What does anyone here know about Voltarol?
I've gradually developed a blinding headache over the course of today and in desperation have accepted a colleague's offer of Voltarol in lieu of more recognised painkillers.

It's not working.

My clinical opinion is that Voltarol does not work for your headache

Brilliant
I was hoping for experience of timeframes before the fucking thing kicks in, and ideally 100% agreement that accompanying the pain relief is a sense of euphoria akin to watching a Cylon attack wipe out an Oasis reunion gig

Drink a shitload of water
This normally stops 90% of my headaches without taking any pills

It's an non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
Should be taken in combination with paracetamol for best effect.

It'll still have an effect though!
How many did you take? Aspirin would be good to take too, but only if you're not drunk, anaemic or haemophilic!

We're all haemophiliac on /OT, aren't we?
