Ok, every time I take Exedrin for a headache, I feel weird, Why?

[Spirit2010]

Same as header. I feel weird everytime I take it, and I don't know why, and I still have the darn thing!! A really bad headache.. And today is the concert!! Gosh darn it!!! Could it be because of Carbon Monixide? Or being on the computer hours at a time? Or does it just have a lot of caffeine in it? ug, and I took the PM stuff last night for it.. grr. Thank you for reading!

weird in what way? like spacey or anxious? if its just spacey then you might have a low tolerance for whatever is in the Exedrin... if its anxious then I wouldn't take it anymore. Have you tried just Acetimetifin (sp!!) Is it for a migrain or a normal headache?

Dont mess with CO if you think its leaking somewhere, have it fixed.

Still my bet with Excedrin is the caffeine levels, it has a ton.

 

[Spirit2010]

It is a spacey and anxious feeling, when I take two. When I take one, I am just fine. And caffeine makes me awfully hyper. lol

Being on the computer hours on end can give you a headache, especially if you're stressed or anxious to begin with.

I don't know exactly what Excedrin is.. but it sounds like you could have a low tolerance to it, or possibly even are allergic. Don't take it for a while. You might even have a 'bad' batch or something, for all I know.

Get some sleep--some real sleep, 8 hours minimum, you could be stretching yourself thin with Whisper--and have yourself some tea and a tylenol or motrin, something like that. Those usually relieve the headaches. I'd let the Excedrin get out of your system, first, though. If you're having a bad reaction to it, who knows what might happen when you add other drugs to the mix.

ETA: spacey and hyper are caffiene symptoms. How much did you eat before you took them? If you're going to have anymore.. take them on a FULL stomach.

 

[Spirit2010]

I ate after I took them. I hope the feeling goes away soon!

excederin has caffine in it so that is most likely the problem. take one or try another pain reliever that doesn't have caffine in it.

I bet that's it as well. Excederin does a better job on my headaches than anything else, but I can't take it in the afternoon/evening. It will keep me up for hours.

Tylanol is a distant second for me.

It's probably the caffiene in aspirin that makes you feel weird. It does that to me to.

 

[Psyfalcon]

It has tons...

I'm a habitual soda drinker... cherry coke, code red, all the good stuff. I actually get caffeine withdrawal if I don't have any. Still, I can't have Excedrin and sleep!

Excedrin contains acetamenophen, caffeine, and aspirin. The combination of the 3 drugs is probably what makes you feel strange.

 

[squirtsmom]

I agree.
