Which Is Better Aleve Or Excedrin (Extra Strength)?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Which would you say provides more/better pain relief?

Does one last longer than the other?

Which one starts working the fastest?

I did use Aloeve, but that causes liver issues over time. I am now doing CBD and having better luck with it

I use naproxen (Aleve). I only take it once during the day and once before bed as I need. I will take it twice during the day and at night when symptoms are more severe. Excedrin may work faster because of the caffeine but I don't know if the effect lasts as long. I'm allergic to caffeine so I can't try it for myself.

None are good for our bellys/livers but it doesnt matter if we really need it, right. :/ Maybe this can help. f the label says acedamediphan its slightly better on your stomach and liver. If it says it has an NSAID its slightly worse but helps with swelling. Its kinda a balancing act to symptoms vs. Potential damage if used a lot. Liquid gels tend to act faster than caplets on either side of those choices. Best thing you can do is drink a good amount of water to help your liver keep up good process and dont take anything if you dont absolutely have to.

Aleve is bad for our stomachs as well and may cause leaky gut.
