Coffee is good against a headache brought on by caffeine withdrawal (which is actually quite a lot of headaches).

Haha. Enjoy your caffeine addiction, faggot.

>1) Nope
Coffee is an adenosine antagonist (leading to increased heart rate and palpitations) and a PDEi (seemingly causing the increased alertness - I'll have to recheck that one). Doesn't have any effect on blood clotting the way aspirin does.
>2) Nope
Aspirin inhibits the COX2 enzyme permanently (that is to say it covalently binds it, denaturing in the process, the enzyme must be recycled and reformed to allow it to work again). COX2 makes a lot of inflammatory mediators - the prostaglandins as well as thromboxane a2 responsible for platelets - the main clotting cell coming together. Block thromboxane and you block platelet aggregations (more of less - there are other pathways)
>3) Not sure - PDEi likely cause vaisodilation and would make a headache worse, but different PDEi have different affinities - so I can't say for sure. Paracetamol is probably your best bet against headache.

Protip: Sex will cure a headache. Though I guess for you guys that's less accessible than a cup of coffee.

No, that would be a trainwreck - and several other people have told me that.

However, I'm happy to explain the parts that are unintelligible, it was hastily written.

Caffeine can help with certain types of headaches, like some migraines, and is the secondary ingredient in several pain medications, like Excedrin. So, yeah it might help a bit, but normal pain meds, like aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen, will do more.

>> No.4203569

>>4203532
Also, the PDEi isn't responsible for the caffeine buzz - that'd be the adenosine receptor antagonism when the caffeine gets into the brain.

What's wrong? Caffeine withdrawl bringing out your defensive side? Better go get a Starbucks before you're quivering too violently to walk.

Do you drink coke or tea? If so it's very likely you have caffeine dependence too, around 30mg/day is more than enough to affect dependence.

Nope, neither regularly. I splurge on a soda once a month.
