Dull headaches every day...

I am almost at three weeks after cold turkey from Hydrocodone...YEAH!  I can HONESTLY say I feel better and am much happier! (HOPE for all you are going through cold turkey!)

One question...I have dull headaches every day.  Does anyone know a good OTC medication to take?  I have posted this question before.  I am still drinking tea (did not quit that).  Someone from this forum suggested Excedrin also.

THANKS!

If tea is your only vice than God Bless.  Does Aleve work for you?  I have also heard Excedrin is great...my friend gets migraines and sometimes they work for that.  I hope I can say that I am three weeks clean. Only day 2 and I pray I have it in me.

Coffee :)

Excedrin works because it has caffiene.  I would stay clear of Aleve but that is just me. Hubby was having sinus issues and went to buy some aleve and the pharmacist explained that he ONLY take the directed dosage (I think 3 a day), said it is really hard on the organs and if you can to find an alternative do it.  In which he went to Advil.

THANKS for the posts!  I don't like coffee...so I drink tea (-:

I will start to stay away from Aleve...I have been taking a lot of it lately.

Just keep staying strong with cold turkey.  Each day is hard but eventually things start to get better (-:

I am feeling so much better (except for headaches).
