What Pain Medicines Are Best for Headaches/body Aches?

I buy medicine that is chemical free online since my body doesn't do well with the medicine at the store.

water and peppermint for headaches
fish oil and vitamin d for body aches

I prefer ibuprofen......

For OTC(over the counter)meds I vote Excedrin migraine or extra strength depending on what's going on with your body.

Motrin is what I use for almost everything. For bad headaches, I use Aleve and for cramps I use a coke and some motrin.

I prefer Motrin or Alleve for most things (they work better than tylenol in my experience). Excedrine is good for headaches but it has caffeine as well as pain killers in it. I can't take it at night or even after mid afternoon. When it doubt check the active ingredients list on the bottle. I find generic OTC pain killers work just as well as name brands.

excedrine for headaches (make sure it's excedrine PM if you want to sleep!), tylenol for body aches.

I only need pain relief rarely, but when I do I take Advil (Ibuprofen). I don't have headaches, but I sometimes get bodyaches from working out too hard. Advil reduces inflammation.

For me, aspirin works best for headaches and motrin for body aches. Tylenol is completely useless to me and helps with nothing.

Excedrine migrane is good! Thats normally the only thing I take for headaches. It has caffine in it which helps with them.

It's like this:
Fever, dental pain - acetaminophen
Muscle aches - ibuprofen
Regular headache - 3 ibuprofen
Migraine - Excedrin Migraine

For a headache, nothing beats Excedrin Migraine in my opinion! It's like a miracle drug!
