I am curious, have you quit taking excedrin? i too am addicted to excedrin and have been for about 3 years. isnt much but i dont want it to turn to more. i have tendonitis in both shoulders that i cant seem to get rid of...thinking it may be more. i get bad headaches daily that last pretty much 24-7. and i also sprained my back 3 years ago and never took physical therapy (which the back pain started it all). i take up to 15-20 a day in doses of 4 at a time. i cant seem to shake the addiction. when i try to stop taking them i get really tired and run down, headaches get worse, my whole body aches, and flu-like symptoms. does anyone have any suggestions?
Irritability, nausea, flu-like symptoms, headaches.
In addition to physical dependence though the addiction is also psychological. Whenever something pisses me off or stresses me out, I always want to take a pill!
what symptoms are you haveing when you try to quit?
Are you talking about OTC excedrin w/ Tylenol caffeine and ASA?
