Yes to Tylenol, no to Aleve (if you're already taking another NSAID like Motrin)

Excedrin works much better on my headaches than any other OTC medication.

I honestly thought about giving that a try today. But is as typical when I get one of these about 1x a year

800 Motrin +1000 Tylenol. Several studies state this combo as good as narcotics
