NyQuil for headaches?!


Question: NyQuil for headaches!?
Occasionally I get really bad headaches!. I try everything, from drinking a ton of liquid, to resting!. But none of that seems to work!.

Well I started to look into the cabinet for any headache relief medicine, couldn't find anything besides NyQuil, so I decided to try it!.

In about 10 minutes, my headache was completely gone!. So I've been using it everytime I get a big headache!.

My dad said it's not good at all, because I may develop a dependency on it!.

I don't take it as often for one to develop, but he still says I should stop!.

What do you think!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I also get bad headaches from time to time so I will try Nyquil!.
But does it make you sleepy!? Typically when I take that it is a night and I fall right to sleep!.

If you are taking it every day than it may become less effective!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hmm!.!.!. Interesting!. WHy dont you read that active ingredient list!. Its tylonal and drinking alcohol!. Perhaps you should just try taking some tylonal instead!. And watch the drinking alcohol part!. With most states getting tougher on blood alcohol levels for driving, in some places it is possible to get a dui with a dose or 2 of nyquil depending on how long before getting pulled you took as well as your weight!. One dose contains 10% alcohol, and while that may not sound like much, it is enough that it could make a difference!. Its about the same equivalent of drinking a beer!.

They make liquid forms of regular tyonal if you like that its liquid vs a pill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It does have acetminophen in it which is tylenol!. But if you have tried that Im sure its not that that is helping!. You may go to the doctor to see if you have a sinus infection, since Niquil has Doxylamine succinate which is an antihistamine!. That is probably what is helping your headache!. It has alcohol in it but its not enough for it to hurt you!. And I dont believe that you will become dependent on it!. Try something eles that has an antihistame in it and see if it helps!. I think youre having sinus headaches!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know how you feel!. I have been suffering from chronic headaches since I was about 12!. I get one about everyday!. I have had MRI's and Millions of doctors visits, now that I am grown I finally had a doctor tell me what my mom failed to tell me my pediatrician told her, I am suffering from tension migraines and they are caused from stress and anxiety!. It is not healthy at all to take NyQuil constantly!. I developed a BIG dependency on Excedrin for a LONG time!. I am now taking amytriptaline for my headaches and it is working really well!. I would suggest talking to a doctor, you Really don't want to go years like I did with these headachesWww@Answer-Health@Com
