The maximum daily dose of Tylenol is supposed to be safe but giving the liver a break is helpful. You should ask the pharmacist about the Tegretol.
You can also ask for a liver enzyme test annually. It is a common test for many who take liver sensitive drugs. |

I had the best results with Topamax (topiramate) 100 mg, which I took for a couple of years. You have to take it daily, but then it prevents the headaches.

Eowyn,
I signed up for a Nedley deal in January. I am only one hour from Weimar so I figured what the heck. Bud |

Interesting you mention that. Although the nuero doc says I am textbook PCS, my chiropractor says in addition to that I do have some whiplash and that the xrays show my atlas thing is way off, so I have two things contributing to these headaches which have been constant and debilitating for almost 2 months. Chiro says this could be from this injury or older injuries. My neuro wouldnt even look at the xray (only mri) and wrote off the chiro. The chiro did some neck adjustments which did not help with the headcahes so I discontinued. I do think both are contributing to the pain.

So far the only thing that has helped for me is Percocet but the Indomethacin seems promising. I definitely want an alternative as I recognize the negatives to opiates, having friends and family fatally overdose from them. I started the Indomethacin 50mg last night and although it did not work as quickly as the percocet or knock as much of the pain down it did provide relief and I slept better than I have in days. Took it again this morning and so far so good. Will keep you posted. Thanks to everyone for your input and help!
