I can't take this anymore. I've had a headache for almost 2 years, and have been unemployed and too broke to do anything about it except carry a bottle of excedrin with me everywhere I go.
Everything that I read about headaches points to tobacco as a possible cause. I also may be overdosing on exedrin. I make sure to limit myself to no more than 3 in a day.. but it clearly says do not take for more than 10 days. Well, what's 356 days x 2?
These headaches aren't normal. I'm dizzy, I start stuttering, blurred vision. I almost blacked out twice while driving home today.
Tomorrow I'm done.
Does anybody know of any pain reliever that doesn't contain acetaminophen or aspirin? Excedrin has both. I'm going to get something different in the morning I just don't know what yet.
My plan is to cut smoking and cut those drugs to see what happens. Once I get a job secured I'm going straight to a doctor.
The thing is, I can't remember if the dizzyness and all of that other stuff I mentioned accompanied the start of these headaches.. so I'm not sure if the excedrin is causing it. From what I've read, acetaminophen and aspirin can both start to cause headaches themselves after prolonged use.
So anyhow, Cliffs-
-I need medicine for headaches without acetaminophen or aspirin
-I'm quiting smoking now
damn I hope I pull this through tomorrow.
