Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: question about headaches

Last year I was going through one bottle of excedrin (50 pills) almost every week - I had gotten to the point where my body was use to getting that much caffine so if I did not get a headache I did not take it and then I would get a headache from no caffine - etc etc I finally got off it after talking with my doctor and I tried Imitrix all the way up to the top dose and it did nothing for me so he put me on Duradrin (I think is what it was called) and it worked well and I took tylenol for headaches first if it got worse then I took the duradrin. I had to get off the medication briefly last year because I was pregnant and never got back on it cause never had really bad headaches - until recently...
And yes I use to drink tons of coffee maybe 3-4 cups a day sometimes more, no soda really except with alcohol but even that ws not much - so when I started this diet I stopped cold turkey with the coffee and it has been hard - and when they got bad I took excedrin and now I thnk my body is hooked again...
I have to start taking tylenol again when I feel a headache and I know I will get away from the caffine withdrawls - it is just hard...
Thanks for your reply...
Oh and yes I have been diagnosed with migraines...and yes I would much rather have a ibs attack then go through 2-3 days of a constant migraine!!!!!!!
