Q: Tension Headache On Day 11

I read the post below, however, my question is different.

I had a tension headache (first time) and saw my family doctor who prescribed advil (6/day) for 4 days. This didn't work at all and I went back to see him

i was prescribed tylenol 3 (30mg) - one or two every 4-6 hours, along with apo-diclo sr (75mg), once per day. They make me dizzy and nauseous, but don't upset my stomach. Last night, when I took two for the first time (tylenol 3), I became so nauseous, I vomited.

I have been taking both of these pills for 4 days now and still no relief. Should I wait a bit longer? My doctor said to take them for at least a week, but i'm concerned that i'm not getting any improvement whatsover.

The feeling is quite horrible and depressing. I'm feeling like this is never going to go away.
