Drug Interactions?

I had a sick migraine yesterday, but i have to say, they are not as frequent as they have been, but this one was a doozzy. Anyways, i got so desprite, i took advil migraine at 4 in the morning, didnt help. i took my allergy pill twice, sudiphed, didnt do much, took a nap and woke up with severe pain, around 11 i took 2 excedrin migraine. helped a little. a few hours later it was coming back, so i took tyenol sinus. didnt last long. took 2 ibuprofin. helped a little. then for a while, it seemed ok, until later in the night, i took my last dose for the day which was tyenol arthritus and 1 ibuprofin.
Now, i was told to stop taking the ingredient that is found in excedrin and tyenol, because of how much i was taking for pain, i did a number to my liver. but, in all honesty, it helps more than the ibuprofin sometimes. it just depends on what kind of headache i have, and sometimes i can not tell. i have migraines, but i also have tmj. which is another reason why i take the ibuprofin and advil migraine, to hopefully help with the jaw pain. but when it comes to the sick migraines, nothing usually helps. and i end up with these mixtures.
So, i need to know what i could be doing to my system. i tryed to look it up, but didnt have much luck, so if you could please help me, i would appreciate it greatly. Thank you.

Chris,

Sorry to hear about your pain.  Just taking pain killers does not and has not helped you.  You can get rebound headaches even from over the counter meds.  You need to see a doctor, preferably a headache specialist or a neurologist to try prophylactic meds that you take every day to help prevent the migraines.

As to your tmj, I got physical therapy for it which greatly helped mine.

I can't help you about the liver damage, but whichever doctor told you about it would know and could advise you about what may be necessary for you to do at this stage.

Cluster headaches, severe migraines, altitude sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning may have something in common--headaches caused by lack of oxygen. This may also explain why some people who suffer from panic attacks get headaches during those attacks, because when scared, the person begins to hyperventilate. (http://www.ehow.com)
