I've probably taken about 25 ibuprofens today (yes I know its not safe)
Ive taken a Vicadin - All it did was make me tired..
I did excedrin too..didnt work..
I dont want to go to bed, but how can I get rid of this - preferably with little/no medicines.

I think the headache has become secondary to the concern you should have over the amount of chemicals you have taken.
25 of ibuprofen, then vicodin and then adding an unspecified number of excedrin makes for a chemical cocktail that can be very harmful, and you probably need to get rid of it before doing anything else.
Ipecac might be recommended.(if you have it)...it makes you vomit, and vomiting will help to get rid of the undigested chemicals.
(If you do this, drink a large glass of water afterwards, and perhaps take a vitamin C pill to help with electrolyte loss )
Vomiting will not remove whatever chemicals have been absorbed into your system already, and that quantity may also be harmful.
You should see a doctor right away.

The first thing I try for a headache is drinking water. Some of the worst headaches are caused by dehydration, which is cured by drinking water.
After I've drank a couple of glasses of water, and the headache hasn't left, I try a caffinated drink, because a lot of headaches are caused by caffeine withdrawal. Caffeine withdrawal can be so bad that it makes your hands shake, and the headache is worse than some migraines.
Easily fixed....easy to eliminate as the reason for your headache.
Good luck!!

Well your already pretty loaded up on drugs, so the best thing is to go into a dark room with a ice pack lay down and put the ice on youre head. Or, take a nice hot shower.

I don't know what to tell you about getting rid of the pain, but you definitely need to see a doctor. Severe long lasting headaches can be caused by a lot of different things.

It sounds to me like you need to go the emergency room. I have found Gingko Bilboa to be the best for headaches including migraines. You can find it at most grocery stores in the health food section.

Have a good head massage with some good herbal oil. leave for 30 mins and then have a good shower bath. Don't strain your body and mind. Relax and feel good.
If this doesnt help then you must consult a doctor.

Try drinking a large glass of water. I'm totally serious.

deep breathing. pressure points (pulling your hair helps, i know it sounds weird, but it does). try eating something- especially since you have all those pills in you already.
