Heck, I started getting migraines in my teens. I also had bathroom ibuprofen, bedstand ibuprofen, in my backpack, in all of my different coats, in the car, and in my locker. Eventually I even got my wife to carry a bottle in her purse. I learned how to swallow four 200 mg pills without liquid. Anyone who gets regular migraines knows not to take chances!phinds said:•You know you’re over 50 when you have ‘upstairs ibuprofen’ and ‘downstairs ibuprofen’.

Be sure to hydrate well when taking NSAIDS like IB. It's important for the health of your kidneys.topsquark said:I also had bathroom ibuprofen, bedstand ibuprofen, in my backpack, in all of my different coats, in the car, and in my locker.

Ibuprofen kills the kidneys, paracetamol the liver, and ASA the stomach. Prescription-free doesn't mean harmless. IIRC then drinking large amounts of water helps against headaches anyway.berkeman said:Be sure to hydrate well when taking NSAIDS like IB. It's important for the health of your kidneys.
Yeah, I learned from a sports Doc at a triathlon I was working that we should never give out IB to the athletes, because the combination of dehydration from the event and the vasoconstriction of the NSAID is a double-whammy for the kidneys. Once we explained to the athletes why we weren't giving them NSAIDS, they were usually fine with taking some alternative (like Tylenol).fresh_42 said:Prescription-free doesn't mean harmless.
Oh it was worse than that. I was getting 6 migraines a week, 12 to 14 hour duration. I had to take a dose of ibuprofen at the first sign of pain, then again every four hours because if it wore off I was done for. (I really hated the days I woke up with one.) None of the usual prescribed medications had much of an effect and things like the barbiturate derivative they had me on for a time didn't do any better than OTC.fresh_42 said:Ibuprofen kills the kidneys, paracetamol the liver, and ASA the stomach.
