what can i take??

I woke up saturday with a splitting headache. Its almost as bad a migraine. My eyes hurt, it hurts to move my head. Im just miserable. I have taken tylenol every four or five hours since saturday. I just want to curl up and go to sleep. But i have to work. So does anyone know of anything i can take that will help me make it through the night other then tylenol?? Im 22 weeks.

I took fioricet for nearly ten weeks during my last pregnancy. Almost everyday too...my son isnow a healthy two year old! My Dr told me all it is is stronger tylonel with caffeine in it and something else j can't remember. Have you tried taking a benedryl with the Tylenol? Sometimes that helps me . I'm 30 wks now and have been lucky to not have as many headaches this time

Thats what mine called me in was fioricet. The pbarmacist was telling me that pain killers such as lortab were safer during pregnancy the only.real risk with them was addiction. Idk it scared me when she told me that lol

My Dr prescribed me fiorcet, but that doesn't help me so I actually have to take Lortab or I end up in the emergency room, but I can't take them very often

I called my dr. They called me in some kind of medicine but the pharmacists called me and was telling me to only take it when i needed it because some risks couldnt be ruled out. I dont know what to do lol... kinda scared me. Why woould my ob give me something that could be harmful???

Tylenol is the only thing you can take. I had the same problem when I was early in my pregnancy. I am now 38 weeks. Before, I would get headaches everyday. Bad ones. Now I haven't had any in months. I suggest drinking lots of water. That was the cause of my headaches. I wasn't dehydrated... but I was close.  Just make sure your staying hydrated! :)

You need to get your blood pressure checked. My dr tells me to call if I have a headache that lasts more than a day and wont go.away with tylenol
