and neck position help migrains?
First view:
I never have felt that it does. Though, I do suggest watching what you eat. Some people have Migrains because of what they eat. I also have heard from a trusted source that Magnisim,(It might be spelled with U) Takes migrains away in minutes to half an hour.
Another view:
i have found that it does. Whether or not it will help your migraines depends on what is triggering them and what shape your body is in. In my case, a pinched nerve contributes to the pain. If i spend a few minutes stretching before i even get out of bed, and especially spend some time on my neck and shoulders, i have been able to substantially reduce my own migraine pain in the mornings. This doesn't help with my other symptoms (aura, nausea, sensitivity to sound) but it does relieve some of the pain, and i think, prevent greater attacks later in the day. i would attribute stress relief from the stretching to be a part of that relief too.
