If you're eating a balanced diet, you should not be taking vitamins. Over dosing is every bit as bad as not enough.

The caffeine in Excedrin allows the pain killer to actually be absorbed. I found this out when I went to my doctor for headaches and told him the Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Aspirin, etc. didn't work for me. Excedrin does. It's the only painkiller that works on my headaches.

I occasionally get migraines too, but those are a whole 'nother story and a whole different med.
Yes but excedrin should be reserved for pain that does not respond to other meds....in addition to the caffeine, it also contains ASA which is not good for routine use. Best to determine cause of pain and treat accordingly with proper and safe dosage only as needed! I definitely agree that balanced diet is preferable over supplements
I’m not eating a balanced diet. I eat like crap. :lau :oops: and I don’t think I’m overdosing but :confused:

And yes, this is exactly why I take it!! Except now the normal dose doesn’t work either so I had to start taking 2 1/2 and now 3. :th

That said, I don’t use it that much anymore because I’ve been getting them less and also trying to figure out other causes and see if it’s fixable before jumping to meds which has helped fix that.
 
Depending on which vitamin it is, over dosing can be much worse than having too little. The human body does not deal with all vitamins in the same way. Excess amounts of many vitamins are excreted but this does not happen with all vitamins.
I’ve looked into it before and I’m pretty sure most of the ones I take are the excretable ones.
 
most of your issues probably stem from not having a routine. you need to have proper, balanced diet with adequate hydration in addition to exercise/activity and SLEEP!! if any area is lacking even sporadically it’s difficult to recover from it.
Yeah probably but even still, probably not every single one. And I have a lot of the symptoms. It would explain a lot. I know most of them are probably from what you said though so I should of course try that first but I also don’t think it would hurt to at least get tested and be sure so I can calm down. Especially since I think my mom also has something up with hers. But I also know sometimes I’m a bit of a hypochondriac and jump to diseases or whatever but this particular one would just explain so much which I think is why I’m so interested.
