How To Pick A Headache Medicine

I had a headache today, and went to the store to buy some headache medicine. I don't get a lot of headaches, so I'm not all that versed in the best product to buy for this kind of condition. Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Motrin, whatver. If it makes the headache go away, then I'm all for it.

Knowing what to pick, however, wouldn't have mattered because the headache was of the blinding kind. If you asked me to grab the Advil, for example, I would've had a hard time seeing it. Luckily, I picked some Bayer aspirin and it worked. Well,it should soon. I'm lucky I grabbed the Bayer, too. With my lack of vision, I could've reached for a can of boullion cubes, and that wouldn't have helped at all.

Two words: Goody's Powders. There really isn't anything better.

I take bouillion for my constant, non-stop, never ending headaches all the time. I guess it doesn't really work all that well.

If you're really off the Coke, the headache is probably coming from caffeine withdrawal. That said the Bayer was an excellent choice. Any aspirin product is going to knock it out because of the caffeine. And I concur that headache powders are the bomb. They’re like 90% caffeine and work faster than anything else. You might want to take one (aspirin/powder) every morning and slowly wean yourself off. I’ve heard one a day is good for the heart, but like anything, you don’t want to over do it.
