I have had some luck taking sudafed and using a Vicks Sinex inhaler before I go to bed. Then when the headache wakes me up I take a dose of BC powder and wash it down w/ a couple of pints of water before the pain gets to full strength. It seemed to mello the monster for me. -Tim

Hi Tim. I'm not sure what BC powder is, but I have used sudafed once in a while during the day for minor headaches. I'm glad it works for you. Can you elaborate a little more about your headaches and what else you may have tried?

What is BC powder?
Welcome, Tim.
Some here have reported some success with taking benedryl at night as well.
Tell us a bit about yourself, and about your headaches, eh? Lots of experienced and knowledgeable people here who are ready and willing to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
Again, welcome, and pull up a chair....
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Which of these three BC Powders is it?
http://www.bcpowder.com/Products.aspx
If it's the Original Formula BC Powder, which contains...
Aspirin 650 mg
Caffeine 33.3 mg
Salicylamide 195 mg
The 33 mg caffeine may be helping, but that's less caffeine than a cup of coffee or a Red Bull.
If it's the Allergy-Sinus-Headache BC Powder, which contains...
Acetaminophen 650 mg
Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 60 mg
I don't see how it could be much help for CH, but if it works for you that's great

Being born and raised in northwest Ohio, I never heard of BC Powders, or Goody's either, until I moved to NC. (must be a Southern thing) I think it's pretty much an aspirin compound, in powdered form that you open the little packet, sprinkle the stuff on your tongue, and swallow it. I have a very close friend who swears by it. I've never tried it, but I guess it gets in to your system faster than the good old Bayer tablets.
My friend says it tasts awful, so I'll stick to Bayer.

used to try them in the earliest days of my CH. could never stand the tase, or the aftertaste. since I like the taste of red bull, I'd rather go with the redbull for the caffeine and taurine kick.
