Best Answer

Excedrin Migraine, which is the same as regular Excedrin, contains three ingredients. One is Tylenol (acetaminophen), which is safe to take during pregnancy. The second is aspirin, which is not recommended during pregnancy. The third is caffeine, and Excedrin has about the same caffeine as a cup of coffee can have at its weakest. Caffeine usually seen as fine in moderation during pregnancy.

So, because of the aspirin, the answer is no.

However, you can take Tylenol. You can even take Tylenol with codeine or Vicodin or Percocet, so long as you are taking them in limited amounts and only when you absolutely need them. The dangers of opiates during pregnancy are few so long as use is not consistent enough to hook the baby on the medication.

It depends on what your doctor has told you. Excedrin is a combination of acetaminophen (which is almost always fine when pregnant) and aspirin (which can cause bleeding) and caffeine (which can elevate heart rate and blood pressure). Ask your doctor before taking any OTC medications.

Can you take excedrin migraine while taking Vyvanse?

DON'T DO IT! Technically you can, but Excedrin migrate has caffeine in it, enough that when I took it while on vyvanse, my heart was racing and I could not stop vommitting. If you can drink a bunch of coffee while on vyvanse, you probably won't have an issue with the Excedrin migrane, but be careful when taking too many stimulants at the same time.

Can you take methadone and excedrin migraine together?

Yes, you can take methadone and Excedrin Migraine together. Methadone is a synthetic opiate medication used to treat pain and also combat the withdrawal symptoms of heroin. It is used to treat heroin withdrawal because it puts an opiate in the system of the patient, but does not provide the euphoric rush that heroin does. Excedrin Migraine contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin (an NSAID), and caffeine. None of the ingredients in Excedrin Migraine should interfere with methadone use.
