I will confirm - I hate that I can no longer take my Excedrene, but that's that. My pdoc said that if I get a migrane level headache, once will not kill me, but I need to use Tylenol. No asprin either.
Good luck!

Paracetamol (called acetaminophen in the USA) and aspirin do not appear to interact with Li. If it was absolutely necessary to use an NSAID during Li treatment it would be very important to monitor the Li level closely and adjust the Li dose as appropriate.
