Question:
When you have a headache what do you take?
I have not taken Tylenol since sugery, and I have a BAD headache tonight. I thought about taking the chewables that my kids take...of course Iwould have to figure out how many. Anyway, does anyone take Extra Strength Tylenol? (RNY 5 months ago) — Lisa S. (posted on May 13, 2008)

Yes, my Dr. said Tylonol is fine to take - in fact I take 2-3 before bed
every night. C.Garber

My doctor said to use liquid tylenol or crush it. He even advised Tylenol
PM if I needed help sleeping.

I use non-coated tylenol tablets... I give them a few careful chews and
swallow...They don't taste bad like aspirin or other meds...and it's fast
and easy rather than crushing them...I had to take one for a terrible
headache today myself! Hope you feel better...I sure did! :)

I rub tiger balm on my temples and use lavendar oil. I don't put anything
in my pouch.

I found that most Tylenol is that "hard" coated extended release
kind. However they do make a "Rapid Release" formula in both that
extra strength and the PM. There also is a "chewable" kind as
well, but sorta hard to find. I carry those in my "glove box" in
case I don't have water available.

I used Tylenol Go-Tabs when I was newly Postop. Now, I use Extra Strength
Tylenol and I cut the pills to get through the coating. I highly recommend
buying a pill cutter (they're a couple of bucks, literally) and cutting all
your pills. We don't always have enough digestive juices to break through
the coatings on pills. This doesn't apply to time-release formulas, of
course. Check with your pharmacist to be sure. Good Luck!

Tylenol is just fine, it is motrin you must avoid. Patricia P.

I take a hand full of medicine at one time. I'm am a bander. I've had no
problems in taking them. I take them only with a sip of drink though. Now
can anyone tell me what RNY stands for.

I found that Tylenol makes a liquid in adult strength. I took this, when I
needed it, for the first month. Then I started using the gelcaps, which go
down easy, and I didn't have any problems. Hope this helps and good luck
with your weight loss!

Stay away from asprin as it burnt a hole in my pouch. Tylenol does not
have an anti-inflamatory drug so it should be OK.

I just break one tylenol in two and have had no problems with it. Tylenol
is okay, but stay away from INSAIDS, like aspirin, and ibuprophen, aleve.

When I was still in the hospital right after my surgery they let me take
one of my Maxalt, a migraine med that dissolves in my mouth. I have taken
tylenol several times since surgery as well (it does not work very well for
headaches for me though). Someone told me to drink a bottle of water and
that would help too... I don't know. Benedryl also helps my headaches
sometimes. Good luck to you!!
