I seldom have headaches, and seldom take medications. When I do I prefer Aleve, it seems to work the best for me. If I get a tootheache it's a godsend until I can get to the dentist.

I have a cup of tea or a glass of wine... depending on what time of the day it is.

I prefer not to take anything, but for the occasional unbearable one I'll take a Tylenol.

I take white willow bark, which I think is aspirin without acetic acid.

I check my urine first, if it is yellow then I grab a tall cool glass of water. If not, I take Aspirin.

EDIT: I forgot to type in yellow.

Advil when it's really bad, other than that I wait it out.

Tylenol, but I will avoid till the last minute... I learned that if you keep taking this or that too much your body willl not react the way it should... so when (rarely) I take it works promptly.
