While I was hoping to wake up feeling better the next morning after taking the Zicam I had gotten from Crowdtap to try out for myself and to share with others, I actually felt worse. I woke up with a tremendous headache. Hoping that another Zicam would help, I popped another one in my mouth. But when I felt worse after taking it, I also took two Advil.
Since I didn't feel much better after waiting for both medications to work, I decided to read the Zicam label to see if I had sone something wrong or to find if my headache was a side effect of the drug. While I didn't find that information, I found out that I had made an error when I took the Advil after the Zicam. After taking Zicam, one is supposed to wait 15 minutes before drinking anything. I took the Advil with water less than 15 minutes after taking the Zicam. I went back to bed, and eventually I felt somewhat better.
When three hours had passed, I tooked another Zicam. Immediately, my headache came back. I took more Advil after wating 15 munutes to drink any fluids. My headache subsided once again, and I was able to get out of my house and run some errands. Unfortunately, the third dose of Zicam once again gave me a headache. But I didn't take any Advil after taking the Zicam, and the headache eased up enough that I was able to work out without any problems.
After experiencing a headache after taking Zicam, I was hesitant to take another dose, but I did. To my relief, there was no headache after taking it. But I did have some sinus pain. I again took some Advil, the sinus pain disappeared, and I happily camped out in front of my television and watched HGTV.
