  I urgently need one. Getting pissed off everyday.

  In fact, I somehow overshot my stop on my way home again. The 2nd in the same number of months.

  *me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*

  Been having a bad, bad migraine since afternoon.

  Panadol + coffee doesn't seem to be helping much.

  Anyone with other suggestions?

  Are you mad???

  Coffee and panadol??? Coffee not only negates the effect but also makes your headache worse!

  dark room, cold towel over eyes, control your breathing.. slowly slow down your breathing and deepen your breaths... slowly...

  think and control your muscles around your brows, your temples... make them relax... ensure towel remains cool... think about your breathing..

  after a few minutes, you'll feel refreshed...

  please know what you are talking about.. caffeine enhances and speeds up the effects of paracetamol

  that's why you have panadol extra... 500mg paracetamol and 60mg caffeine

  Dunno. My pharmacist sis discourages such a practice. Plain water is better.

  But, nothing beats taking a nice rest.

  Dunno.

  But for myself, coffee makes my headache worse too. Panadol is essentially a painkiller. Caffeine simply stimulates your brain and negates this effect, and makes it worse in fact.
