I swear by Tylenol, my DH loves Excedrin and my youngest DS (the one with migraines) only takes Advil.

What do you take?
 

I usually take aspirin, sometimes Advil. Tylenol doesn't even touch my headaches.
 
Regular headache = Ibuprofen (not picky about brand) or Excedrin

Sinus headache = any kind of sinus headache formula I can get my hands on at the time
 
Advil or Motrin when I'm not pregnant. Only Tylenol now since I'm pregnant. Whatever I take, I find that 99% of the time, just one is enough to get rid of my pain. I rarely have to take the full dosage.
 
I try not to take a drug unless I really have to (sometimes when I have a REALLY bad migrane I will) Otherwise I use an ointment called Pearl Essential. It is in the same family as Tigar Balm, and it works wonders! Just a bit on the temples and the headache is gone within 10-15 minutes :)
 
I take Excedrin Migraine if that doesn't work I take Vicodin and go to sleep it's the only thing that can help my migraines.
 
Crown Royal.... ;)

actually, ibuprofen usually works for me.
 
<font color=navy>Exedrin, or the generic counterpart - advil is like candy, and Tylenol helps little

I mostly get sinus headaches, and I have to take two sinus pills, and then an hour later two aspirin to get rid of the pressure AND pain. If I don't catch it in time, forget it - I'm done for the rest of the day... sometimes more.

I try not to take any for tension/stress headaches.
 
I usually have good luck with Advil Liqui-gels for headaches.
