Headache

[Hiroaki]

Oh, the pain.

Which is the best aspirin/pain reliever to take? Alleve seems to kick in pretty fast and do a good job, Bayer feels like second best, but Tylenol sucks. Any suggestions?

I always take Ibuprofen/Advil.
It's fast and does great things for joint pain as well since it's also an anti-inflamatory.
I suffer from Migraines and that is all I take. I have tried all kinds of prescription drugs and none work as well.
Bad thing about Alleve is that if it doesn't work you shouldn't try anything else for about 12 hours.
Advil is only 6.

Tylenol doesn't do a thing for me.
Second best is Asprin with Caffine.

Ack, caffienated beverages seem to amplify my headache! Ibuprofen.. good choice.

Preparations based on acetylsalicylic acid (such as Aspirin etc.) don't work for me.
I prefer Dolormin which is also Ibuprofen-based.
It normally takes 30 min until my headache is completely gone.

@markrb: maybe your migraines would be a bit better if you change your avatar :D
