Answers:
She told you to take that because caffeine is an ingredient in it. If your doctor drinks coffee or tea or soda frequently she probably has a caffeine addiction too. Most people who drink these do and get these headaches too. If I don't drink coffee in the morning I get one too and the aspirin is the first thing I reach for and it does work. If it's not working for you try taking an extra one or getting and extra strength version. There is a powdered headache medication called Goodies and it has a lot of caffeine in it. You just mix it with a small amount of liquid and drink it and then of course follow it with more liquid because the taste isn't great. There is also another one called BC but I have found that the Goodies works best> So good in fact that the taste doesn't bother me because I know my headache will be gone very soon.Health Question & Answer

i was addicted after having my baby...needed it to stay awake, nurse, pump, work...1 big cup in am; i started having regular headaches and worsened and persisted esp w/screaming baby...i decided to cold turkey and got withdrawl headaches, motrin did not help; i decided to treat myself w/ a lower dose of caffeine, by using black and irish tea. i would steep the tea bag only 3 times, throw it away, sip 2-3 sips enough to prevent headaches and then throw away the tea; i did this several days in a row sipping less each day; off coffee, no headaches and no meds within 1 wk; good luck.Health Question & Answer
